Where to begin? Maybe the beginning? Ok to be honest, I struggle with bratty, young heroines and Bri is a serious brat. I had to stop, talk to a friend, take a deep breath and realize a 19 yr old teenager cannot be expected to react like an adult under any circumstances, much less with real trauma involved. So I curbed the urge to shake her, smack her and tried to put myself in her place.
Bri has suffered a real trauma and the way she has chosen to deal with this trauma is very self destructive. I can understand her not believing she would be believed if she told her story. I am not sure she would have been believed under different circumstances. I can actually understand how things unfolded for her ( this is all I am saying - no spoilers) and I'm glad she found some peace, healing and love.
Daimon has the patience of a freakin' saint. He sees Bri's cry for help before she even sees it. He doesn't take no for an answer and thank goodness he is persistent. He was just the man she needed. What I loved about this story is it doesn't just brush over the trauma. It allows the pain to be ever present. It shows that trauma takes time to heal and addiction is a real ongoing process. There is no.... I have suffered but all I need is the love of a good man. That love is important and ever present, yet there is so much more required. I loved how this story was strong and developed without all the blatant "sex solves all problems" take some books rely on. It is a slow burn, but the build up is worth it. Daimon says it best when he talks about Bri bringing out the best version of him and I might add... vice versa.
