I am literally and figuratively emotionally spent!!! I was truly holding my breath during the last half of this book, just trying to anticipate how it was all going to play out; feeling so anxious, I felt like I was clawing out of my own skin. My gut was shaking, fearful of the outcome, thinking the worse, yet hoping for the best, even though I really wasn't sure what I thought the best was. My emotions were all over the map; I felt connected to Addison, although I wasn't really sure if I even liked her. Grayson was a grown ass man, acting like an immature teen, yet I felt compassion and empathy for his plight. What a MESS!!!! But the irony is that I was wallowing in this mess right along with Addison and Grayson, but the weird thing about it, was I knew that all three of us were wrong in what we wanted, which was for them to be together. I felt like I was in the middle of an Agatha Christie mystery, while trying to decide if I even wanted to watch this train wreck happen because there would be collateral damage. I was vested, yet detached in this dynamic between this couple. I started playing out scenarios in my mind while reading along, feeling absolutely sure that I was going to get a Romeo/Juliet type of ending, but I knew that my Ella wouldn't be that predictable, would she???OMG, Ella, you are brilliant!!!! There was so much symbolism, and imagery in this story, which had my imagination all over the place; Ella's writing is so beautiful, and a joy to escape within. I was enveloped in the whole feel of this story, and it is a breathtaking experience. I have read and experienced each and every one of Ella's works, and trust me, she is a master. Thank you Ella for another amazing read! WOW!!!!!
