Under Your Scars

I read this back to front - which admittedly has undoubtedly impacted my feelings on it, so I’m giving it a 2/5. I don’t think I’m cut out for the dark romance genre.

🎧 Audiobook (duet narration) ⭐️ 5/5 — Joe Arden + Lee Daniels

Five traumatic freaking stars... now can I please have the mangled pieces of my heart back? 🥹😭

I’m curled up on the couch, knees pulled to my chest, staring blankly at the ceiling for answers. Broken. That’s what this book did to me. To my soul.

You may as well prep my headstone—I died seven emotional deaths reading this. 😭

The ending? The epilogue?? You will ugly cry. There’s no escaping it. Jeez.

Christian and Elena’s story wrecked me in the most exquisite way. I fell hard... and was promptly shoved off a cliff with no parachute. And the narrators? Joe Arden and Lee Daniels breathed life into every moment. Their duet took this book from heartache to masterpiece—a full package tied up with a bow.

This book was my complete undoing. And honestly? I might thank it later.  
Just... let me finish crying first. 💔
