Hold You Close by Melanie Harlow, Corinne Michaels

Heartache and beautiful ❤️
Ian Chase is the best friend’s older brother. During her senior year, London Parish finally got her chance with Ian, they exchanged I love yous, only for him to break her heart the next day. Needless to say, they spent the next 17 years hating each other and fighting. Tragedy forced them to move past that.
It’s not very often I read a book where an author hurts my heart so early, but the first 25% of the book is that. I can tell something beautiful is brewing, but my heart had to get through the tough parts to get there. Feels a lot like life doesn’t it? The heartache Melanie Harlow and Corinne Michaels wrote is worth it, because this story is really wonderful. The growth of these characters through a terrible and tragic time was beautiful. I loved the sacrifice and love these two showed throughout the book. What a great story and collaboration between two fantastic authors.
