My Review
This book for me was a real eye opener and a journey between
two people with a story line I’d not really read before. This was a book about
loss, heartache, misunderstandings, but more importantly it was the rebuilding
of two people, two souls who each suffered different kinds of heartache in
their life. How can they help each other and move on when they’re both so
broken? How can they afford to love another, when they’ve both been burned and
broken in the past?
“Love is a beautiful thing. It fills you up unlike anything you’ve ever known or experienced. It can be effortless and challenging all at the same time. But what it really comes down to, I believe, is letting someone else in. Letting them see all of you.”
This is a story that entwines your emotions and thoughts
together with the book so well that you become connected with the characters. I
couldn’t put the book down. Here we have both Samantha and Ben, desperate for
love and the attention of another. Yet when it comes down to it, non are
willing to lower the walls to let someone in and take a chance. Ben’s turmoil
and grief from losing the love of his life has left him a shell of his former
self. He’s riddled with guilt and pain from what happened that he’s been a
shell of his former self. Why him? Why did he have to lose out? He doesn’t want
to go through all that pain again and so keeps everyone out. No-one has been able
to get past these barriers, but can Samantha?
“We have both been broken, and piece-by-piece were rebuilding each other.”
Samantha past relationships have revolved around cheating ex’s
and a build-up of insecurities so bad that she’s resolved to let no man into
her life. Not now, not ever. When she finally comes face-to-face with her best friend’s
brother Ben, she can’t explain these feelings inside that no one has managed to
stir for a while. Could she finally have found the right man to let in? But
what if it goes wrong again?
“It’s all you. It started with our first talk. Our first touch. Our first kiss. Our first time making love. Our first everything. Because you are my everything Sam. I want more firsts with you.”
Watching the relationship between these two grow was
beautiful. We saw each begin to lower their defences and somewhat take a chance
on one another. They want to be loved but still struggle to let each other in.
Ben starts to realise that maybe he can love again and Sam finally see’s that
not all men are the same. This book was sweet and captures your attention and
heart. There are some plot twists in the book that will have you on the edge of
your seat, but the final result is so bittersweet that their story will remain with
you long after. An absolutely beautiful tale of learning to love again, one
that I would recommend over and over. It was perfect. Can’t wait for Jack and
Jenny’s story.
“Hopefully you follow me, and, when you do, I’ll be there are the end. Standing. Waiting. Reaching out for you. Finally finding us. Finding love. Finding home.”
