This was one of those reads that you end up immersed in the world and
time passes and you don't realize it has. Mina and Ever fascinated me, they
drew me into their thoughts, their feelings, and even when they weren't on
the same wavelength, I could agree with both of them for what they did and
why The story starts in the now, and quickly moves to the then. We get
the entire relationship, from when they met, until the ultimate demise, 6
years ago. This is the bulk of the book, and it is heartbreaking from the
start. As much as I sometimes don't like second chance stories, this one was
so appropriate as the characters needed time to grow up, find themselves, and
mature. As we work through Mina and Ever's point of view, they are less than
honest with the other about the fears, thoughts, and feelings they have. Mina
tries at times, but Ever is so determined that he knows, that he really
doesn't look any further than the surface. He doesn't share, he doesn't dig,
and he isn't honest about himself. Mina hides as well, her fear, her
insecurities, and her worries. While both characters are devoted and in love with each other, they
live what they think the other wants and aren't true to themselves. This
works for a while, but them it all implodes spectacularily. While Mina takes
stock of her life, and learns from her mistakes, Ever stews and bemoans that
she left and broke his heart. When Mina returns, there is no doubt who has
re-evaluated things and who is stuck in the past But the
care is still there, the feelings are still there, and these are both
experienced, mature, adults now. Ever quickly sees his part in the failure of
their previous relationship, and Mina has learned to speak when things are
troubling her. Even with the obstacles in the way, they find themselves, and
realize that this is a new beginning for them, and they will get their HEA |
