“I finally realized that it’s possible to love within a space that sometimes holds nothing but emptiness.. or nothing but darkness. After all, we all have darkness within us. Some of us more than others.”
Told in alternating views of Jake and
Abby, this is a story of two broken souls damaged by incompetent parents. Both being
dealt with the harshness of life found each other and forged an undeniable
connection.
This book is brutal as it discusses strong
topics of abuse and rape. This is a beautiful heart breaking story of betrayal,
disappointment, forgiveness and revenge.
Jake is considered a screw up, shunned by
his parents and decided lived up to his bad reputation by doing illegal jobs.
While Abby is a strong and resilient heroine, that’s hard not to love and
respect.
I felt the pain and the hatred and the
disappointment in life. I feel for Abby, I’ve cried for her. I also wanted to
give up on her life for her. It was so hard to read not because I didn’t like
it, in fact I loved it, but because I felt that life was so unfair to her.
I still believe that the end didn't
justify the means in his case, but he truly deserved it. It was sick and
twisted but well deserved.
The book is catching and interesting and
utterly heavy but it was so hard to put down. I read it all in just a day. This
book is a standalone. This is highly recommended.
