This was an epic love story about two young, incredibly poor children that grew up in the Appalachian mountains of Virginia, in families where physical and mental abuse was the norm. Eventually, Jimmy Crawford and Lila Robbie escape their purgatory and try to make something of their lives. Jimmy becomes James, an A list actor and Lilah is the next 'it' girl model. But Lila has demons that haunt her and only self medicating helps numb the pain. Jimmy is the only one who can calm those demons and this leads to a pattern of love, hate repeat that is incredibly self destructive. After yet another self destructive binge, Lila heads to rehab to get clean and give her and Jimmy a chance. Once Jimmy and Lila are officially a couple, one cataclysmic mistake changes the course of their lives forever.
PART TWO - SIX YEARS LATER
After Jimmy cuts Lilah out of his life, he moves on with his life, gets engaged and wedding preparations are in full swing for the A list wedding of the year, when Jimmy sees Lilah on TV. Knowing he cannot marry his fiancee without banishing the demons of Lilah, Jimmy sets out to find her and put that part of his life behind him. What greets him when he confronts Lilah, will change everything once again.
This book is amazing, it is well written and flows beautifully. It brings the characters of Jimmy and Lilah to life, makes you feel their pain and that makes you invested in their lives and their happiness. This is a must read!!!
