How many times can one woman’s heart be broken before it can
no longer be healed and she goes mad from the pain? Love and happy endings are only true in fairy
tales, love is destructive, painful and at times deadly.
Lil’s heart has been broken one too many times, it won’t
heal. Her pain has sent her into a
downward spiral that is so heart wrenching that you feel the madness take you
over as it does her. Your heart breaks
right along with Lil’s. You feel each
and every piece shatter into smaller pieces that can never be healed
again. Betrayal, the loss of a love so
obsessive that it turns destructive, meaningless sex, the chance of true love
and happiness only for it to be ripped right out of her hands, and a second
chance at love has made her take a path down a destructive spiral that she may
not be able to reverse.
Every time Lil would suffer I felt like a knife was stabbing
me in my own heart. Each piece of her
heart and her sanity breaking made me feel her pain. Beginning with her first heart break you see
that Lil will not have a smooth road to happiness but one that is filled with
so many twists, turns, pot holes and bumps that it is a miracle that she is
able to maneuver her life through it.
Lil tries to put her heart back together after each heart break but it’s
only being held together by the tiniest amount of glue that even a small tap
will break the pieces again.
When her first true love leaves and shatters her world completely
you never think that Lil will be able to bring herself out of the depth of
despair that she is in. You finally
think that maybe, just maybe her knight in shining armor that could make her
fairytale come true will be the one to save her comes in to her life and for a
while Lil is happy once more, that is until he plunges his sword into her heart
as well.
When her first love, Leo, returns he helps bring the light
back into her life and they begin their life together. But even the love of Leo
can help her when she suffers a loss so heart breaking that she spirals out of
control and pushes Leo away. She hits
such a low, one that has her ending her pain in a way that is final, you never
think that she will be pulled from her madness, but the same love that has
broken her heart and sanity is the one that pulls her from her madness and
heals her heart and mind.
I can’t begin to tell you what this book made me feel, there
is so much angst, heart break and pain that it is a total mind fuck. I cried almost from the prologue alone and
each time Lil’s heart broke I cried even more.
My emotions were on such a roller coaster that at times I had to let
myself cry out the pain I felt. To feel
such despair and pain drained me both mentally and physically. To feel such a low that the only choice you
have is to end the pain is sadly for some the only way to make it end.
Kimber S, Dawn has written such an emotional, angst filled
story that shows that love is painful, heart breaking and sometimes
maddening. I have a feeling a lot of
people will connect with Lil’s pain and have felt how she has at times, this
reviewer being one of them. This is a
must read and one of the best books I have read this year so far.
