ARC received for an honest review

This book! I mean, this book! I was a wreck from the prologue, and Ms Sivec had me on edge for the rest of the whole darn book.

The Story of Us had all the feels. I wanted to jump into the book and save Eli, I wanted to jump in and hug Shelby, and I wanted to jump in and b!tch slap the crap out of Shelby's mother - grrr she makes me made just thinking of her.

I am a fan of a second chance romance, however through in the hurdles that our lovelies have to face and I am in love. I loved the hurt, the fear, the pain, the helplessness.


There is a great sense of hopelessness throughout the story that had me in tears over and over again - though as I say that, there is so much hope. Gah, serious emotional overload from the first word to the last.

I love love loved seeing Shelby and Eli come out of the shells they have been stuck in, seeing their fight come back to them.

Giving a big middle finger to those that wanted the apart.

I don't know how to put my thoughts into words to do this book justice.

So buy it. Read it. You won't be disappointed.
