Nadia Simonenko does tragedy right. Following up on "Lost," this book shook me to the core with the harrowing story of young Nina-turned-Irene, who loses herself and the man she loves most at seventeen. Flash forward.Nina's memory of her love for Isaac is all she has to hold onto from her past. When a new man enters her life, wealthy and blind, everything changes. Our heroine is forced to grapple with grim uncertainty, mystery, and attraction all at once. I really wish I could say more about the story, but this book deserves to be read to experience it's beautiful mysteries first hand!What kind of ride are you in for, dear reader? It's the kind that will make your heart throb for Nina's misfortune, until you're pulling for her until the very end. You'll miss Isaac like Nina, and share her shock and volatility when she meets Terrence. This book is New Adult love distilled into one powerful brew, and it packs a hard punch.In Simonenko's work, I've learned to brace myself for real young love and youthful passions in a cruel, cruel world. Not that it does any good. Her work hits hard anyway, leaving me dizzy and breathless and hoping for more!If you like your New Adult books intriguing and brimming with emotion, then read "Chasing Wishes," and then go back and read her other books. Five stars of light and darkness.
