Maggie Young had the market on normal. Normal friends, normal parents, normal grades…normal life.
Until him.
Clayton Reed was running from his past and an army of personal demons that threatened to take him down. He never thought he had a chance at happiness.
Until her.
Maggie thought their love could overcome anything. Clay thought she was all he needed to fix his messy life.
That together, they could face the world.
But the darkness is always waiting.
Sometimes the greatest obstacle to true love is within yourself.
Over and over, Maggie reminds us that bad things will happen. Yet even though I know they’re coming, I couldn’t stop moving forward, just like Maggie did. I was pretty much destroyed over memories from my own young-in-love experiences of wanting to be the savior. Being caught up in a destructive relationship is hard as an adult, but as a teenager, it’s multiplied in its struggles. Through major emotional ups and downs, Maggie and Clayton have their own bubble of co-dependency that ended with me hanging on what was to happen in the next book. A GREAT read. [April 2013]
