I absolutely adored this story. It was beautiful, inspirational and swoony.

I LOVE Sadie. I love her strength. I love that she knew that she wasn’t in a good situation and took the actions to get herself out of it and protect herself. Yet, despite being put down continuously I love that she was still a bright light. Sean deserves the boyfriend of the year award. He is protective, caring, sweet, and patient when it comes to Sadie. I absolutely loved him from the very start until the very end.

Sean and Sadie’s friendship was amazing. Their chemistry is fantastic. I love that neither of them rushed into anything further with each other despite the insane amount of chemistry that was between them from the moment they met. Their relationship felt like a natural progression and was just perfect for the two of them.

On a side note, Lauren is literally my favorite person ever and I just want to be best friends with her.

This story does deal with topics and situations that may be difficult for some to read so please read the warnings before continuing with the story. I will say the way these topics were handled was done in a graceful way.
