I'm not sure how to react. My mind feels like it's on overload with all of the different things I am feeling. The story is very powerful and almost scary. Not like a horror story but the struggle of emotions is so intense and vivid I could feel the different aspects of each character that was involved. The father who is obsessively protective. The mother who is trying to help her daughter find some freedom. The roommates who have their own problems. The best friend/ex-boyfriend who loves her enough to let go and be there for her at the same time. The guy who seems to not only possess her heart, body and soul but also is able to have his way of controlling her mind just by being around. Then there is Etta. She is being pulled in by so many directions from those who care about her including herself. The only time she sees anything clearly is when she is away from Damien. Watching her struggle so intensely with how she feels and what she knows is not right is so hard to do. The biggest part of me wants for Damien to fix himself and be who she needs and there is a smaller part of me that wants Aaron to end up with her because his affection for her is healthy. It's very difficult to see what Etta and Damien share with that screaming need and not want them to work out.. I'm still struggling with my own reactions to the book. Lilliana Anderson has an amazing talent to drag someone so deep into a story that it's spellbinding. I'm so very happy she decided to share this very emotional whirlwind story and hope that more people find out about this and read it as well as any that follow. I am honored to have had the chance to get so captivated by such talent. Thank you for sharing your deepest thoughts.
