*****4.5 STARS*****
Three sisters. Three stories. Three broken hearts. That’s what Symbols of Love is all about. Release gives us Lilly’s story.
I have been interested in Lilly’s story from the moment I read about her in Rise. There was something mysterious about her that had me intrigued. Let me tell y’all – Lilly’s story is heart-breaking and gut-wrenching. I cried! I’m not a crier but I had tears flowing down my cheeks during this story.
That prologue. . .oh my sweet soul. I almost died. I wasn’t ready! I wasn’t ready! Dylan Allen had me hooked from the first paragraph. You have to read it to know what I mean. It was so damn emotional.
Lilly is beautiful, raw, complex, and broken. She is everything that a woman is. We’re all a little broken if you really think about it.
Harry is handsome, caring, thoughtful, and genuine. He is everything that a woman wants in her man.
Lilly is hurting on the inside something terrible and Harry has no idea how much yet sees all the good in her that she tries to hide.
As fate continues to bring these two together, Lilly’s heart just doesn’t know what to do. Fate was also the thing that risks taking them apart.
The type of relationship they form is not an easy one. Their pasts make them a unique pair, there are so many layers to them both.
What do you do when you want to get to know someone and they don’t have the capacity to give their heart to you? – You find a way to convince them that they are worth it. You find a way to let that person know that you are there, standing and waiting. At least that’s what we hope, right?
What drew me into the story more than anything else was how broken and kind of bitchy Lilly was. Like I said, we are all a little bit broken and I can be a bitch – a sweet one, but still a bitch. I guess that’s why I wanted more than anything for her to find some peace in this crazy, fucked up world. The same world that killed so much of who was in the past.
Dylan Allen writes Release with so much passion and grace. The words bleed off of the pages, right into the readers heart.
I really hope that you will give this story a try. Release is about family, love, heartbreak and how to find yourself again after everything is taken away from you.
Do I recommend this book? Yes, I truly do.
Will I read more books by Dylan Allen? Yep! If she writes it - I will read it.
Remember to follow all things messy. . .

“You make me feel. . .perfect,” I say to him on a sigh of pure bliss.
“To me, you are,” he whispers in my ear. – Lilly/Harry
