it was amazing
bookshelves: hand-to-my-heart-and-tears-falling



This guy.....Wes.....he invaded my heart! I wanted to sacrifice my heart for his !!!❤❤� I loved him !!!

"I'm going to make it so hard for you to forget this first kiss that you don't want anyone else kissing you ever again. When the guy you fall in love with kisses you- it better put this kiss to shame- if it doesn't then he isn't the right guy. Because I'm going to do a damn good job, and I want that guy that earns you, that takes that heart of yours and holds it in the palm of his hands....I want that guy to be able to make you feel things I'll just be tapping into. do you understand, Kiersten? I want the Earth to shift"


First off I want to say...
DAMN.THAT.PROLOGUE.

I'd lost the love of my life- my best friend. We hadn't been given enough time- and I hated God for taking everyone from me. I hated that in the end, I would always be alone to mourn the loss of those I loved.


yeah...that prologue....So luckily I was ready for this. I am on a personal quest of stay-with-me-forever type of books. This one delivered and then some. I totally expected to cry my heart out but in the interim....I fell in love as they fell in love. I laughed when they laughed. I lost count of the times Wes had me swooning with his ridiculously romantic gestures!

Weakness is just pain leaving the body.

My new job description is making you laugh and chasing away the bad dreams.

You think of their death as torture. I think of it as peace. I see them holding hands into the darkness, and I see them smiling.

For the first time in a year, I wanted to live- because I wanted tot spend every freaking day watching her open her eyes to the world.


I can't say too much more without giving away the whole story. This story was a lot about Faith. It was heartfelt and emotional and truly amazing.


"I can tell you have a good heart because the minute I met you, I wanted to fight for it."
"That's how you can tell when someone has a good heart? When you want to start a war?
"Nah. When you want to be the one to make it beat."


wherever I am, whatever I am doing, alive or dead, young or old, my heart will always be with yours.






10. Fall in love
11. Get heart broken
12. Fall in love anyway


So in closing I wanted to say...this book really surprised me. I have been around the block and if any of you know me, my preference is weepy-steamy reads...this book has that special place in my book heart for my PG13 squeaky-clean reads ranking up there with
Pushing the Limits (Pushing the Limits, #1) by Katie McGarry Callum & Harper (Sleepless, #1) by Fisher Amelie What I Didn't Say by Keary Taylor Slammed (Slammed, #1) by Colleen Hoover ...that made me, this self-professed puta, have a full body blush and falling in young love all over again. Just beautiful!!!!

Even though I was waiting and waiting and waiting for Wolf to pounce Lamb ;) just sayin!!!!

I'm feeling a BDB fix but Phury's book is up next and it seems to be everybody's least favorite and so I'm not too excited-I feel so traitor-ish for saying those words!! U Feel Me!!!!


Anna Phurys book was not the best but I think it was still good !!! Paynes book was actually my least favorite! On the positive side you get a lot of Z because of his link with Phury ! ❤❤� approach it that way !
