My Rating: 4 of 5 Stars
What's it all about:
Dani isn’t your normal teenager. She has been through things that someone that young just shouldn’t go through, and it has effected her life drastically. Fast forward to present time, and the mute Dani seventeen year old seems content with hiding away with her life. That is until her brother-in-law forces her to interact with the outside work. Cue in Lincoln Greene. Dani hasn’t felt something this real in a long time, and who knows if it will even last, only time will tell.
The Best Parts:
Everything about this book was basically perfect. I loved the characters even though I haven’t read them from the other books Rachel has written, but make me now want to read! The plot line was great as well. It gave so much hope for that true love that everyone looks for. I especially loves the writing style of going back and forth between Linc and Dani’s POV. It helps with what is actually going on in their heads at that particular moment. I also loved the family mentality throughout the book. For a girl who has almost no family, she seems to have all of the family in the world.
This book is amazing, and I cried on the inside, so many times. I cried on the inside because I couldn’t cry on the outside. There were a few parts that hit my soul a little too hard and I just felt numb. The is one portion with her father that if you have or haven’t read it you will understand. Being a daddies girl and losing my father at 17, this story really hit home. I felt my heart break over and over again with the feeling of I know exactly what Dani is going through and all of the self destructive thoughts going through her head. This novel also reminds me of my husband and I. My husband brought me out of my dark destructive self and helped me learn to love and trust again. This was something that I have been needing for a long time. A book that told me I wasn’t alone. That I’m not crazy. So yea maybe I have a little bias when writing this review, but when ever you read a book you always bring your personal experiences to it, and mine helped me love this book all the more.
The Worst Parts:
There was only one part that bothered me, and why it made me give 4 of 5 starts, and that was the end. I felt like it was so rushed. When Dani freaks out at Linc and goes cold again it isn’t something that is shown very much. She just goes and then comes out. Takes maybe five pages. I wish we could have seen her inner battle and seen more of a fight to get her back. I don’t know something, it just felt like it lacked and then all of a sudden it was all happily ever after.
Final Thoughts:
Buy the book. Buy it now and you won’t regret it. It took me maybe 3 hours to read it. It is totally worth it on so many levels, and just fills your heart with all of the feels. I have read many of Rachel’s books and find her writing amazing, so I may be biased in that department, but let me tell you how amazing this story is! Also, I can’t wait for Zane’s story! :D
