Nothing comes easy.
Nothing is given but must always be earned.
The problem is I’m too tainted and broken to have anything good.
That was a lesson I was taught early.
A lesson I carried throughout my life, and into every relationship I had.
I did not trust.
Trusting meant I was vulnerable, and when you let your guard down, that’s when all the dark shit seeps in. That’s when the demons attack.
Nothing good happens in the dark.
But, Aurora, she was the sun, there was a goodness about her. I knew if I didn’t let her go, I would dim her light and chip away at the wonderful person she was. It's what I did, what I’ve always done. I take the good and break it.
But no one told me letting her go would be one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to face.

MY REVIEW
Aurora's heart can't take it anymore - wanting and hoping for something more with her friend Jace, the guy who pulls her in then pushes her away, all the damn time. So she's done. She's got her other friends, especially Zac, and she'll just have to live with knowing that Jace won't commit to anything but his found family. But when something happens to put her in danger, suddenly Jace stares down a future that could have been without her. Now it looks like he can commit, but will he?
I have to admit that Jace's hot and cold bs drove me nuts! Aurora is a saint for putting up with it. She and Zac are my favorite part of this angsty, emotional story. She's strong and has a big heart, unfortunately for her, that heart wanted the guy who wouldn't commit until he realized he had to if he wanted to keep her in his life. While not my favorite story by this author, it's still entertaining and Aurora and Zac's friendship more than made up for Jace's nonsense.
