I wasn’t sure how their story would play out, the push and pull tension was there even from the outside and Rina Kent DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! I loved the sweet build up and oh how my heart crashed when the first wave hit. I was so curious about Xander and Kimberly’s dynamics whilst reading Aiden and Elsa’s story. It's an amazing listen and one you cannot do without.Įmotional, angsty, unforgettable. Then the two turn it around and we can feel the love. East finds the heart of Xander, and gives us his agony. Stevens as Kimberly is realistic, letting us feel the gut wrenching pain she feels. These two breathe life into the characters. Narrated by Keira Stevens and Shane East, the story is extraordinary. Kent rips our hearts out and slowly puts them back together and creates a beautiful love story. It deals with depression, addiction, love, degradation, and so many more issues. And together, years later, these two find their way through the darkness. Xander has secrets, ones that are tearing him apart. Not only does she deal with this with her best friend, but her mother incessantly degrades her. Kimberly and Xander have been friends since birth, until one day, Xander just dumps her and begins to treat her terribly. While it resides in the bully trope, it brings out so many more truths in our youth. Rina Kent has a talent for bringing this type of story to our attention. This book is more than a romance, it's relevant to our times and understated to say the least.
