Limitless #3
Becoming
Gay. Confused. Unsure. Lost. Lily was all of the above. She spent her entire life fighting the person she truly was inside. Lily waged a war on her reflection, hating the things she saw that no one else could. She refused to accept that she was different in hopes that one day, things would change, that she would be normal. And it wasn't until Cambria Miller came into her life, that she started to realize that loving yourself, let you see the beauty in the imperfections. Cambria let the world see what they wanted; the social butterfly, the logical girl, the one everyone relied on. But no one saw what was underneath it all; the loneliness, the depression, the hurt that was caused by losing the one you love. Since the death of her girlfriend, Cambria refused to move forward, letting herself live in a world filled with memories of what she had lost. But the day Lily became apart of the equation, that all stopped. The lines she had set blurred until all she could see what the girl she wanted so desperately, despite the fear, the memories, and the shattered heart. As they come together on the broken path, supporting each other in the journey of discovery; the prospects of their future shatters in a tangled web of lies. Cambria and Lily are faced with the destruction of Cambria's past, leaving them wondering if they bond they had was strong enough to survive. Becoming is part of the Limitless standalone series. Each book can be read individually, but it is encouraged to read them in order to gain the best experience.

This book needs to be read by everyone. EVERYONE. It will change your life.
Danielle Ione made me fall in love with her previous books, Limitless and Unconventional but Becoming dug itself into my heart and made it its home. Becoming made me wish that Lily and Cambria were real because I'd want them in my life.
Lily doesn't know who she is. When you grow up being homeschooled, you miss out on things. Making friends, discovering the world, and learning who you are. 'Gay' isn't something Lily can be, her parents would kill her if they knew. But the moment she meets Cambria, she starts learning who she is, how she feels. 'Gay' is just a word. Lily is Lily. Her journey is inspiring and I can't stress enough how much I want everyone to read it! <3
Cambria doesn't want to be anyone's secret. After a tragic event, Cam refuses to be left in the dark; the secret girlfriend. She wants to love and be loved and have the world know it. When she's thrown in Lily's path, she teaches her how to become who she really is. There is nothing wrong with liking someone others tell you you can't like.
This book is full of surprises, heartwarming moments, and love. I hope Becoming can touch your life the way it did mine. This is one of my favorite books and if it's not clear enough, I HIGHLY recommend it!!!
Your life is just that, your own. Make it yours. Love who you love. Don't ever let someone dictate your happiness. You'll never be alone. You just need to find the right people who can show you that.

Gay. Bisexual. Lesbian. These words were never a part of my vocabulary growing up. In fact, those words were something of a sin in my household.
Limitless: Becoming by Danielle Ione is the third book in the Limitless series. We get to see Lily’s story. Lily is tired of acting like the person she is not, it’s time to finally be who she really is.
Lily’s roommate Mickey call’s Cambria and invites her to a party in hopes of her connecting with Lily and helping her accept her sexuality.
‘It was an uncomfortable and kind of fragile situation, I knew that, but I couldn’t stand to hear of someone else going through that by themselves, even if it was a decision they made themselves.
Lily agrees to let Cambria be her gay tour guide. As they spend time together Lily and Cambria start to connect and have feelings for each other. ‘I wasn’t going to regret anything, not today, just for one day, I wanted to give in to my desires.’
When Lily finally opens up to Cambria and wants to pursue a relationship, Cam pushes Lily away due to her being hurt in the past. Will she be able to get past it and move forward? I was so proud of Lily during a very intense scene regarding another gay couple, I was so proud of her. You will experience several emotions during the read, and you get to see into the lifestyle and what they go through with struggles and other people's stupidity. Cam also reveals a secret to Lily, how will she react to it? Lily takes a huge step by visiting her parents and telling them the truth. WIll they support Lily or push her away? The secondary characters added a great element to the story. Limitless:Becoming does not have a cliffhanger and can be read as a stand alone.

I was in awe of Danielle Ione's writing for the previous books in this series but she has cemented her place as a truly talented author with this instalment. This is one of this year's must reads for me as it takes an important issue and turns it into a beautiful story of self-discovery and finding your self-worth and self-confidence.
Lily is struggling with her sexuality and who she is. She hides herself away from the world in an attempt to deal with it as it conflicts greatly in her mind with the way that she has been brought up. In meeting Cambria she starts to accept who she is and become confident in who she is as well. Whilst Cambria helps Lily she is struggling herself with events from her past, which will bring her life on a collision course with the characters met in previous instalments.
This was beautiful, emotional and oh so amazing. It was heart-warming and heart-breaking. There aren't enough words to truly express how much this book touched me and how it made me feel while reading it. It is one of those books that will stay with you long after it is finished and will keep you thinking.
