What does it take to rise from life’s depths, swim against the current, and breathe?
Weighted down by the loss of her parents, Blythe McGuire struggles to keep her head above water as she trudges through her last year at Matthews College. Then a chance meeting sends Blythe crashing into something she doesn’t expect—an undeniable attraction to a dark-haired senior named Chris Shepherd, whose past may be even more complicated than her own. As their relationship deepens, Chris pulls Blythe out of the stupor she’s been in since the night a fire took half her family. She begins to heal, and even, haltingly, to love this guy who helps her find new paths to pleasure and self-discovery. But as Blythe moves into calmer waters, she realizes Chris is the one still strangled by his family’s traumatic history. As dark currents threaten to pull him under, Blythe may be the only person who can keep him from drowning.
That was one intense read through and through. I did not expect to like it as much as I did but damn, if it didn't hook me in! Check out the blurb:

If I had any fears about this book not living up to my expectations, they were all erased right from the start. Check out the blurb: I can’t remember the last time I felt completely safe. Security seemed more like a luxury to me, reserved for those who were fortunate enough to have picture perfect childhoods. For those who didn’t bear the ugly scars that keep me bound in constant, debilitating fear. I’ve run from that fear my entire life. But when I met him, for once, I couldn’t run anymore. This book ranks way up there as one of the most beautiful, heart-wrenching stories I have ever read. It hooked me right from the beginning and didn't stop sinking it's clutch on my heart until the very last page. “If you’re broken, I’ll fix you…” I really enjoyed reading this one! Blurb: Nikolai Leokov never thought he'd fall in love with the only girl he's ever befriended. There comes a time when you encounter a book that is so relevant and expertly written that you can't help but to love it. My name is Tate. He doesn't call me that, though. He would never refer to me so informally, if he referred to me at all. No, he'll barely even speak to me. I just fell absolutely in love with this book. Blurb: Can a guilty conscience keep wounds from healing? Colleen Hoover definitely knocked this one out of the park. Blurb right here: There are two sides to every love story. Now hear Will’s. Holy fucking shit, that's one dark book. I don't even know where to start this review. I don't even know if I can really come up with an honest-to-goodness review, so pardon me if this turns out to be a word vomit of my rants. Anyway, first things first. Blurb: Besieged by memories of a brutal abduction, Claire Nichols wakes in an unfamiliar bedroom, within a luxurious mansion. Her recollections have one common denominator, the man she just met, Anthony Rawlings. |
