5.0

I was about 50% into this book and knew this was my another 5-star reading. I felt it in my bones and in my chest because this book was written so wonderfully that I felt every emotion that I was and maybe even wasn't supposed to feel. I think, that every book that made you feel so much deserves all the gratitude. And let's be honest, not every author can draw you so deeply into the story, into the world they created. Sara Amanda did an excellent job and I am so grateful, that I had a chance to read this book even though it broke my heart and soul a little, I loved it.
 
This wasn't the typical lighthearted romance, there was a lot of pain, sadness and hard moments, but there was also a beautiful love story going hand in hand with all that. 
When I started to read it, I expected it to be a lot like Culpa Mia from Mercedes Ron (I liked the whole series and love the movies) but this was much much better. I remember that at the very beginning of this book, there is a note, that the main characters are very young and some of their decisions will be immature but I didn't feel like it was. I mean, maybe I am the one still immature but I had the feeling that they are both more mature than they should be in their age and I really enjoyed my time with them during the reading. 

I feel like I am again in that stage when I want to say a lot because I fell in love with this story, but at the same time I don't want to say anything that might spoil anything to others, so I am going to stop myself. If you love forbidden romances and are not afraid of going through lots of emotions (and are okay with trigger warnings mentioned at the beginning of the book) then you should definitely read this book. 
Can't wait for the second one!
