Overall
Rating 5+ Stars (Should be 10)
So I got this book as part of
Calista’s Blog tour and O.M.G, I’m so glad I signed up for this tour. This
author is brilliant and very talented. It is her debut novel and I was not
disappointed at all. I was quite intrigued on page one, then I start to read
chapter after chapter and I was not able to put this book down. I was quite
pleased with the author’s writing style.
Raquel (Rocky) at the beginning of
the book was going through something horrible, something a teen should never
have to go through. It broke my heart. So she start new at another school,
where she meets Dante. At first I really didn’t like him, but after I kept
reading I fell in love with him. Raquel and Dante start a on again off again
relationship. This romance is not what you expect. It is not all roses and
hearts, the romance is a heart breaking one. They go through so much together,
and by the end of the book all you want to do is smack Raquel. About the last
20% of this book I UGLY CRIED!! This book ripped my heart in half. I just can’t
wait until the next book, because I really want to know what will happen with
these characters. The secondary characters are AMAZING!! Nat, Aidan, and Val
you will fall in love with them also.
This book is the best book I’ve read
in a LONG time, it was definitely a page turner, and I promise you this book is
a MUST read. It will have you laughing and crying all at the same time. Yes
some part will have you pissed off as well. In my opinion this book deserves
more than 5 stars. Hats off to a brand new author who will definitely surprise
you and make you fall in love with her as well!! Thank you Calista for writing
this amazing book.
