While this book can be read as a standalone, i might have to go back and read the other two in the series because i want to understand a bit more of Resee back story and him as a whole because he is very complex and also so reliable.
“You can love someone, give them everything you have, and still not be enough.”
There are very few triggers that stop me reading a book, and cheating or the heartbreaking events that both had to go through before meeting are not ones that could make me stop reading.
This age gap love story between two souls that have been through so much and more than one could imagine in a life of two talented music artist, is heartbroken and also full of hope.
After leaving and never wanting to go back to her school, Sarah reinvents herself and wants to go back to achieve her dream of becoming one of the best pianists and for that, she meets Resee, sixteen years older than her professor at a local school in Pennsylvania that agrees to be her teacher.
Resee doesn't believe in love anymore and he thinks that the broken pieces of his heart can't be glued back together but when he meets Sarah everything changes as the love for music that they both share will inevitably attract them to each other and even if they both live in darkness, they also find comfort and a sparkle of hope and forbidden lust and love in each other's eyes. I must admit that i didn't like Sarah all the times but in a way, it's understandable as she is still young and vulnerable and undecided.
The writing makes you want to never stop to find out how this will unfold because there are so many inner thoughts, so many insecurities and fear and trust issues and hope and heart-shattering and lust and love, all in a rollercoaster of emotions that will leave you thinking about this book for a long time after reading it.
