I cannot even express how unbelievably beautiful this book is!

 

Sydney, of sweet and strong Sydney, she took my heart and she can gladly have it. So strong, so determined, so knocked down, set aside, and disregarded at every step for most of her life, yet, still hopeful, willing to live her best life, and giving with her heart and soul. Sydney is an empath, it is so clear, and even when her battery is empty, she gives what little she has for others. She is no pushover, she stands up for herself, but that she has learned to expect so little from others caused a physical ache in me.

 

Cole was, quite simply, heartbreaking. His path to this point was overwhelming, and understandably so. His reactions were normal, expected, and not anything that I help against him. For Cole, coming to the realization of where he is in life, and where he is ready to go in life, is full of pain, remembrance, and love. He has been in self-survival mode so long, coming out of that is not easy, or even something he wants to do. For every bit of progress he thinks he makes, he has two setbacks.

 

With the love and support of each other, their friends, their family, and unintentionally, those who do not support them, these two weave a tale with many tears, a few laughs, an undeniably attraction, and love that grows and has a life of its’ own, which is exactly how they needed and wanted it to do. Simply a stunning love story of overcoming loss and finding your path in life
