Blog: [...]When I first heard about this novella I wasn't so sure about it. I mean, it’s about Brooke, the other girl in Perry’s life. Yes, that is exactly how I saw it, but at the end, I was eagerly waiting to read about Brooke and what is hiding behind that hard shell. I am really glad I got a copy of it. Veronica Rossi delivered a beautiful story (or part of it). The writing here is poetic, is heartbreaking and sweet.In this story we see a whole different side of Brooke. In the beginning, she acts rude and careless. We all know she is not a fan of Aria, but her jealousy makes her character seem so much more dark and mean. She resents the fact that Perry does not want to be emotionally or physically involved with her anymore (come on! the boy is head-over-heels over Aria). But deep inside, Brooke is hurting. She lost her best friend, lost the love of her life, her sister just go back after being held captive for a year and her and the tribe has been forced to live in a cave.Brooke is trying to move on, and wants to forget about her broken heart. She just wants to be loved and feel desired. I felt bad for her because she was hurting, and does not have anyone to confide in. I began to understand her and care for her. She is really strong, a fierce fighter and a loyal and devoted Tider. Once I got over her imperfections, I discovered a more playful and lovable Brooke. She redeemed herself and came to terms with her feelings and the people around her.I absolutely loved the story and I am glad that we were given the opportunity to get to know Brooke more deeply. V. Rossi created another amazing story. This novella brings romance, swoony boys, Perry and redemption. Brooke will make your heart softer.
