Above are just some tropes 5at you’ll find within this order full book by the ever so talented Eve Blakely, and let me tell you, you WILL NOT regret reading this story.
The first thing that drew my attention to this story was the cover, I thought and continue to think that it is incredibly beautiful and unique. I feel that when I look at the cover, I relate to it somewhat with the butterflies leaving the chest, and that’s not something a cover has ever made me feel. Thy say you shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover, but we’d be lying if we said we didn’t.
The story is told from two point of views, Olivia’s and Liv’s, the past and the present of one present. I found it extremely interesting and it was a great way to show the development of one person. At first it confused be, but once I caught on, I was in awe of both perspectives, it really helped me to understand the change that Liv went through and just how lonely she must’ve felt during her tough times. My heart ached for Liv and the feelings she experienced. Without giving too much away, how much can one person go through before they break?
EJ is officially my favourite book boyfriend alongside Brendan Taggart… An absolute sweetheart with the biggest heart despite the sadness he feels inside. He is truly the type of person you could call home, and he’ll remain that home forever. From the start, he had my heart, the confidence and cockiness he portrayed was attractive as hell, and yet while he showed those traits, he was as sweet and as gentle as anything. The perfect gentleman and I curse Eve for creating such a perfect specimen THAT DOESN’T EXIST.
If you’ve made it to the end of the review, I beg you go and read this story, your heart will break, you’ll want to cry, you’ll scream at the slow burn between Liv and EJ, you’ll be aching for more.
