Restore Me
by J.L. Seegars
Okay and now who will restore me? after the damage that reading this book has done to my heart, my love for writing and my love for love?
I don't know if any of the words I’ll write will give this book justice, or will give how much I loved it, the characters and their creator justice either.
A story about grief, second chances, selflessness, soft care, desire and the complexity of family. So well weaved because truly that's how I felt J.L Seegars did this story, she weaved it into being. There is a line in the book when she is crying to Mal where she describes the relationship as “The surprising beginning, the perfection of the middle and the devastation of the end” and I found it PERFECT to describe what Sloane and Dominic went through.
You should probably stop here for spoilers :)
now for the deets of my thoughts, first of all, this was a LONG book, probably the longest I have read in while! I mean 960 pages are no feat and I still flew through it in like 2 days! That's how much this story captured my heart.
The way that we learn about Eric and Sloane's relationship is so wonderfully done and understanding why Mama and Mal are so important to Sloane even after his passing makes so much sense as we learn more about her relationship with her mother. So I get where the insecurity of them finding out and the fear of losing them.
And Dom, oh my heart broke every time I read his POV, I mean I can't even imagine the heartbreak of meeting her first and watching her fall in love with his best friend, marry him, and then lose him and still just be holding back. I literally tear up thinking of it.
Their push and pull was literally electric, no other word. This is the first time I have read a twin flame story and fully believe in it. They were meant to be… and precisely in this way as Sloane said “I couldn’t have been yours if I wasn’t his first”… man so many lines from this book are going to be engraved in my heart for a long time. That whole scene at his place I was sobbing, I just love that is so fierce and real and complicated as fuck left to bare and it's not pretty at all and I enjoyed reading it so much. It didn't give me the same “we are fighting to give conflict in the third act” that books do, it was legitimately heartbreaking.
I am so grateful they found their way back to each other 12 years later and I am incredibly thankful to J.L Seegars for writing this book. For inspiring me to pick up the pen again, because reading writing like this? It's what lights my soul too.
