ReviewThis is a standalone book and it is the story of Leah and Adam ,,, these are two tortured souls, having to deal with secondhand addiction ,,, both of their siblings have been addicted to drugs ,,, neither Leah nor Adam know one another but are brought together through circumstances out of their control
Adam has been checking out a girl for a while now ,,, he's not a stalker, although I might like to examining the term stalker a little closer before making my mind up fully on that one lol ;) ,,, he has admired from afar, drawn to her, her looks and her way she carries herself ,,, never making a move ,,, never being noticed in return ,,, until his friend copes and eyeful and chants a few words in her direction which the girl doesn't take too kindly to and very firmly puts the friend in his place
When she does this she notices Adam ,,, the guy is one of the hottest guys she's ever seen ,,, she pulls her eyes away and carries on with her day
Addiction is an awful thing ,,, it effects so many not just the user ,,, this book highlights all of this and the surrounding consequences of such behaviour ,,, Adams sister unfortunately loses her life to her addiction ,,, leaving behind her boyfriend and child ,,, the boyfriend that happens to be Leah's (the girl) brother ,, the child that know ones is aware of until her mothers death ,,, Leah's brother knows that now is the time to get clean ,,, for himself and for his child, Dani, she's lost her mum and he does to want her to lose her father too
In order to get clean he will need help ,,, the only person he could ask and trust is his sister Leah ,,, and grants her temporary custody until he gets clean and get his baby girl back and give her the life she deserves
Dani is the factor that brings Adam and Leah together ,,, she's a character that will melt your heart and you'll love her :) ,,, she'll put a smile on your face
You'll get ups and downs of addiction from all angles ,,, there is additional people involved in this story that you'll not be impressed with but given the nature of the story are a key part in it :(
You'll also get the little that shines through all of the bad stuff which is the relationship that forms between Leah and Adam ,, their bond, connection is noticeable on their meeting ,,, these two have experienced different things in life but stuff that's on the same lines too ,,, offering both an understanding and acceptance of their circumstances as well as their previous actions gives them such a strong connection ,,, connecting in ways the others wouldn't understand because of their siblings ,,, and their need to protect the little blessing known as Dani
Through all of this hardship they have experienced will their be light at the end of the tunnel? Can Shane (Leah's brother) finally get clean and straight? Will Adams family forgive him? Will Leah and Adam be able to give into the urge to be with the other without fear of reprocussion for Dani? Will they finally rid drugs and all that comes with it once and for all?
Well give it a go and enjoy people it's a gooden :)

AUTHOR BIO:
Michelle moved around the Midwest most of her life,
transferring from school to school before settling down in the outskirts of
Chicago ten years ago, where she now resides with her husband and two
kids. She developed a love of reading at
a young age, which helped lay the foundation for her passion to write. With the encouragement of her family, she
finally sat down and wrote one of the many stories that have been floating
around in her head. When she isn’t reading or writing, she can be found playing
with her kids, talking to her mom on the phone, or hanging out with her family
and friends. But after chasing around
twin preschoolers all day, she always cherishes her relaxation time after
putting the kids to bed.
