A story about broken beings finding a wholeness within each other. True this story will not be for everyone but for me personally it helped find some peace and realize how grateful and blessed I am to have found my own other half. The girl in the story has been been broken and just finding herself within the pieces that are left and the man has been hardened but is able to find some softness within himself because of her. I think when your are left with only pieces and know that you carry scars inside and out you begin to analyze more of your own actions and wonder the whys of what you do, what you like, what your fears are and sometimes the answers can make you bitter and angry; feeling still trapped even after being freed. I loved how this author explored that and reinforced that their actions, likes and fears could be their normal because they explored them together and were so accepting of one another. This kind of empathy, acceptance and love seems so rare in today's time it was refreshing to read about even if it's just fiction. I don't think many will be able to peel away the layers within these pages and might not fully grasp the depth of the story, and if taken at face value may not truly enjoy the read, but for those of us that can it is and was a jewel of a read.
