Escape the Doubt is a book that will pull on your heart strings. Very heartwarming most of the time but also heartbreaking. You are instantly sucked into this story, or that how it was for me anyway. Riley and Josh have the sweetest love imaginable, they just can’t seem to get on the same page. Riley can’t seem to let go of the fact that her father’s drunk driving killed himself and Josh’s mother. She shoulders all the blame on herself even though no one blames her and has even forgiven what happen. She can’t seem to shake the feeling that Josh will always, whether they’re together or stay best friends, look at her as the daughter of the man who killed his mother. Which is totally NOT the case. Josh has loved her since they were kids and she him. They have always been best friends and always there for each other. She also has a crippling fear of abandonment and severe trust issues thanks to her parents relationship. Like I said, they just can’t seem to get on the same page. They are either in a relationship with someone else or crazy circumstances keep popping up. When they finally do sit and talk about their shared feelings you get so excited only to be let down. Riley’s worst fears come true and she runs, she shuts down and lets her heart close off and turn black. It’s up to Josh to fix the mistakes she thinks he’s made but she is hell bent on not seeing or speaking to him. Can their love find a way to fix the broken?Such a good book! I read the whole thing within a matter of hours, I could not put it down. It had me smiling like a fool, cussing like a sailor and at times and it felt like I had a million butterflies swirling around in my stomach. I can’t wait to read the next book in the Shifting series. I recommend this book to readers 17+ I give Escape the Doubt 5 well-earned stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
