*CONTAINS SPOILERS*
Overall Rating 10/10
I love, love, love this story!
I am so happy you asked me to review this, I previously read it but didn't realise there was a sequel (which I will definitely be reading now!)
I dont know where to start with this, or if I even have any criticisms, I read it a few weeks ago so didn’t have to read it again to review it.
There aren’t many stories on here that I have cared about the outcome as much as i cared in this story.
My favourite character has to be Nikki, she is so relatable and just seems really real (if that makes sense) and I really wanted her relationship to work out.
You’re writing style is also great, it’s so easy to read and structured amazingly for impact, whichever characters viewpoint a chapter is written in its almost like you’re there watching it happen through their eyes.
I actually felt sad when Calum and Nikki didnt work out though, maybe it was just me but I liked reading about them together, Luke and Nikki were a great couple too but I was rooting for Calum.
At least that is until your last few chapters WOW! I was so upset by the ending
Im talking about this scene:
"I slept-"
"Stop," I put up my hand.
"Nic, please. I was drunk. I-"
"Just stop," I say calmly, cutting him off.
The urge to scream at the top of my lungs, then fall to the ground and cry hits me like a big rig truck. I close my eyes trying to keep my composure.
WOAH the feels, and your writing style at that point had me close to tears.
That was a heart breaking ending if I’m honest, but now I have to get to reading the sequel! I can’t wait.
SO my end note, a great story, amazing characters and writing style. I definitely, definitely recommend this to read (if you havent already!)
Can you do one for my story "The Arranged Wedding"? Thanks love!!!
