I knew I loved pretty much everything about Jessica Sorensen but "The Destiny of Violet and Luke" totally sealed the deal. Yes, she delivered another ridiculously painful cliffhanger but the delivery is oh so so good.Following in her "Coincidence" theme, these characters aren't just broken. They're put in a blender, cut into a millions pieces, drowned you in a tub of vodka, need an entire box of tissues crushed. Everything that you have come to love about Jessica is wrapped up in this beautiful story - twists that you never saw coming, beautiful characters filled with so much hurt and pain and the detail...that's what always gets me. Jessica is so detailed in her descriptions, she makes you feel every emotion she writes.I don't want to tell you too much about the book because I think this is one you have to experience yourself. Our main characters, Violet and Luke, struggle every day with the backlash of horrendous childhoods. We've got glimpses of them both in Callie and Kayden's story (BTW, they make appearances along with Seth & Grayson!) but now we really get to find out about their strange behavior. The way their standoffish behavior ends up drawing them into one another, forcing feelings so foreign to either of them, you just cheer that maybe, just maybe, they'll get their happily ever after.
