The Coincidence of Callie & Kayden by Jessica Sorensen
5.0
I put off reading this book for months after I heard there was a huge CH. So happy, I did not have to wait 6+ months to read the next book.
This book is heart wrenching! Often times in NA, you see one of the main characters battling demons. Not this one; both Callie and Kayden are attempting to conquer life altering events that they have blocked out and ignored for years. I was stressed from the first page, to the last! In fact, I have not been in such turmoil since the first book of the Breathing Series. My heart ached for both of them. Amazingly, together they seem to fit and are able to cope and even begin to flourish. However, making changes in life are nearly impossible for these two given all the hurt and suffering they have endured. The story is told from both POVs and I feel it adds so much depth into what each of them are really thinking. The supporting characters are superb! I don't think the story would not have been near as powerful without Seth and Luke.
I can't wait to start book 2 to see what happens to their story. My heart was completely in my throat!
Favorite Quotes:
It's amazing how the things you remember forever are the things you'd rather forget and the things you desperately want to grasp onto seem to slip away like sand in the wind.
"In the existence of our lives, there is a single coincidence that brings us together and for a moment, our hearts beat as one."
There is something about someone trusting you enough with their secrets that it makes it easier to trust them. It's like they're opening their heart and in return yours should be open up to them, too.
