Rating: 4 out of 5

“How do you get through to someone who doesn’t want you to get to them? How do you save someone who doesn’t want to be saved?”This was a tough read for me. I love Jessica Sorensen books, but this one was darker and grittier than her others. It was a well written. The character development was strong and realistic.I struggled with the storyline. I try not to judge the characters’ actions when reading, but it was hard for me to get past the idea of giving up your life to save someone who doesn't want to be saved. I suppose it's admirable. It was touching, really, but it was still hard to read.I loved Quinton’s character. I was drawn to him from the first page. He was damaged beyond repair when we are reintroduced to him in this one. His inner monologues are my favorite parts of the book. Knowing how he saw things was almost beautiful at times.This story will take you on an emotional roller coaster. It is heavy and raw and will tear you apart. I give a huge amount of credit to any book that can elicit that kind of emotion.“I need to know, Lea, I need to know what happened to the guy that made me feel things again…”Overall, I give this book 3.5 stars and despite the topic at hand would recommend a hard apple cider. Keeping it light and easy while reading a dark and gritty story.This book was generously offered in exchange for an honest review.Read our other reviews and book/drink pairings at [...]
