This book is HANDS DOWN one of my FAVORITE books of 2019! Yes, it isn’t a book for everyone, but it is heartbreakingly beautiful.

Bea, oh how I loved her and wanted to give her the biggest hug in the world. She isn’t a victim, she is a survivor. The things she had to endure, the pain, the threats, the heartache. I found myself crying when it came to her, my heart broke for her. Bea is strong and she is a fighter. She had a hard road to happiness, but it is happiness that she truly deserves.

Liam, he was a sweet boy who turned into an even sweater man. From the moment he meant Bea he was there for her, he was her protector. When he finds out she is the shell of the girl he once knew he does everything he can to help her, even though he didn’t know the truth behind what had happened. He is always the one to keep her safe. I loved Liam so much. Even though he was a bigshot, he didn’t act that way. He is so down to earth.

S.M. Soto wrote a beautiful story that is full of hope, full of love, full of pain and loss. It will rip your heart into a million little pieces but it will also mend your heart. It will give you hope. It will show you that despite being broken you can find your happily ever after in life.

This isn’t a sweet story, but it is a love story. This is a story that I know I will read again in the future and I know no matter how many times I read it my heart will break and I will ugly cry. Have some tissues ready when you read this book because you WILL need them.
