The impact of Forgive Me is huge. I was literally bawling and crying and hiccupping from the enormity of the trauma I faced while reading it. You think I would be used to Melanie's writing by now, but she proved me WRONG, DEAD WRONG! The depth of the connection I have to these characters run deep and by my reaction you'd think they were real. Well they are to me. Okay lets start from the beginning.Forgive Me is about Forgiveness. All the things you think you know are only a fraction of the big picture. Sass and Shame in the first book of the TAT Series, Trust Me, are the IT couple that all the other friends aspire to be. They are in sync with each other so much that it is sickening. In this book it starts off as Sass without Shame and vice versa. Shame left Sass behind to chase his dream of rockstar status. While on the road she moves on and he is left with regrets not knowing Sass is in her own personal hell. There are many events that happen in this book that are all connected to one another and if you skim you will miss it, SO DON'T DO IT!A tragedy brings the entire group of friends together and Sass and Shame's paths cross again. They both have been living with a great amount of regret for their past actions and wish they could start off where they left off, but they can't. Their communication is lacking in a great way and it builds to the point where it is a mountain of lies, deceit, and tragedy. Sass has experienced things no one should be put through and in Shame's eyes she is his perfect storm. Perfect Storm in my opinion means she is the only person that can cause so much emotion in him that he feels unraveled. She is also a Perfect Storm because like the perfect storm she never gives up and keeps on fighting. Will Sass and Shame overcome their issues? Read it and you will find out.There are very deep issues at play in this book and it is not for the weak. The point of all of this is that through the negative there is something better. Never give up and always push through no matter what you are made to believe. I have been down this road and in no way wish it for my worst enemy because it stays with you. The twist in this book leaves you devastated and I understand it after absorbing it. You will get mad, cry your heart out, be crushed, smile, and lose it by the end of this book because I know I did.FIVE FREAKING AMAZETASTIC STARS!!!!!!
