Blurb


Brooke Summerlin’s life is like a Cinderella story. Raised by an abusive, drug addicted mother, she desperately hides the truth about where she comes from. But Prince Charming arrives in the form of Liam, the most popular guy at school. He sweeps into her life and carries her away to what is supposed to be a happily ever after.

Until it isn’t.

Sebastian McKinney is the son of an Iowa state champion wrestler, and that’s what he’s going to be. Wrestling is his life. He’s focused. Determined. Nothing will stand in his way. 

Except a silent illness that almost kills him.

Brooke’s greatest tragedy becomes Sebastian’s second chance at life.  Four years later, he’s moving forward, his body healthy, while she is left to sink in grief that threatens to drown her.

But sometimes love transcends the boundaries of life and death—between what is known and what cannot be explained. The heart that loved Brooke continues to beat, and even now, it still beats for her.







Review
Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆

Oh my gosh, this brought all the feels as the lives of these characters cross under very tragic circumstances.

Liam is Brooke's saviour.  He saved her from social oblivion at school and from her abusive mother.  But he is tragically taken away from her forever.

Sebastian has his whole life planned out until he collapses at a state wrestling tournament and his life is turned upside down.  Liam's tragedy is Sebastian's chance for life. 

When Sebastian sees Brooke for the first time, he instantly knows who she is but there is a darkness surrounding her that never quite goes away.

Whilst I loved the story of the heart recognising the one it wants, it was the author's portrayal of depression that impressed me most and the constant daily battle with it.  The irrational way that the brain works and the physiological impact it has were sensitively dealt with.  I was totally impressed by the book in its totality as well as its individual parts.
