There
are those who don’t get luck handed to them on a shiny platter, who end up in
the wrong place at the wrong time, who don’t get saved.
Luck was not on Callie’s side the day of her twelfth birthday when everything was stolen from her. After it’s all over, she locks up her feelings and vows never to tell anyone what happened. Six years later her painful past consumes her life and most days it’s a struggle just to breathe.
For as long as Kayden can remember, suffering in silence was the only way to survive life. As long as he did what he was told, everything was okay. One night, after making a terrible mistake, it seems like his life might be over. Luck was on his side, though, when Callie coincidentally is in the right place at the right time and saves him.
Now he can’t stop thinking about the girl he saw at school, but never really knew. When he ends up at the same college as Callie, he does everything he can to try to get to know her. But Callie is reserved and closed off. The more he tries to be part of her life, the more he realizes Callie might need to be saved.

Can I first just start by saying… I FREAKIN’ LOVE THIS COVER!!! It
might be one of my absolute favorites.
Okay, now that that’s done.
I started this book after I read Hopeless by Colleen Hoover. I usually try to give myself a couple days
after something as emotional and epic as Hopeless was, but instead it more
re-energized me and I wanted to dig my teeth into something else asap. I had seen a lot of posts about this book and
I was seriously drawn to the cover so I dove right in. The only thing I should have been asking
myself is, What took me so long?!?
This book is amazing! This was my first Jessica Sorenson book and
I can tell you with certainty it will not be my last. Her writing style keeps you reading and keeps
you a part of the story so much so that I didn’t want to put it down. Even though I thought I knew what had
happened or what was going on in their lives (and I was right), I felt like I
had this need to keep reading, I had to know what was going to happen and
whether or not they would both be okay.
I didn’t want to be pulled away from the story for any reason.
It is a heavy story, with serious issues, so if you are looking
for something light and breezy, I would hold off on this one until you are
looking for something that is more. There
are times your heart will hurt for Callie and Kayden.
Also, if you are someone who can’t stand a cliff hanger…I would
wait until the next book comes out so you don’t have to wait. because yes, this
book has a cliff hanger. But believe me
when I tell you it is so worth it. This
book is captivating, well-written and these two beautifully broken characters
deserve to be read.
Five stars for Callie & Kayden and a dying reader who cannot
wait for the sequel.
