This was a heartbreaking yet triumphant story, all rolled up into one. Dealing with some heavy issues that unfortunately happen in today’s society with teens, you get a glimpse into the life of one particular girl, and the struggles she goes through on a daily basis.Zar is a senior in high school, who’s been keeping some major secrets from her family, because she’s felt somewhat like the black sheep for years now. She feels if she talks to them about what’s been going on with her, they’d somehow look at her differently, and that’s something she doesn’t want.She’s been a loner for so long, she doesn’t quite know how to react when she goes into a pizzeria one day, and spots a guy she has an instant attraction to. It’s such a change of behavior for her, she feels overwhelmed. After that first “meeting”, she can’t get him out of her mind, and it so happens the feeling is mutual. The guy turns out to be her brother’s fiancé’s younger brother, Loudon.Zar and Loudon become instantly attached, and Loudon finds out there’s a lot more to her than she shares with anyone. He wants to know her secrets and help her anyway he can, but she’s scared to let him in. I love the fact that he cares about her so much, and has the “won’t give up on you” attitude; it’s super sweet!She finally realizes that there are people that truly care for her, and she slowly opens up to them. People can be cruel sometimes, and this is a story of fighting your way back from those situations. It just shows you that sometimes love can conquer all!
