A parte il fatto che ha una traduzione stile google traslate e alcune frasi non sono state neanche tradotte...
dicevo, a parte questo...
Ma WTF?? Sul serio???
Tutto il libro è un tira e molla dietro l’altro... questo la rivede dopo 10 anni e se la scopa contro la porta così, perché gli va.
E LEI CI STA!!!
Poi bambini qui, bambini là come fossero puffi sotto anfetamina.
E il coma che si trasforma nel sognare un universo parallelo con altri figli e mariti e fidanzati...
Oddio, ho mal di testa.
PESSIMA LETTURA

Raw and real romance full of drama and sexiness
Darcy and Zach fell in love as teenagers but when Darcy makes a monumental decision without consulting Zach, he leaves, breaking both their hearts. When Darcy runs into him at the bookstore, well, let’s say it’s an encounter to remember and we learn that neither character has forgotten, or gotten over, their first love. What will these two star-crossed lovers do? Darcy is engaged to be married and Zach is getting a divorce. Is there hope for a future? Violet Haze is a master artisan of romance with a twist which I don’t want to give any of the beauty away. That’s all I can really say other than read this story, you will be captivated while getting all the drama, sexiness and romance you could possible want. This story is raw and real as we go through the ups and downs of life with Darcy and Zach while it provided several unexpected bumps along the way to give me a true emotional roller coaster of a romance.

This is a surprisingly suspenseful romance about Darcy and her first love Zach, the one that got away. After Darcy makes a huge decision without Zach, he's sent off to military school, never to be seen again. Well... that's what she thought, anyway. At their sudden and unexpected reunion, emotions sprint for the surface, threatening to change the course of both of their lives. They have both long since moved on from one another, but will things change when they reunite? Is the one that got away still within arm's reach? Or is anger the real emotion hidden beneath the surface? This is a heavy, sexual romance with twists and turns galore! At some parts I was rooting for one outcome, in others another, and every now and again I had no idea what I wanted, but the ending was absolutely perfect. In this novel it's hard to predict what's going to happen since there is so much going on, but it's a ride I most certainly enjoyed and was not disappointed by. I recommend this book for suspenseful romance fans.

Had me hooked from the beginning! As a teenager Darcy had a decision that would change hers and Zach's lives forever. Zach can't forgive Darcy for not trusting he could take care of her and getting him sent away to military school. 10 years later and Darcy can't believe her eyes, she needs a closer look to see if it really is Zach the boy she can't stop loving. Zach wants answers but he wasn't prepared for the feeling that went with seeing Darcy. With lots of plot twists and a full range of emotions nothing's is clear cut. Will Darcy and Zach find their way back to each other or does fate have other plans? I have been a fan of this author and this book put her in my favorite authors category! Great story with relatable characters!

I was given a copy by the author in exchange for an honest review.

I am so glad I got the full book, I don't think I would have been able to wait for each part to come out. This book kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time I was reading. I just had to know what was going to happen between Zach and Darcy. They were each other's first loves and after Darcy made a decision without Zach, he left. Now ten years later they run into each other again, will they reconnect or is the pain to great to get over? I recommend reading this one, you will not regret it.
