4-4.5 StarsWhat a sweet angsty storyI've actually read the whole book until this morning 4am, in 1 session, including the prequel - yeah I got 3hrs of sleep. I can honestly say that besides Jennifer L. Armentrout, Ilsa's young MC I'll def continue to read. I really enjoyed them :) Make sure you read my review for the prequel, Very Wicked Beginnings first!Ooooh Cuba, what have you done? Why did you hurt our girl like this? It's not always the right choice pushing the people away who could actually help holding you together, keep and cherish your hope and love.It's easy to say -Cuba messed up. Messed up big times and shattered Dovey's heart; hurt her and humiliated her for what? To protect her...or so he thought. After guarding her heart for so long, she finally gave it to him to just have it broken by Cuba -the young man that talked about love and never wanting to let her go.It was a tough year for Dovey trying to ignore the one person she can't forget; the one person she knew she couldn't forget; the one person that hold all the answers but never told her why.Cuba shut her out one day of the other and she had no clue why. But according to his mind - his weird working mind- he knew why and he thought it was the right choice. No matter if it meant he'd suffer, too. And oh boy, did he hurt.How are you suppose to forget or ignore the one person that made your world seem right? made your world complete? Gave you hope and strength? ...you can't, and Cuba found it out the bittersweet way.One unfortunate day he couldn't hold it back anymore and his well-build wall broke down. He had to have her. He had to make her his again.But did she want him back, too? After a year of heartache? A year where he treated her like the last person on earth? ...she didn't know.Because not only tried Cuba to snake his way back into her life, no, her best friend declared his love her, too. To top it off, her past came back smacking her right in the face in a very bitter way.What will Dovey do? Who will she choose and which decisions will she make to fulfill her dream of becoming a ballerina.What a story!! I was hooked and couldn't get enough. Angst, drama, heartache, pain, hope, and love - I felt it all. Ilsa wrote a great standalone sequel telling the continuous story of Cuba and Dovey, 2 people who couldn't be any different but knew they were meant to be.Thankfully, karma had other plans!I'm ready for book 3 -maybe Sebastian's story?? *grin
