Alone.So I started over.And my journey of rediscovery led me straight into his arms.Chase Porter.The stranger who showed me life from a different perspective. But we both had secrets…His would destroy my world.
Review: First off, I would like to say that I have already claimed Chase Porter to be my book husband but hey, if you want to get in on the action, you'll have to one-click the ever loving shite out of this book. Why? You're going to ugly cry and fall in love over and over again.
I think that the main reason I fell in love with this was because of the fact that there were many different lessons within the book. The first one that I found was that you cannot truly love someone else if you don't love yourself.
Instead of saying that you should walk in someone's shoes, maybe look through things from their point of view. Though, I think that's the same thing. In some way. Comment if you know what I mean.
Anyways, I definitely am in love with Aria Bennet and there are no words to explain how much I ugly cried throughout the whole thing. I mean, my eyes were swollen shut for a good few days. Just kidding. That's an over exaggeration but it was definitely swollen for a good few hours.
Damn it, why do I have to be so emotional when it comes to these things? Okay, I have no other words other than to say that if you are looking for an emotional read, this is definitely the book for you. So with a rating of a high 5 out of 5 stars, this is your next read.

Prologue
I was a horrible person.
Truly.
But I had goals, and he didn’t fit into them.I didn’t know how to take back the words I’d said. They filtered through my brain like a bad dream that I just couldn’t awaken from. Just when they started to slowly slip away, they resurfaced. Rooted so deeply in my psyche, there was really no place for them to hide.
If only I’d known the ramifications of my actions. If only I’d known how my decisions would hurt me beyond repair.
But at the time, I couldn’t let him halt my progress. I was so close . . .
“Are you in love with me, Aria? Do you want to be with me?” Parker asked, and my heart completely stopped. I had waited so long to hear those words, for him to see me as more than a friend.
“No. I don’t want to be with you,” I replied. Even as the words left my mouth, I knew they were a lie.
I didn’t just love him. It was so much more than that. So much more than love. He was my rock, my friend. He was the lifeline that ran through me.
At the time, I thought I had no choice . . . I thought he would be able to see that after everything I’d been through I needed to succeed. I needed to make up for the loss of my brother Owen. In the end, though, my decisions were always toxic.
Toxic to him.Toxic to Owen.
Toxic to everyone.“No, I don’t love you.”Those were the last words he heard as he turned and walked away.
My heart tightened in my chest as the words replayed over and over again that afternoon. A record skipping that I just couldn’t turn off.Then the phone rang.Three words were uttered.Three words that changed my life.The phone slipped from my trembling hand, and I dropped to the floor.I couldn’t swallow. I couldn’t scream.Cemented in place.My shoulders curled in, and I clutched my stomach through dry heaves.I’d lost my soul mate, and now I’d lost my future.Everything I’d worked for crumbled, and it all no longer mattered.
