❗️THIS BOOK HAS SOME VERY HEAVY TOPICS, INCLUDING SUICIDE. PLEASE CHECK THE TRIGGER WARNINGS❗️

I was suggested this book by a friend, and I’m so glad I read it. A lot of the topics in this book, I’ve experienced, so I felt very connected to the characters. 

Piper has always been the awkward, shy girl, even now as an adult. Every day during her lunch break at work, she goes to the park to enjoy the outdoors. One day she notices a gorgeous guy with long hair, playing the guitar. Piper watches him for a distance for awhile, until she get the courage to approach him one day. She finds out his name is Evan, but his friends call him Blue. They eat lunch together that day. 

After the first day she met Blue, her lunch break was the highlight of her day. Blue doesn’t live a conventional lifestyle being homeless and living under a bridge with his dog. At first Piper isn’t sure how to feel, but she realizes it doesn’t matter, what matters is who Blue is. 

This story spans over twenty years, and shows all the good, bad, and ugly of addiction, and mental illness. There’s times I yelled at the characters because it was so hard to watch the continual heartbreak. There were other times I bawled my eyes out, because I just wanted to hold the characters and take away all their hurt. Piper is such an amazing character. So often she could have, and should have walked away, but she believed in sticking by those you love. I felt for Blue, I wanted so many times to just hold him, and let him cry. 
Their story may not be the traditional love story, but it’s a real and raw story. No relationship is perfect, and true love really does conquer all.
