Blurb:

There are those who don’t get luck handed to them on a shiny platter, who end up in the wrong place at the wrong time, who don’t get saved.

Luck was not on Callie’s side the day of her twelfth birthday when everything was stolen from her. After it’s all over, she locks up her feelings and vows never to tell anyone what happened. Six years later her painful past consumes her life and most days it’s a struggle just to breathe.

For as long as Kayden can remember, suffering in silence was the only way to survive life. As long as he did what he was told, everything was okay. One night, after making a terrible mistake, it seems like his life might be over. Luck was on his side, though, when Callie coincidentally is in the right place at the right time and saves him.

Now he can’t stop thinking about the girl he saw at school, but never really knew. When he ends up at the same college as Callie, he does everything he can to try to get to know her. But Callie is reserved and closed off. The more he tries to be part of her life, the more he realizes Callie might need to be saved. 

Review:

Before I get into the book, I have to say that I love the cover. It's beautiful and eye catching. 

“In the existence of our lives, there is a single coincidence that brings us together and for a moment, our hearts beat as one.”

Callie has been an outcast since the 6th grade when she chopped of her hair and started wearing baggy clothes. She has been keeping a dark secret. A secret that has changed her life and is the cause of her unhappiness. She keeps to herself, preferring to be alone.

Kayden is the opposite of Callie. Or so it seems.  He is popular and has a girlfriend that all the other boys drool over. But what nobody knows is that inside he is unhappy.

Fate has brought Callie and Kayden back together in college. They become each others rock and develop a relationship neither of them expected.

I loved this book. It was heart breaking but still had some sweet moments. Callie and Kayden are amazing together and as separate characters. My heart broke for both of them. This book took me through so many different emotions from sadness to frustration and a little bit of happiness. Jessica Sorensen definitely knows how to write heartbreaking story!

But that cliffhanger! How can it just end like that?!

Luckily, the next part is out and I won't have to wait to see what happens next.
