 Till Page grew up only knowing one thing in his life... Fighting. 
 Fighting for his life, his dreams, his future, and fighting for his brothers. Life has always thrown a curveball in his direction. Every direction trying to break him and fail, but he kept getting back up. 
 Then he stumbled into Eliza "Doodle" and reality became a fantasy with her in it. Life was better with her around, simpler, and the struggle of life wasn't a constant tight hold. But he was afraid that the day she would leave his life with spiral once again and she wouldn't be around to bring him the serenity and peace he always felt with "Doodle" around. 
 Eliza Reynolds knew the struggles of life, escaping reality she hid in an abandon apartment where one night a boy came in through the window, Till. They formed a bond that soon became a friendship they both cherished never overstepping the boundaries of being friends. Once they overstep that line will the bubble burst into a thousand shards of glass getting ready to cut them deep? Or will it be worth the fight they both endure? 
 I have no other words to describe how gut wrenching this read was at times. The laughs, the tears, the agony that the story created was just WOW! The journey of following the up's and down's that Till had to go through was just down right painful at times. I wanted the happy ending for him without all the turmoil that life dealt him. But it was also beautiful in how it played a huge role into becoming the man Till became. 
 Eliza was the not only the rock for Till, but they equally shared the responsibility helping each one find a balance in their lives. Eliza was funny, smart, loving, and caring. But she also held herself to be strong when she needed to be. Eliza was no one's doormat and I loved her for it. 
 The ending of the story was just beautiful as it was heartbreaking. It was the perfect ending in my book. 
 This book takes you through a journey of what life can really be like in reality. It was a story that you could relate to and see someone going through it one way or another. I think that is one of my favorite attributes of Ms. Martinez writing. Ms. Martinez has climb my ranks into my favorite authors of 2016.
