“Love can be an epic tale or a dark tragedy. Our choices will shape the outcome. Sometimes, in order to fix what has been broken, one must make the greatest sacrifice and shatter it all.”

this book feels like being slapped around with someone that has a bunch of heavy duty rings on. also a LOT of whiplash. HOLY FUCK.
at one point this book had me viscerally screaming into my pillow. that’s the first time a book has made me do that. i’ve laughed out loud, ive cried, ive squealed… but screaming into my pillow is a new one! 
their love story is not an easy one.
