The Masks We Burn by Lee Jacquot

5.0

The Masks We Burn is a stand-alone book in the Emerald Falls Series. It’s the third book, following the story of Amora and William. You can read this book on its own but for maximum reading enjoyment, I recommend reading the first two books beforehand!

We first meet Amora and William in The Masks We Wear and their first meeting was a collision of two very strong people. They don’t get along, at all, and when they are forced to fake an engagement, the walls surrounding their hearts begin to crack.

I love Lee’s writing style. These characters face real challenges and while there are tough moments to read, they preserve and survive. I also love how open Lee is with writing characters who talk to therapists and see therapists and make it normal. It’s okay to talk to someone and I love seeing this depicted in books.
