♪ His favourite colour to hear is Violet Blue and her voice was Violet Blue ♪ 


This is a big read the trigger warnings kind of book.  I wasn't prepared for some of what came. 

This book was heartbreaking to put it frankly. I knew this was going to be a sad book going into it but I honestly wasn't prepared for how truly heartbreaking it was. Although it would be considered a HEA it really wasn't for me. My heart broke for all of the characters involved in this story. As the MFC I don't know how I would feel going on with my life post what she went through. 

I found the concepts and description of synesthesia to be very interesting. 

At times I felt that there were too many 'problems' happening at once. They then weren't really fleshed out to give you all the answers you wanted. 

It took me about 100 pages to get into the book. The first 100 pages were quite different to follow and were honestly not hooking me at all. The writing improved a lot as the book went on. However, at around 100 pages I was intrigued and couldn't put the book down. 

Would I read it again? probably not but I'm not disappointed that I did read it. Overall it was a 3 star book for me.
