I must admit I haven't read a lot of these street type books but this one had me hooked, the emotions and the sheer chemistry between not only Elle and J but everyone was incredible, the language and terms used I must admit had me guessing but after a while I got them and was into the swing of the story and then how could she do that to us, stop where she did OMG I didn't see that coming I was so involved I didn't notice how few pages there where and I was madly swiping to get to the next and it was the there.How could you not fall for Elle, a toughie with a heart of gold, a student and a cook, and as she quotes to J "just like a ogre and an onion she has lots of layers" and we get to see more of them than anyone else as the story is all from her point of view. We go through every emotion and every change of layers with her and I love the fact because we can see how many emotions and feelings she has but if we just met her would we just judge her from appearances on one of her layers. The one quote that is seen from her walls is “Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you chose to do with them is up to you. –Richard Bach.” Now Elle has to choose what to do about J.J “I turned my head and was looking at the chest of a man leaning against the bar. My eyes crept up, and up, and up until I reached his face. High cheek bones, olive skin, exotic eyes, lips that begged to be chewed on. Holy ****, it was the giant hottie from Checks. He had jeans slung low on his hips and the same black hoodie he wore at Checks sans the vest and hat. Good God, even his hair was sexy. Dark, shiny, thick, and long” wow get a fan because this just gets hotter! all that and sensitive and thoughtful too, the bracelet and the token got me by the jacket I was gone.There are so many memorable characters in this book that I don't have time to go into them all, suffice to say that if they are in the book they have a purpose and if they gave a name you are going to remember them as they are all so well written that you can't forget.Have to love Chris the BFF and she really is one with all she has gone through and they have, both Elle and Chris know they are there for each other, definitely a case of Ho before Bro.Aaron is bought alive as is Larry, and then the teenagers from the centre. They all come together to make this a book that should not be missed even if it means stepping out of your comfort zone and reading a book, a genre you wouldn't normally this makes it worthwhile.I received a free copy for an honest review.
