Wait by A.L. Jackson
5.0
WAIT is a purely heartbreaking and agonizing second-chance love story. There is so much pain and want and need dripping from the pages of this story that it’s indescribable. Jackson’s poetic storytelling helps to encapsulate the pain and beauty between Austin and Edie, and there isn’t a moment that it isn’t felt. If words could bleed, these would.
Austin and Edie are so mired by their pasts that they’re stuck in the quicksand of it. The blackness and bleakness has forced both of them to find refuge in harmful ways, but the one saving grace to their spirals is each other. There’s a sense of calm, peace, and home when the two are near, but the past continues to taint even the goodness they find. Both characters felt so different but also incredibly alike and it helped to build this incredible pull to one another that they couldn’t escape.
WAIT hurt. Painfully beautiful, this love story will tear at you. Both Austin and Edie will rip your heart in half. Jackson wrote this story with poetic prose that exposes every emotion to the reader. The writing was lyrically evocative and captured the true musical soul to these characters . It had its own beat, its own rhythm. And the emotional depth that the writing style evoked was poignant and unmistakable. It pulled me in even further to their shredded souls and exposed the true depths to their baser needs. Every aspect of this story led to an amazing love story that cannot be missed. I absolutely adored it, and trust me when I say that this book is a must read.
