I thought I was strong enough. I thought I could make it through. I was wrong. The night I lost hope was the night I decided to end it all. I didn't expect anyone to save me. I didn't think anyone cared. Least of all, him . . .
Maree Green is an author of sweet and sexy New Adult and Contemporary romance, and romantic suspense. Her books contain a fairytale quality for those who love stories about strong female characters who are simply a little down on their luck and want their knight in shining armor—or at least a hot guy in a rock star’s tour bus—to swoop in and give them the HEA they deserve. When she’s not writing, she can be found working with her husband on their property, looking after a menagerie of animals, and exploring as many creative challenges as possible.
Such an emotional book, but worth the read. A beautiful love story of redemption and recovering. I’m so surprised that this has so little reviews!! I love that you could feel the journey from both Harper and Ethan side of the story. Ethan was sweet but his refusal to accept his true feelings for Harper gets a bit boring and irritating. Other than that, it was a good book.
“it’s my story too. I was there on the bridge that night,” he said, eyes flaring with emotion. “I had to decide in the span of half a second if I should try to talk to you or just pull you down. I wrapped your wrists in my ripped T-shirt. I went home with enough blood covering me that it still gives me nightmares to this day. I had to struggle with the consequences of my actions, and I still do. My soul fractured that night too, Harper, so yeah, it is my story to tell.”
really?????? be so fucking for real, now i tried to ignore for most parts his savior complex but this was my last straw, and me personally i would have had ethan be begging on his knees for forgiveness, bro acting like he didn’t LITERALLY tell her to off herself that day i don’t care if he “regrets it”, if he saved or anything, what kind of person says that, the redeeming trait being a volunteer for some shit campaign antibullying cmonnnnn, harper deserved better honestly and the fact that most of the book was with this dude fucking another girl who also did something horrible????? like cmon and ON TOP OF THAT they really made harper date this ridiculous dude who’s the worst, poor girl fr she’s had no break from life this would’ve been a 4 star if it was a cute little slowburn, i would have even let him being a bully at the beginning it but seriously this was just so wrong.

Book was good, I loved the premise so I gave it 4 starts BUT but I don’t do cheating and to ME, (my definition) he cheated. Not a re read for me, which is a bummer because the heroine was amazing.
That’s what I’m feeling right now! The writing in this is insane! You could feel every single emotion!
I’m not joking when I say that I cried from chapter 1 to the next. This was the first book I read from this author, and I’m so freaking happy!!
OK, the book had really dark moment so if you are not comfortable reading about abuse, then this is a light warning for you.
The message in this is wow. FUCK WHAT I POWERTRIPP!
I love that you could feel the journey from both Harper and Ethan side of the story. I’m so happy that I read this because often times you read these kind of story’s and the don’t get to you, but this one did.
Maree, you did a great job! I’m reading more of your books!
Man oh man what a powerful story. Especially for those of us who have felt that/those moment(s) of “what’s the point?” I love how the MCs didn’t have a quick fix for situations that were so tragically life altering.
The author showed in great detail how overcoming is a lifelong process and sometimes an individual can be their own hindrance in moving forward towards successes in life.
I normally don’t listen to stories like this because it can be triggering but the storyline was so good and true to form that I couldn’t put it down. Beautiful!! Glad I happened upon this little treasure.
Ethan: "That night on the bridge, you asked me what was the point of life. You know, that's the million-dollar question everyone asks themselves at some stage in their life. Shit, I ask myself that every week. But don't you believe the answer is nothing, Harper, because that's just a trick. Everyone has a purpose. Everyone has a point to their life. Everyone's life means something. You just haven't found it yet. It doesn't mean it's not there. You have worth, Harper. Believe in yourself. You're the strongest person I've ever met. You need to believe in yourself." 💪👏💪
2.75 Me hubiera gustado mas pero en el aspecto de au relación me perdieron cuando el Ml tiene un FWB con OW aun cuando muy en el fondo ya sabe que esta enamorado de la Fl No em gusta cuando estan con otras personas sabiendo ya esto mismo Muy aparte de esto me gusto ver el desarrollo de la Fl en cuanto a su crecimiento personal

This is such a fantastically emotional book! A definite must read for those who love a struggling heroine who battles continuously to overcome her struggles! A beautiful love story of redemption and recovering from rock bottom!
4.5 stars I enjoyed the storyline. Here and there a little lag. Did I take away they special feeling....the one that stays with you ..... no.....I enjoyed it but was missing something.
It was pretty predictable but the characters behaviours were understable. Although the heroine was in a world of pain, she didn't sound pathetic or whiny at all. Ethan was sweet but his refusal to accept his true feelings for Harper gets a bit boring and irritating. Kat, Liam and Connor were good to read about. The story has a lot of cliches but overcoming depression and standing up to bullies sends a good message to young readers. So, all in all, not a bad book.
Jesus. That was one hell of an emotional rollercoaster. I literally felt like i was harper, feeling everything she felt, going through everything she went through. This author is seriously talented with the way she writes. I actually feel lost and completely emotionally drained now ive finished reading this.
