Story Rating: 3 out of 5
Blurb:
Trusting and depending on others has never suited
nineteen-year-old Charlotte Cooper, who believes she’s unworthy of a happily
ever after. She’s fiercely loyal to one - her BFF Joe. Afterall, Joe’s the only
one who knows everything about Charlotte and he’s sworn to protect her heart,
and her deep dark secrets. Until Andrew Wagner walks into her life. Despite his
attempts to court Charlotte, she pushes him away, believing he can’t handle her
past shadows. After a horrible accident, she slowly learns to trust and depend
on him. As she shares her darkest secrets, he falls in love with her. Several
incidents thrust the young lovers together, and Charlotte falls hard, giving
her whole being to Andrew. While trying to be everything he can for Charlotte,
he struggles to find the balance between family, school, love and commitment.
However, their different definitions of love and what it means to love
unconditionally come to a head after Andrew spends a summer abroad and
Charlotte crosses a line. His reaction sends a devastated Charlotte into the
arms of Jack, an older man who can successfully balance what Andrew failed to
do. He puts Charlotte first, treating her like a princess while capitalizing on
her vulnerability. He gives her everything her heart desires… except Andrew.
When it comes to matters of the heart and mind, which direction do you follow?
Love or Logic?
Review includes Spoilers:
This is Charlotte Cooper’s story and as a caveat the
author isn’t done with her story by the end of this book.
There’s a lot going on here, the story opens with
her flashing back to when she first met Andrew at the age of eighteen and how
they met and several other relationships. The author takes us through Charlotte’s
dating past as well as her childhood past, both of which has abuse, including
rape. This book may be inappropriate and upsetting for sensitive readers. The
story felt like it meandered around and often lost its momentum.
This book was an okay read for me, the story didn’t
hold my attention well and I really wanted the story to be over by the end,
only to find out the story was to be continued.
