"I'll follow you anywhere."

This was good, you guys! REALLY good!

Plot in a nutshell: After a traumatic childhood and an even more traumatic event at 13, Eva ends up living on the streets. A year later, through a twist of fate, she's adopted into an affluent, but messed up family . . . where she meets her very aloof stepbrother, Easton.

The story begins three years later with Eva drowning in shame and self-destructive behavior, and carrying a torch for her forbidden stepbrother.

I'm not a good person. I haven't earned a good life. But Easton isn't like me. He's good and genuine, and he deserves so much more than what his parents offer him.

But Eva isn't alone in her feelings, they also torture Easton.

I know it's sick, this fixation I have on her. It's fucking exhausting too.

These two were pretty great together! Dancing around each other, pushing, prodding at the boundaries . . . and I loved the way the story unfolded, with the author giving the reader little pieces until the complete picture came into view.

I saw her that night, really fucking saw her, and no matter how many Solo cups or strangers' hands she hides behind, I'll always see her.

You'll need to be careful with this one; there are quite a few TRIGGERS. (view spoiler)[child rape, sexual abuse, self-destructive behavior, child prostitution, graphic violence (hide spoiler)] In fact, much of this heartbreaking story centers around Eva's journey toward self love and care . . .

That slippery word - deserving - cloaks me in silk, its texture soothing and desirable.

. . . and Easton's role in her life.

"You always have a choice."

Gah, there were so many incredible scenes in Liar Liar, scenes that will have your emotions at a full boil. The writing was incredible throughout.

I can't round up though because I felt that under all the emotion, there were aspects of the story that didn't quite add up. But that's just me and my fixation on the small details. I'm sure the vast majority of you will LOVE this! I highly recommend.
