Title: Instead of You
Author: Anie Michaels
Genre: New Adult/Contemporary Romance
Student/Teacher Romance Novel
Release Date: May 24, 2016
Two brothers.
Cory was my best friend, the boy who I’d resolved to spend my entire life with. I’d grown to love him, gotten used to the idea of our life together, even if it wasn’t the all-encompassing, soul-crushing, heart-shattering romance it appeared to be.
Hayes was the boy who seemed entirely out of reach. Untouchable. He stole my first kiss, a secret I’d hidden away in the recesses of my heart, protecting the memory and hoping it would be enough to last me a lifetime. When he became my history teacher, it was impossible to hide from him any longer.
There was no way to anticipate just how important both Wallace brothers would become to me, how deeply they would change my life, or how the loss of one would propel me into the arms of the other.
Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆
A love born from tragedy. A love that could be considered of the forbidden kind. This is not a love triangle nor is it about cheating. This is an emotive and beautiful read that will leave you breathless.
It was always expected that Cory and Kenzie would end up together forever but Kenzie struggled with her feelings towards him and believed that time would enable her feel more. The kiss she shared with Cory's brother, Hayes, showed her what it should really feel like.
Circumstances bring Hayes home from college and into Kenzie's classroom. The tragedy that leads him home brings them together but could also drive them apart.
So many feels. So much emotion. So beautiful and so full of love and sadness. I'm in love with this book and with Anie's writing. The stories she weaves get under your skin and you feel everything from start to finish.
