I did some posts for this book when it came out this winter on the blog and I was intrigued by the teasers and the dance aspect of it. Both my daughters dance so I was interested to see how dance played into the story. I bought the book on sale and finally had the chance and need to read it since I am posting and reading for the release of The Deeper We Get , book 2 in the series !! Although the details of their pasts were deeply disturbing , it was a quick heartfelt read for me and I was hooked and heartbroken very early on. I am not a fan of insta-love but then again I am an adult and not a young college student so if I think back to those days it really is not that unheard of to fall fast and hard. I am a fan of Jessica and this series , I am interested in reading some of her other books since they are in a different genre !!Becca had a horrible childhood , nightmares plague her as she starts of her college experience far from home and her little brother that she has practically raised. Her mom is a drunk and her father is in prison for the horrible things he did to them years ago. It is heartbreaking to read of her father and mothers actions but also to read of Becca stepping up to give her brother Chad all he needed , she was and is such a brave and loving sister. Becca has no desire for relationships of any kind but finds herself living with 3 other girls and making fast friends with them. She is devoted to ballet and school. Her goals hinder her social life but she does not seem to mind. That is until she meets Levi. He is not giving up on his attempts , he is willing to take any little sliver of time she has to offer !! So of course he breaks her down and she comes to realize he may be just what she needs. He falls fast and hard but Becca is holding him at arms length. Will Levi put up with this or will this be the thing that ends his patience ??Levi comes from money and has no problem spending it on Becca to help her achieve anything and to help her brother in a time of need. It may seem unrealistic but I would help those I loved if I had money so....... Levi's family is genuinely filled with great people and what they do to step in and help Becca and Chad is wonderful and if only more people could be like that !! There is much heartbreak in this book and Becca & Chad's struggles do get the best of them. Levi makes a few bad decisions and I was totally heartbroken but I do believe in the long run these are the things that help Becca heal and get to a place in life she can be happy and healthy. Thank goodness she wrote that damn letter !!I enjoyed the book , loved reading about the dancing , I hope my children have a love for dance as Becca did !! I look forward to Chad's story and to see how Becca , Levi and his family are doing !!
