The story captivated me. The writing mesmerized me. And the story consumed me and leave me speechless....

The story was sad and dark but also beautiful at the same time. My heart broke for Cal and still bleeds for him. Even the tears still flowing as I write this review....

This book had ruined me without mercy...

I know it just a fiction, but the feels is raw and so real. The anger and the sadness I felt for what had happen and the damage that caused all the bitterness that engulfed the MC's was so real. I want to cast my anger and hit something to push out all the emotions I try to endured during the reading...

But in the end, what I can only do is just crying...

I didn't want to spoil ANYTHING about the story. It's way too precious to be ruined by any spoilers. If you want to know and curious about the story, better you find out what actually happen by yourself, but please take the warning seriously and read it with your own risk. 

This is that kind of book that will stay in your heart forever because the sadness won't leave you even after you finished the book...

“Do you want me gone? I can go away, if you want.” 

“Could you go?” For the first time in days, he reached for me. “No, you can’t go away,” he said softly. “I thought about asking you. I can’t. So don’t lie to me. You can’t, either.” 

Highly Recommended with serious warning!
