A contemporary romance, with a story told from two different perspectives. The reader is invited to discover the ups and downs of a love-based relationship, not only through the eyes of the female character but also through the ones of her partner. Emotional struggles define the journey this new couple will undertake, with the ultimate question standing in the air: will love prevail?
Triggers: profanity, mature scenes, and violence.
Story:
Meet Cassidy, a journalism student with a troubled past and a naïve view of the world. Her biggest dream is to become a reporter at one of the most successful newspapers in the world, so she can make her father proud.
Harly Ashbey is a successful publisher, who runs The Artefact, the newspaper Cassidy dreams of working at. Faith brings the two of them together, and there is no denying how attracted they are to each other. However, just like Cassidy, Harly too battles a troubled past, with the voice of guilt constantly reminding him of the things he stands to lose.
A turbulent journey of love begins, fueled by Cassidy’s desire to have someone who cares for her and Harly’s inability to stay away from the girl she considers to be perfect. A rollercoaster of events will follow, culminating with the day that should have been the happiest of their lives. A scandal, a piece of news to forever change their perspective… will their love be powerful enough? You will have to read the book to find out.
My opinion:
I found the book to be a comfortable read, with relatable characters, who struggle to define their emotional self and free themselves from other people’s expectations. As the story progressed, I could not help but hope their relationship will reach the point of forever and forever. After all, don’t we all love a happy ending?
It was interesting to see how much Cassidy and Harly fight not to let their past haunt them. They want to be together, regardless of the circumstances, and their story is wonderfully contoured by secondary characters. The themes of the book move from love and friendship to honesty and loyalty, and it is practically impossible not to enjoy the emotional rollercoaster gaining speed with every page turned.
Verdict:
The debut novel of Skylar Shoar is a delicately-woven contemporary romance, with unexpected plot twists and a breathtaking connection between characters. A story piece together without flaws, a love-based relationship that will leave you wanting for more, a passionate dive into the world of emotions… a real page turner!
