***POSSIBLE SPOILERS
PRESENT WITHIN REVIEW***
What
a wonderful wonderful novel! This one will touch your very soul. I could
totally feel the love. Don’t read this late into the night, though, because
when you finish it you won’t be able to sleep. It’s that remarkable! Words just
fail to come as I struggle to write my review because it so affected me. Just
read it and you will experience such a beautiful romance. It’s amazing!! And,
very powerful!! The characters. The storyline. The climax. You will be a
blubbering idiot! I wish I knew that there was another book after this one. It’s
not so much that there is a cliffhanger, but there’s more to the story than
just this first book, and I can’t wait wait to read the second one.
When
beginning this book, I just thought that it was going to be another deliquent
rockstar book. But, when digging deeper into it, I realized that there was just
so much more to this story. It’s intense and intimate. Heartbreaking and real.
Raw and complex. And, the characters?? So vibrant and exposed. Their vulnerability
evident as truths are revealed and brought to life. But, there’s also sadness
and pain. The pain from all is obvious when time is running out. It’s slipping
away. And, they all need more time. Time to deal with the reality of it all.
Oh, wow! It’s agonizing to read! These individuals who are losing control. Pining
for a miracle that just isn’t going to happen. I could actually feel it. The
writing was so superb that I couldn’t help but feel the sadness. The undying
love. And, the rockstar part of the story is just the undertone to a beautiful
romance that takes the couple out of their comfort zones. Both main characters
find that there’s so much more to life as they open themselves up to other
possibilities – even if it’s for a short period of time. Live a little. Love a
little. Explore a little. It can be so self-satisfying. Even if it’s
tormenting.
But,
it’s also a story about two brothers. Their relationship is close. And, when
one can’t do anything from stopping this debilitating illness from claiming the
other, it’s excruciating to contemplate such an eminent fate. Oh, my, and when
the time arrives, it’s heartbreaking. Boy, tissues, tissues, and more tissues.
Can’t
tell you how much I loved this book!! How much I’m looking forward to the next
one! And, how this author made me a fan for life!! Such an amazing book that
really is one of the best I’ve read this year!!! Brilliant!!
And,
I also loved the author’s note at the beginning. So inspiring...
