The Fire Between High & Lo by Brittainy C. Cherry

5.0

Brittainy Cherry has a way of breaking your heart and piecing it back together in the most beautiful, agonizing way—and The Fire Between High & Lo is no exception. This book is an emotional rollercoaster, drenched in heartbreak, addiction, love, and the undeniable pull of two souls meant for each other but constantly torn apart.

Logan and Alyssa are as different as fire and water, yet their connection is magnetic. Logan comes from a broken home, a boy crushed under the weight of his mother’s addiction and his own battle with self-destruction. Alyssa is his light, his safe place—the girl who sees beyond his jagged edges. But love isn’t always enough to heal someone drowning in their demons, and Logan’s journey is one that will shatter your heart into pieces.

Cherry doesn’t just tell a love story; she pulls you deep into the raw, painful realities of addiction and self-worth. There are moments in this book that physically ache—when Logan pushes Alyssa away, when she fights for him despite the wreckage, and when fate cruelly rips them apart. The pain is visceral, but so is the love, the longing, and the desperate hope that somehow, someway, they’ll find their way back to each other.

What makes this story so powerful is its honesty. Love isn’t always easy. It doesn’t always fix everything. But Cherry reminds us that love—real, enduring love—has the power to heal, even if the journey is messy and filled with mistakes.

The ending left me breathless, tears streaming down my face, both wrecked and full of hope. If you love deeply emotional, beautifully written, and utterly unforgettable love stories, The Fire Between High & Lo is a must-read. But be warned: this book will stay with you long after you turn the last page.
