This book. I fell in love with Peyton and Xander. They were both so broken and lost. Their story was full of so much pain, emotion and hope.

Peyton has experienced more than anyone should by the time they her age. Now, she lost her mother in a way that deeply hurt her. Her entire world was shattered and she just didn’t know what to do. Xander’s world was shattered a long time ago, but he never recovered. There is still guilt that he carries around after all these years. One fateful night brough these two people together when they needed it most, but will they be able to save each other?

I absolutely loved Peyton and Xander. They shared a connection that very few people would ever understand. However, there is so much more to them than just their shared broken pasts. Their journey isn’t easy. It is heartbreaking, it is raw and it is emotional, but there is also a beauty in it.

If you’re looking for an angsty, forbidden, age gap romance this is one to check out.
