There is such things I want to say about this book. I had the privilege of being a BETA reader for this book. And, it's the 3rd one I've done for Micalea. I honestly don't know why she needs them because she is such a talented fantastic author who puts everything into her books. It took her 5yrs to write this and I can honestly say I'm glad she did because I got to be a part of it. I know that might sound selfish but I don't care, because I am that much in love with this story and the characters in it.Caelan has had the hardest life. His life changed in high school. He sneaks out of his house and has the night of his life. He comes home to find his parents & younger sister brutally murdered. Caelan has never forgiven himself for that night. He feels that if he never snuck out of his house then he could of done something and his family wouldn't be dead now. Ever since then he's been a mess. The only thing in his life he loves is his painting.Sutton herself has her own issues. She was adopted because her family died in a house fire when she was an infant. Her adopted brother made her life a living hell. Her fiance had been cheating on her with her best friend. When she tells her parents everything about her brother & fiance nobody believes her. Sutton does the best thing for her. Packs up her car with as much stuff as it'll hold and moves away and tells nobody. Sutton plans to start over the best way she can!!Sutton & Caelan don't meet under the best circumstances. Caelan is a VERY angry person! He likes peace and quiet. Especially when he's painting!! So, when he's working on a piece and the banging coming from  the new person that just moved in across the hall. He plans to let them know from the beginning to keep it quiet. Everyone else knows, now they will. He wasn't expecting to barge in and meet Sutton.Sutton is a piece of work! She is hysterical and reminds me a lot of myself. I have been known for using my brush as a hammer a time or two. Sutton totally doesn't having  a problem doing it either. After meeting Caelan she makes it her mission to piss him off!! I personally LOVED every minute of it too. She would bang on his door before leaving the building.Caelan and Sutton literally went back and forth with pissing each other off. I would find myself laughing out loud at the things that went back & forth with these 2. While this was going on Sutton became friends with a few of the other people living on the same floor of her apartment building. She also got  a job working at a coffee shop. She met a guy named Marcus. Marcus was definitely feeling Sutton. But, the only guy who was on her mind was Caelan. Sutton makes her decision on who she wants.The back and forthness between Caelan and Sutton was hot. Eventually Caelan & Sutton give in to what they want. They get into a nice routine together. They have the hottest sex. And, for the first time in ages Caelan has felt alive. He tells Sutton his story. Sutton knows Caelan needs to face his demons to truly move on and be happy.Caelan starts to open up little by little. He started getting him clean. The drugs and drinking he was used to helping him deal with things gradually slowed down. Then, Sutton's past that she's been running from for all this time, catches up with her. She doesn't handle it good at all. Sutton takes the drastic route in the situation.Needless to say. Caelan & Sutton end up in a Romeo & Juliet situation. They realize that they are both too damaged to be together. Even though they care and love each other. They need to fix themselves before they can make it work with anybody else.Micalea did such a EXCELLENT job with this book. There was such emotions with every person in this book. Caelan & Sutton were both so damaged that you couldn't help but have your heart break. All you will want is for them to be able to heal and live the life they deserve. Especially Caelan for me.I did have the ugly cry going on. But, I also laughed so hard when Sutton was up to no good. This is definitely a book you need to read. I totally was 110% blindsided by the ending. Not that I was disappointed with it either. I actually  LOVED the ending. Micalea totally kicked ass with this story. I can not wait for the next book!!
