Regardless of the things wrong with WTC, I still thought this book was amazing and a must read. My heart just ached for Jacen and Liam. These characters are so scared and damaged it's so moving to see them come out on the other end as survivors. I wanted to cry along with them, wrap my arms around them in comfort when they were hurting and cheer them on as they fight their way to a better life.This is a dark and gritty story about the abuses in life and the beat down of ones inner spirit and self worth. But boy does the ending leave a warm feeling to know there can be triumph, healing and happiness after all the pain.WTC could easily have been a five star read for me had it not been for all the jarring changes in POV. I found it irritating at times to be reading about someone's thoughts to only have the other person say something where it didn't belong. I had to reread paragraphs several times just to figure out who said what because of the swift changes in POV. The authors writing was not as smooth as it could have been and there was too much telling and not showing. I felt like someone was telling me the story instead of me watching it happen. For those issues alone I had to knock off one star, reluctantly. Don't let that stop you however from reading about two memorable characters, characters I absolutely love.Don't miss this heart wrenching story. I think you'll come to love Liam and Jacen as much as I did.
