Now that Violet and Luke are aware of their connection regarding Violet's family, things take a very dark turn with Violet leaving Luke to return to Preston. Her former foster "parent" (and I use that loosely) has a whole new round of drug dealing and humiliation in store for Violet, and Luke is completely wrecked with Violet's leaving. 
 Fate and desperation brings the two of them together again with dire consequences, but at least they are in a position to attempt to deal with what happened between them. It isn't easy going. Luke is in serious trouble, and is forced to reach out to the last person he thinks he needs. 
 And Violet..she's just lost in so much doubt and despair after a new revelation at the end of the book, it made me wonder how she would ever find her way back. 
 What I really like about these two characters is that they have so much stacked up against them, and yet they find comfort in each other -- the question is whether they can sustain it. Can they learn to trust each other and learn to love? Looking forward to how their story will continue in next week's release of The Certainty of Violet and Luke.
