Publication Date: March 21, 2015
Cover Design: Okay Creations
Genre: New Adult Romance


 

 

Synopsis

Imagine a social outcast: Me. (Luna)
Imagine a popular boy: Him. (Caleb)
Sound like the characters of a cliché story, right? Here, hold my hand. Come away with me. I’ll tell you my story, and you’ll decide. 
But I have a warning: Proceed at your own risk.  Since it’s a snippet of my life, I’m one of the main characters. And to put it lightly, I’m not the most likable person in the world, cue the earned label.  Also, unlike fairy tales, my story is real with a dash of sorrow and loss. 
How do I start? Once upon a time…? Shoot me now, please. 
The beginning? No, too boring.
Well, let’s start with the catalytic moment that set in motion a chain of events that changed my life, yet again.
As for a happily ever after? Sorry, no spoilers here. You’re going to have to figure that one out on your own. After you read my tale, it becomes yours, and as such, you’re entitled to your interpretation.
So, off we go! 
Fasten your seat belts. This ride may get bumpy.

AUTHOR’S NOTE: Due to strong language and graphic sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.

 

Excerpt



 

Meet the Author

I have found that there is only one thing better than reading, and that is writing. I’m always torn between the two. I’m also frequently torn between chocolate and coffee. However, I emphatically don’t like the month of February, lies, and flies. For me, bravery is defined by the courage to do what we fear the most. I live in Connecticut with my husband and two children. Drop a few lines. I would love to hear from you.

  My Review

This book drew me in with the synopsis.  After reading it, I had to read the book and I wasn’t disappointed.  This story was an emotional roller coaster.  I even ugly cried during one part.  Luna puts on this front for everyone.  She makes it seem as if she is this total badass drug dealing girl that no one should mess with.  When really she isn’t like that at all, she is totally soft and just wants to be loved and cared for by someone.  Caleb came into her life and tore down all the walls she had built up around herself before she even realized it.  He was the first person since her father died that tried to get to know her.  He wanted to know the real her, he was willing to dig through the layers so built up to get to her.  She was the crazy amazing puzzle to him.  He made her feel things she had never felt before.  She never cared what anything thought about her or said about her until Caleb.  Some parts were funny and others were so emotional.  I felt so much for Luna.  Her life went directions she never though it would.  She had these two parts of herself and after meeting Caleb she had to learn that she didn’t have to be one or the other that in some way she was both.  Caleb didn’t exactly have it easy either.  His life was pretty much planned for him since birth.  Then something happened between him and his father and he realized he didn’t want what they had planned for him.  He started to realize that he could be whoever he wanted to be.  Luna helped him realize this and gave him the push to do it without even realizing it or trying to do it.  Outside forces didn’t make their relationship easy at times.  I love them as a couple and as individuals.  I will definitely be looking for other books by this author.  I really loved this book and the characters.  I can’t say enough about the book but I don’t want to give any spoilers away.  This book is a must read and have some tissues.
