Age is just
a number.
Just like
he's just a boy and I'm just a girl.
Except
that's not true, is it?
Because
fifteen may be a number, but it's bigger than that. Bigger than us.
It's a
number that separates us.
An excuse
that keeps us apart.
But I'm not
willing to give in until I get what I want.
After all,
how many other girls can bring a grown man to his knees with one little smile?

Excerpt
“Show me how to play,” I say.
Her body leans back as her brows pinch with a dubious stare.
“You want me to teach you how to play piano?”
I nod. “The song you played. I like it.”
She blinks, brushing her fingers through her hair. “It’s
about learning to love people’s faults and pain for what they are. Beautiful.”
My head cocks. “Why is that?”
She wets her bottom lip. “I guess when you love someone, you
don’t get to choose which parts. You’re getting every single piece of their
being, scarred or not.”
Her eyes trail to her hand, scarred with white and pink
marks. My fingers graze over each one, causing her to suck in a breath and
freeze as I caress the marred flesh. They’re rougher than the rest of her hand,
but part of her nonetheless.
Meeting her eyes, we stay like that for a few long moments.
Neither of us says a thing or moves an inch. We just remain touching, staring,
being there in one another’s company.
Then I pull away. “What are the keys I need to learn for the
song?”
She exhales then shows me the basics.
It’s a silent admission between us.
Your scars are beautiful, Charlie.
I gave this book 3.5 STARS.
I gave this book 3.5 STARS.
So fair warning this is not the type of book I normally enjoy. I love romance and yes, have read books with a big age difference. Not this big of a difference. I was a little uncomfortable because, I have a daughter and I would not feel comfortable with her having a relationship with someone with that much of a gap.
This book however did pull at my heart, the trauma that Charlie has had to overcome is heart wrenching. I am happy that she finds love and comfort in Oliver and ultimately has the ending she deserves.
The writing in this book is intense. The characters are powerful. I do give the author some credit for giving us a taboo story that does bring out strong emotions.
