Pure, authentic, beautiful writing. If that’s not enough to draw you in, let me count the ways….
Grief, I’ve learned, in its own way is beautiful. It’s hard and it’s heavy, some days its weight is too much to bear. But at its core, grief is a lifetime worth of love in one feeling. It’s all of what was had and all that was lost in one singular feeling. That is the feeling we explore most in this story. The love of one man who brings unlikely strangers together.
Reading about grief is hard for me already because I know it intimately. Reading about the grief of losing a twin. Put a fork in me…I’m done. That is a bond that can not easily be understood or explained. A loss I never want to know personally. The way Feller captures that bond and the grief tied to losing it is visceral. It’s raw and real and tender and heartbreaking. And I guess the easiest way to explain why, as a reader, I was perfectly okay with that, is sometimes we just want to FEEL. And, after all, the title kind of sets you up for exactly what the feeling is going to be like.
Weaving lost love, new love, and coping with grief into one story is a huge undertaking. A brave one at that. And it is my opinion that Feller really nailed it.
This story is not for the faint of heart. It’s not light and fluffy like cotton Candy, it’s dark chocolate with flecks of salt inside. It’s rich, deep, and full of moments that will catch your emotions off guard. You’ll ask yourself, “What would I do?” And “How would I cope?” More than once. You’ll find yourself brought into the story so fully and so completely that you’ll be left to wonder, did I experience this firsthand?
I can’t say enough about how beautiful this story was, how moving and profound the messages are. If you love to be wrecked by a book in the best way, I highly recommend you give this one a read.

OMG there was so much love in this book. It’s a emotional roller coaster of love, tenderness, sorrow and healing.

Casey just lost the love of her life, Lucas.
Lennon just lost his twin brother and best friend.
When Casey finally meets Lucas brother, Lennon it’s in the worst scenario possible.
United by their grief, Casey and Lennon find in each other the solace, friendship, acceptance and love needed to overcome their loss.
But what would Lucas say about this new found closeness of his brother and his girlfriend? What would everyone say?
•
This book is truly special.
The way the author weaves and builds the relationship between Lennon and Casey and the fact that it’s a story about finding love in the saddest moment it’s poetic really.
•
It’s not either a light or easy read, but it keeps you glued to each page, sentence and word like few books with this type of story do.
It’s lovely and raw, fun and sad, wonderful and desperate and most of all it’s so true it’s almost scary.
•
You will fall in love with the characters without any doubt and you won’t like when you finish it because you have to part with them but it’s really worth it!

Another amazing story by Nicole Feller. Every book she writes I fall in love with the characters. I could not put this down yet didn’t want the story to end. I can’t say enough good things about this book. It’s an incredible story full of love, emotions and beautiful words. Thanks Nicole! I can’t wait for your next book!

I saw this book on Jc Caylen’s stream on Twitch when he did a P.O. Box opening. I immediately went on my kindle to download it.
Reading about grief is difficult since I lost my grandmother, to whom I was very close. However, the way Nicole wrote about grief was real, raw, and heartbreaking.
This is not just a romance—it is a tender, raw exploration of grief, love, and the way two broken souls can find solace in each other. If you are looking for a work that breaks your heart and then pieces it back together with hope and warmth, you have found it.

I sobbed my way through the first 100 pages of this book. It tore at my heart so much; I felt as though I was feeling everything the main characters were feeling. It was beautiful agony, such raw emotion. This was an incredible book. The way the author was able to perfectly convey what the characters were feeling without bringing in any of that cringey cliche monotony that so many authors use, was superbly done. This didn’t feel like I was reading a book. This felt like I was experiencing devastation and healing along with Lennon and Casey. This felt like poetry.

4.5 stars!
It was absolutely beautiful.
I went along with Casey and Lennon on their journey; it was heartbreaking and heart mending.

This book. This sweet, heartwrenching book. Bring tissues. You'll need them. I love just how pure of soul the main characters are. But there's also not a shying away from the rawness that comes in this story. and oh, it's so beautifully written.
one of my favorite reads this year.
a quote that made me stop because it was just so good.....
In the dark, a mirror is just glass.
In my life, love is just pain.
