I'm fresh off a midnight shift half asleep but I had so many feelings towards this book I had to type something out. This is probably will sound more like a journal entry than a review of this book but IDC!

I remember saying how much i disliked contemporary romances how they were so boring and unbelievable and beyond mushy. So I stuck to the PNR novels, I mean if something is going to be unbelievable I wanted it to really be that. No supernatural creature is ever really out there falling in love with some extremely helpless damsel in distress. And no real person in their right mind would truly ever date some scary monster. And I liked it like that, I liked it a lot it. I like temporarily living in a world where shit like that just isn't capable of really happening to anyone ever.

Well, I am here to say I take all those thought and words back. I don't know if it was the fact that I was probably reading some horrible novels that kept me from this genre, but I take it all back. The last few weeks of finding and reading a number of different Contemporary romances has proved my every on of my thoughts WRONG. This particular genre takes me to places I feel I need to go make me feel things I need to feel. I've felt more feels for characters in this genre than I have for characters in any other genre. I think it's because the books give me reality, something I need. These stories can actually be real stories that happen to real people. I connect in a way characters male and female that somehow bring back memories from my past or wishes for my future and Well I just don't know.

Okay… Enough of my sad sob story, you're here for this particular book review…

Colleen tore me apart and somehow put me together with this story. I didn't know I could be shocked, scared, awed and in love at the same time. I cried more times than I care to think about. I cried while at work while at home. I even cried while in the car driving home because I stopped at a seriously intense part of the book and had to end work and come home, because I wouldn't have actually minded if my relief would've come late I would've gladly sat and read and ignored my patient to continue reading along.

Sky… Sky was honestly my favorite protagonist. Despite what I can't divulge about her she's not one of those girls who takes people shit. She's not annoyingly self-conscience or dumb by any means. I mean there were moments I was thinking "NO, don't do that" but I actually feel like everything that happened needed to happen. It hurts what happens, I'd never wish that on anyone but her story needed to be told... Holder, (I just Can't!) He was perfection, I mean absolute fucking perfection everything you fall for in a boyfriend, I mean a book boyfriend because he can't be real this guys is not loosely based off of anyone that any person has ever come in to contact with. I just refuse to believe he is. I would be beyond jealous of anyone who actually has a "Holder". He says and does all the right things. He even knows when not to say things. He pissing you off and then completely ruins you life with his apologies to win you back ( BTW I say ruin in a good way ). Gah!I have to stop or I'll spoil this for people (I feel, what's the equivalent of word vomit for typing? Whatever it is I'm close to doing it) I just want to sit up and discuss this with someone, anyone this book just ruined me I'm not sure what else to say.

This book deserves every last one of those damn stars. {Devastating, but Heart-achingly beautiful}
