“Our scars are simply the marks of our stories. They show we’ve lived a great life, and most of all that we have survived it. Don’t hide your story away in the shadows.”
My first time reading a book by Emily Houghton and there is so many emotions that came over me while I read this inspiring story.
This story is about Alice & Alfie who have both been in two traumatic accidents. Even though Alice doesn’t want to be seen, they form a friendship behind the curtain and become the support they both surprisingly needed.
I loved this story from start to finish. It was fast pace and difficult to put down. This is a different kind of romance book, it focuses on the trauma, support and a found family as well as finding a way to fit back into reality.
There had been many moments this book brought me to tears of the realisation of what many people in real life must go through.
Alice & Alfie’s story felt real, true and more realistic than some stories. The way the author linked friendships, normality, laughter, grief, trauma, romance, support, found family and so much more into this inspiring story was so beautiful.
It’s definitely a story I recommend if you would like to read a different kind of romance book that brings all the feels 🥲 x
