Selina Bodur is a special author with a rare gift. She writes in a robust, colorful, dreamy, poetic style while always finding the perfect balance of visual and emotional storytelling. As I read this story, I found it easy to visualize the settings while feeling the roller coaster of emotions that the main character Tara Whyley experienced. Tara’s story is moving and emotional. We’ve all been there; reliving a past relationship that continually plays little videos in our mind. This is the world of Tara who tries to recover from a devastating broken heart while these memories haunt her.Sometimes love hits you with a shove; love at first sight. Sometimes love sneaks up on you and there is that moment when you finally realize what has happened to you. For Tara, it is both. Love at first sight is sneaking up on her and she doesn’t even know it.  She finally realizes it in a sudden whirlwind of passion.Parts of the story are told in flashbacks and the author holds the story together brilliantly. The romantic passages are beautifully written and will surely spark some of your own memories. In short, I loved this story and I have just purchased Bodur’s second book, The Death Of The Rose.
