I was given a complimentary copy for my honest review...Abbi Jenkins suffers from depression. Her past relationship damaged her on the inside and out. She is only 18 and has went through so much more than some adults ever have to. Her only way to cope with the pain was cutting, until she ended up in an institution that reminded her not to give up on her dream of dancing in Juilliard.Blake Smith has the body of a football player but is an amazing dancer. He moved to NY from London to pursue his dream of going to Juilliard. His accent is sexy as hell and his love and compassion for Abbi makes it even better! He has his own past tormenting him. His eldest sister suffered from depression like Abbi, not for the same reasons, but still found her escape as Abbi did. Though, her end result was death."Because amidst all the chaos and heartbreak holding us together, he is my light in the dark."Abbi and Blake meet at Bianca's dance studio. Bianca helped Abbi when she was recovering and knows all about how much dance is her dream. She pairs Abbi and Blake together for a performance and things kick off from there.Once they get to know each other they slowly fall for each other. Abbi tells Blake everything and vice versa. The more Abbi dances and spends time with Blake, the more she frees herself and takes control on her depression.In the end, they both get to start their dreams all while being together.Depression is a real thing. As always, Emma Hart makes you feel deeply with the characters. Not that I need to try, because I know how Abbi has felt to a degree. It doesn't always happen that you can have something to hold on to to keep your head above the water. Depression is a daily battle, some are worse than others. Abbi is an extremely strong person to be able to fight this. She has a complete support system and a dream to keep her going.If anything, this book has given me some hope, that there are truly happy endings no matter of the struggle. I rate this book a 5 out of 5. It is a definite must read! This book can be purchased for only .99 cents until April 2nd for its release sale! <3
