Whiskey & Ribbons by Leesa Cross-Smith

5.0

Every woman I'd ever known felt like a copy of a copy of a copy when I met Evangeline. I'd heard men say things like that, heard actors say things like that in movies-that everything-was-black-and-white-until-he-met-her moment, then suddenly ultralight, vivid, eye-popping color. Evangeline was my Technicolor moment, the big reveal, the screaming colors so bright it felt as if I should hold my ears.

This book....this book broke me. It fixed me and it broke me. I'm so in love with all these glorious, wonderful, colorful characters. All of them their own shade of fixed and broken. The love on these pages is real....the grief, raw and painful. My heart is splayed for all to see the bleeding going on inside it. Absolutely loved this. All. Of. It. Thank you Leesa Cross-Smith.

I remember thinking something bad was going to happen eventually because everything was so perfect. I was so happy and so in love and this is Earth. Those things don't last because they're not meant to.

He is gone and I know I will spend the rest of my life fruitlessly searching for him.
