This book grabs you very quickly. Not within the first few pages, but unexpectedly by the end of the second chapter. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I have enjoyed all of Jessica Sorenson's novels because the characters are always broken and struggling with demons that are so burdensome. Yet she finds a way to make their fight seem so tangible and real. Nova and Quinten are no exceptions. Both characters are connected without knowing how or why because of how much loss each has suffered in their very short lives. They seek solace in patterns of destruction because it quiets the noise raging inside of them. I love that Jessica Sorenson uses such an unconventional path for her characters rather than following a trite and formulaic storyline. The cliffhanger is not bothersome, in fact I think it is a welcome trademark to her stories. Readers who enjoyed 'Callie and Kayden' and 'Ella and Micha' will appreciate Nova and Quinten's journey and look forward to the next book in the Nova series.
