A tangled mess. A scar-full past. A boy, a girl. Mixed feelings.
Kaitlyn Carter is a shy, girl who is scarred from her past. She is hurt, and more timid than ever. Now, she wishes in trying new and fresh, and she's been doing a good job at that since she had moved to a new high school. She has been living a normal typical life that a bright high school student would live. But.. What if her nightmares come back? What if she just can't run away, and in order to run away, she needs to leave all the things that are important to her behind-her life, her dignity, her friends, her trust, and her love? This girl can't possible get more scars etched onto her heart...or can she?
Chase Livingstone is a guy. Hm let's be specific. Chase Linvingstone is a very cliche, "popular guy" at school. He is tall, has brown hair, and blue eyes, es muy muy guapo(handsome), and almost 95% of the girls at Sparks High have or have had a crush on him. He pounces from girl to girl, but never really feels anything for them. Will he ever be able to feel what it feels like to be "in love"? Will he ever be able to find out what it would feel like to "be loved," as himself, and not for his looks, wealth, or status?
Even though I'm a mess and I still don't think I'm good enough for him, I want to date him. I haven't managed to scare him off with my panic attacks, mood swings and no touching rules so I don't think that if I tell him about what happened that night he will stop showing interest.
******
Shy, broken Chase wonders if he'll ever be able to love and trust again, if he'll ever get over the trauma of what happened, if he'll ever be happy again.
He was a content 24 year old, rooming with his fraternal twin brother Jesse. They literally could not be more different. Jesse is blonde, confident and straightforward; Chase is brunette, shy and innocent.
But when tragedy strikes, Chase becomes a shell of the man he once was and Jesse is determined to protect his twin and help him heal.
However, will it be at the cost of Jesse's own blossoming love life? Will Chase actually let Jesse help him? And will Chase finally be able to overcome his trauma and accept the love of the man of his dreams?
If healing, family and romance are themes that interest you, then this book might be for you!
WARNING some themes of depression, suicide and rape though I don't go into graphic details.
Thank you to anyone who decides to give this book a shot, I really appreciate it and I hope you'll have as much fun reading as I did writing it. All comments and opinions welcomed.
