OH MY WORD!! What an absolutely AMAZING story... I have just finished and feel like I have a huge hangover, so much so I'm not sure I'm ready to write a full proper review, but at the same time just need to get everything out of my system now! This story is BEAUTIFUL! 
 A.L. Jackson's writing just keeps getting better and better EVERY . SINGLE. TIME! I honestly don't know of another author that writes with such emotion and such beautifully descriptive words throughout the whole book. She immerses you in the story and before you realise it you are simply lost within those pages, the time stops and life around you seems to cease. I have just devoured the last 50% of this book, but didn't even notice the percentage going up on my kindle, I was so totally transfixed and before I knew it I hit the 'epilogue' and Austin and Edie's beautiful story was over. 
 Austin and Edie and fantastic characters. Austin is Edie's "beautiful boy". He is "Beautiful. Devastating. Captivating." And Edie is the beautiful blonde created just for Austin. 
 "Pretty. 
 Not even close. 
 She was fucking gorgeous. 
 It was like the girl had been created just for me. A replica of my every fantasy. But it was the inside that left me a jumbled mess. 
 The gracious and the good. 
 The girl was the only one who had shed a light strong enough to pull me from the dark. The one who held the power to call me from the blackened waters where my lungs were filled. At the cusp of succumbing. 
 Right where I belonged. 
 But that girl...that girl had given me air." 
 Dare I say it?..... I actually think Austin and Edie are my new favourites! Austin has stolen my heart and has firmly found a place within me. He has always intrigued me. I have always been looking forward to reading more about him and reading his version of events and the dark secrets he's been harbouring, so it's wonderful to finally go on this journey with him and Edie. This story pulled at my heart strings, there were elements of the story where I could relate to the characters, and even the parts that I couldn't I still found myself sympathising, understanding and struggling right alongside them. The depth of these characters are wonderful, with so much about Austin we didn't know we were really able to discover his pain, the darkness and the loss within him. We also discovered a lot about Edie, with her own past, her hurt, her pain and her suffering. 
 "Sometimes the greatest beauty is in the darkest storms." 
 And there really have been some very dark storms in both Edie and Austin's lives. In this book we learn more about each of them individually and also about them as friends and the impact they each have (and have had previously) on each other's lives. The relationship between Edie and Austin is simply stunning - I cannot say it enough times, it is beautiful. But it is also heart-breaking and heart-wrenching at times with some difficult moments for both of them. The two characters are each other's strength, but they are also each other's biggest weakness. 
 I'm not even going to go into any big details of the story as there is no way you'll want to risk anything about this book being spoilt. But let me say, this story is a masterpiece! An absolutely magnificent creation about a broken boy and a broken girl, looking for a way to fix themselves and each other. This story will sing to you, reach for you, grab you, throw you around a bit, make you feel like you are drowning, before spitting you out and putting you back together again piece by piece. I had ALL of the feels reading this book, I felt the emotion, I cried, but I also smiled too and it absolutely OWNED me from the very first page right through to the very last word! It is EVERYTHING, a stunning love story of EPIC proportions.
