DISCLAIMER: I received an e-ARC of this book in exchange for honest review. Non-spoiler review.
My heart is in pieces, in a very good way. I was in tears at a few points and I couldn't take it anymore. I went and stomped around for a bit, and then I went right back to reading. I love Austin and Edie. I keep rubbing my chest because my heart aches. Dead serious. No lie. It hurts. I can only think of a few other books left me like this, so I can proudly say this book hits my Top 10, easy.

Firstly, this book was amazing! I cannot even begin to express how good it was. I do not know how she does it. The story shatters over and over, and then it rebuilds. The transitions from the characters is brilliant. For anyone who is familiar with the lovely A.L's work, this story follows Austin, Sebastian Stone's younger brother. *SIGHS* I cannot get him out of my head. His pain is so . . . UGH! I cannot find the words. This book is an emotional roller coaster, but so worth it. This story is about learning to trust again. It's about second (and third, fourth and fifth) chances. It's about accepting the past, moving forward and forgiving yourself. It's about realizing something is not your fault. A.L. knows how to implement what she wants readers to gather from her novels. This book is no different, if not more.My heart is in pieces, in a very good way. I was in tears at a few points and I couldn't take it anymore.
