Fate is crazy.It's kind of ironic that that's the first thing I thought of while starting this review.Rhane Evans seemingly has it all. She is the lead singer of the up and coming band, Fate's Crazy, along with her boyfriend, Dalton, and their friends Ronnie and Donnie. Fate has a way of stepping in and changing your life when you least expect it.Six months ago I was on top of the world, living the dream. I was the lead singer for Fate's Crazy. Living, breathing, being with Dalton. My soul mate. What I've become now is a broken twenty-three-year old, barely able to speak above a whisper. An out of work woman mourning the death of the only man I've ever loved.Rhane is blamed for the accident that took Dalton's life but she can't remember what happened. All she knows is that Dalton was driving and that she was in the passenger seat. After an extensive hospital stay, which consists of multiple surgeries, Rhane is discharged from the hospital. Her Uncle Thomas, T, takes her under his wing and brings her to her new home where she will live with her "caretaker", Gwen.Nightmares of the past haunt Rhane. She's angry and lost over losing Dalton and bitter over losing her voice that defined her for so long.Enter Ian Callahan. Ian was hired by T to do some construction work around Rhane's house. He allows us to see a side of her that I was missing in the beginning of the book. He humanizes Rhane. He makes her laugh, he makes her smile, he makes her FEEL.With help from T, Gwen, Ian, Emmy, a mother dog and her puppies, and her grandmother's old piano Rhane's road to healing is still hard but with their support she's able to face her battles with their support...whether she wants it or not.I really enjoyed this book however at first I was not a huge fan of Rhane. In the first few chapters to be honest I thought she was a bitch. I really didn't think I'd like her at all and I sort of dreaded reading this BUT once she had several interactions with T, Ian, & little Emmy I felt myself starting to soften towards her.My only complaint in the end was that there where several questions I still had and a few "loose ends" I wanted tied up. That being said it was a good story.I was given an ARC for an honest review.
