Review
I had grabbed this book a while ago, but never got around to reading it. About a month ago, I was given an audible giftcard. I knew immediately that I wanted another narrated by Ashley Klanac because I absolutely loved another of her narrations. I decided on this one because of the whisper sync deal.
A couple weeks after I bought it, I was in another state helping my sister move back to Texas. I turned this on in Alabama, with the plan on stopping midway between the two for a break. Except, I didn't want to stop because that would mean the book would stop. So I ended up driving almost the entire way home, only stopping about an hour away because I was nearly out of gas.
As soon as I got home, I uploaded the ebook version onto my kindle app so I could read it. Except I missed Ashley's voice for the narration, so I ended up doing a read-a-long (I love those!).
This book was freaking awesome. I loved how, despite everything Jade has been through - she isn't a victim. She's so unbelievably strong, and a lot of her past reminds me of my own. To see how she handled things, it was truly inspiring.
I really enjoyed how Garret was willing to become a better person just so he could be with this girl he had fallen for. It is rare that the male romantic lead is someone who I could find myself being friends with - and I felt he was pretty cool.
Highly recommend this book. Both the audio and ebook versions are fantastic.
