I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
This was a beautiful, heart-breaking love story about two people who have been through so much in their lives trying to stay strong and love each other.
I adored this story and the characters. I know I probably shouldn't, but I loved Dexter straight away, he was moody and a bit of an idiot at times, but he was also funny, sarcastic, teasing, loving and caring. You knew from the beginning he had a secret and when I found out what it was it was just so so sad, I felt so sorry for him. I'm really hoping he makes it through okay with the help of Emily.
Emily was another character I adored, she was so shy at the beginning and lonely and straight away I wanted her to become a happier version of herself and have more people to care about her. She was strong and loving when she found out what Dexter's secret was and the fact she had her own heart-breaking story to tell, yet she was strong for other people made me love her even more.
It's not all sad though, the sex scenes with her and Dex were HOT and I love a guy with piercings so that was even better ;) and her best friend Rachael was such a laugh. I loved the insults she came up with, and I really hope there's something happening between her and Jared because I think they would be perfect for each other.
I definitely cried during this book, with that one scene I just couldn't stop the tears escaping and I cannot believe that ending!! I didn't realise there would be a book 2 so that was definitely unexpected, and I'm hoping Dexter doesn't head down a bad path what with who turned up at the end.
I would 100% recommend this book but with a warning to be prepared to have a little cry and being shocked at the ending. I know I'll be waiting for book 2 anxiously hoping it's not going to turn out in an awful way and that everyone gets their happily ever after.
