Grief and pain consume Ellery Steven’s life.
At school she puts on a show. For her one and only friend, Jackson Gray,
she pretends to be the same happy go lucky person she’s always been. At home she’s become an actress with a
penchant for portraying the picture of happiness and health.
No one knows the real Ellery Steven’s…until the night she
tries to commit suicide.
So she has the gun, has planned out the perfect scenario of
what to do, and is one click away from easing her pain. Except when her plans get completely botched
and she’s left feeling as though she can’t even get suicide right.
In walks fellow classmate,
Colter Sawyer. Colter recognizes the
signs, he knows all about what Ellery has been up to and he’s desperate to
change her mind. But can he? Can anyone get through to a girl whose given
up on hope and succumbed to her grief?
And if he can get through to her, does that mean he’s redeemed for his
own past?
Getting into this book was not hard at all. The plot was on point, the characters were
believable and the writing style helped for the story to be told in a fluid and
flawless way. There were certain aspects
that were a little harder to believe than most, but ultimately the story came
together in a way that will touch your heart and have you believing that hope and
faith will triumph against the grief and pain both main characters are
feeling.
Added bonus…Jackson Gray.
I love, love, LOVED his character.
He brought the comedic relief at certain times, but ultimately was just
a really good guy with a heart of gold.
He’s the type to be friends with just about anyone and will defend his
friends at the drop of a hat.
If you enjoyed All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven, you
will find that this story is definitely going to be one you have to pick
up.
Erica Chapman is a fantastic author and I cannot wait to
read more of her work.
Happy Reading!
