Thorns Between Us

𝓐𝓾𝓽𝓱𝓸𝓻𝓼 𝓷𝓸𝓽𝓮

Hello everyone,

My name is Lexie Monet, and this book is incredibly special to me. It was unexpected for it to be published—truthfully, I didn't even expect to write it. But sometimes, love gives us experiences that can't always be justified or understood simply by living through them. They need to be shared—or, in my case, written. 

I've learned many lessons, especially when it comes to love and heartbreak. With every ounce of hurt comes great obstacles and invaluable wisdom. One of the hardest lessons I've faced isn't just being hurt by someone—it's learning how to force yourself to let  go of someone  still long for. The hardest part isn't the pain itself, but being  successfully with  it and finding a way to move forward while still missing them, even when every part of you  craves their presence.

This book is my attempt to capture that kind of love—the kind that is equal parts beautiful and devastating. I hope it resonates with those who have loved deeply, hurt profoundly, and found their way through the chaos. Love has a way of teaching us things we never thought we'd learn and opening our eyes in ways we didn't think possible.

If I hadn't gone through such a painful time, I wouldn't be the person I am today, and for that, I am strangely grateful. This story was written with Tears and Blood . I hope it speaks to you and reminds you that even in the hardest moments, there is growth, strength, and light to be found.

A good part of this book is based on events and encounters I've experienced personally. Writing it has been a form of healing for me, so I ask that you please be gentle with your judgments. This story isn't all beauty and sunflowers—it's the reality of A Rose Being Betrayed by Her Own Thorns.

I hope you enjoy this book, and if you do, please consider leaving a comment, like, or vote—it means so much to me.

To anyone who may be in a bad or toxic relationship, here's a piece of advice that helped me and others:

"Would you want your daughter, sister, mother, brother, or son to stay in a relationship exactly like yours?"

Trust Your Gut: If something feels wrong, it likely is. Your intuition is powerful—don't ignore it.
Boundaries Aren't Selfish: Setting boundaries is an act of self-care, not selfishness.
Make the Decision: No one else can make it for you, but your future self will thank you for it.

I've experienced extreme loneliness during times of need—moments when I was at my lowest, mentally and emotionally. I was in such a bad place, and I didn't have anyone but God and myself to lean on. Looking back, I realize how much even one person could have changed those moments for me. But through it all, I grew and learned.

Apologies for getting off track, but mental health—especially in relationships—is something I'm deeply passionate about. I hope you all take care of yours.

remember, no matter how dark it feels now, there is always light ahead. You are stronger than you think, and you deserve all the love and happiness life has to offer."

Without further ado, please enjoy this book. Thank you for being here. 💕
