<i>“You opened me up,” he whispered to his sleeping wife. “And took my heart from my chest. Now how will I live?”</i>
This story is based on Butch Cassidy, a real person, who was an infamous outlaw in the Wild West. I personally had never heard of him before, probably because I’m not American, and I also didn’t care about anything related to the Wild West until very recently.
The story starts out when Butch decides to change everything and leave his former life as an outlaw behind.
I kind of don’t want to say more about the plot because I didn’t know much about the story going in, and I think that made this an even better experience.
It’s a beautifully written story that I could have finished in one sitting, but I made myself slow down to really enjoy it. The pacing is great and the built-up to the end was excellent.
The ending itself felt a bit rushed to me and didn’t really deliver imo, kind of felt too easy and convenient. Like I wanted more from it.. but that’s really just criticism on a very high level.
It didn’t take away from the overall amazing story.
The characters were so clear and vivid to me, the author really brought them to life. The love story was beautiful, so sweet and tender, and I didn’t want it to end.
