A Place Without You by Jewel E. Ann
4.0
“The way he loves me is more beautiful than anything I’ve seen in the whole world—and I’ve seen a lot.”
I wasn’t ready to like this as much as I did. I wasn’t expecting to feel my heart ache the way it did.
It took me a while to get into the book. Maybe it was the insta-love (doesn’t always work for me) but once the story picks up, I couldn’t put it down.
Henna is.. complicated. She’s two different people: the depressed girl with no goals but also a dreamer that despite being rich, is simple and full of life (it’s contradictory, I know). Her immaturity and selfish behavior was a bit a turn off to me at first but she had the greatest development through the story. It’s insane how she grew up and became a confident wise strong woman.
Bodhi has everything on his shoulders. His life isn’t easy, he has so much to lose with this forbidden romance and also is caged to the life he has to the point he’s suffocating. Bodhi is the mature of the two. I love how he loves Henna. He encourages her to live and enjoy life, to chase her dreams and plans even if he can’t be with her, he refuses to hold her back from flying and he’s so proud of her. Seriously, his selfless is inspiring. He, more than any character, deserves so much and so much more.
“In spite of what you believe, my Henna could never be temporary.”
The two, together, are cute and full of passion and love. The way they need each other to breathe shows how much they depend on the other. There was so many obstacles to their relationship but they overcome all of them, with scars but still together.
This book was a pleasant surprise. Totally recommend it to those looking for angst and a sweet couple.
