I absolutely loved reading this
novel. I was sucked into the life of an author and I couldn’t stop reading
until I finished. Everything about Aislin is a breath of fresh air. She is
smart, witty, sassy, and utterly beautiful. I knew instantly something bad had
happened to her. I wanted to know what that was so I could understand her
better. I didn’t know why she hid herself from the world for 12 years. I didn’t
understand why she only had a handful of friends she trusted. I couldn’t wait
to find out what happened. Just knowing she survived and was putting her fears
aside made me love her all the more.
Taylor was very interesting to
read about. Of course he was a hot actor, but that isn’t all he is. He is smart
as well, kind, and gentle. He is the life of the party along with his best
friend Chase( who had me hysterically laughing every time he opened his mouth).
I loved Taylor. He was a great strong character that Aislin needed. The first
meeting between the two was kind of awkward, but it was super sweet at the same
time. I was rooting the whole time for them to take the next step in their
relationship. I knew Taylor also had a past that he couldn’t let go of, and
they both were afraid of getting hurt.
But when Aislin takes the huge
step and tells her story, I was devastated for her. The things she went through
over nothing left me in a ball of emotions that I didn’t know how to work
through. I cried, I got angry, and I had to walk away for a bit from the story.
The emotions this author brought out of me was crazy! I rarely get mad at
things that happen in a book, but this time, I wanted to go into the book world
and hurt the person that hurt Aislin the way they did. I am still a ball of
emotions even after reading this book a day ago.
This novel sends a powerful
message. Aislin is a sweet girl. Just because she was a different race and was
so beautiful, people treated her differently. I really would like to meet this
author one day. If only just to tell her how amazingly written this novel was.
Or even to shake her hand and tell her how much this book affected me. I highly
recommend reading this novel. I can promise you now, you will not regret it. I
loved it and I look forward to many more books written by this author.
ok. I will have to give this one a whirl. Sounds promising :)
