I am writing this sleep deprived and full of awe. Sleep deprived because I read until my eyes couldn't handle it, slept only dreaming of this story and woke early to finish. Full of awe because it is beautiful.A story with a broken main character is like my beacon in the fog. A story full of broken characters is my dream. Pretty Instinct was a dream. From the beginning I felt so much compassion and love for each character. As I learned more about each of their souls and lives I was further drawn into their world.Liz/Lizzie/Elizabeth is feisty, sassy, beautiful, kind, loving, selfless, angry and despondent girl. She has sacrificed and cared for the men in her life. Having suffered the loss of her mother and casting blame for that and so much more on her father, she has thrown herself into a lifestyle that can only be described as running. Running from happiness, truth and being loved.All of that changes the moment she meets Cannon. A funny, kind, compassionate, talented, smart and loving man. Cannon brings all of what she is missing to Lizzie front and center. He settles himself into her world and heart while doing the same to every person in Lizzie's life.This is a story of forgiveness, friendship, love, growth and acceptance. I cannot express the amount of love I have for each of these characters and how thrilled I am to continue on the journey with each of them.5 beautiful, awestruck and grateful stars!
