Samson’s knee brushes high up on my inner thigh and I’m glad he can’t see anything from my chin down, because my body is covered in chills right now.

“I didn’t think there were many people in the world like me,” he says.

“You think we’re alike?” I want to laugh at that comparison, but there’s not an ounce of humor in his expression.

“I believe we have a lot more in common than you think we do, Beyah.”

“You think you’re as alone in this world as I am?”

He folds his lips together and nods his head, and it’s the most honest thing I’ve ever seen. I never would have thought someone so well off could have a life as shitty as mine, but I can see it in the way he’s looking at me. Everything about him suddenly seems familiar to me.

He’s right. We are alike, but only in the saddest ways.

My voice comes out in a whisper when I say, “When I first met you on that ferry, I could tell you were damaged.”

There’s a flicker of something in his eyes as he tilts his head to the right. “You think I’m damaged?”

“Yes.”

He moves even closer in the water, but there wasn’t much space left between us to begin with. It’s deliberate, and so much of me is touching so much of him now. “You’re right,” he says quietly, slipping a hand around the back of my left knee. “There’s nothing left of me but a fucking pile of debris.” He pulls me to him, wrapping both my legs around him. That’s all he does, though. He doesn’t try to kiss me. He just connects us together as if that’s enough while our arms keep us both afloat.

I’m swiftly succumbing to him. I don’t know in what way. All of them, maybe. Because right now, I need him to do something else. Anything else. Taste me. Touch me. Drag me under.

We watch each other for a moment and it’s almost like looking into a broken mirror. He leans in slowly, but not toward my mouth. He presses his lips against my shoulder, so gentle it feels like a graze.

I close my eyes and inhale.

I’ve never felt anything so sensual. So perfect.

This book was/is amazing. I find myself so engrossed that I have to force myself to slow down and take breaks. Needless to say, I still read this in less than 24 hours.

Beyah lives in Kentucky with her strung out mom, when she comes home one night and finds her mother dead of an overdose. With nowhere to go until August she calls her father. She lies every step of the wayl for self preservation. She is unsure at first on how she will fit in with her dad, his new wife and stepsister. But meeting Samson, her neighbor, has her spilling all her truths.

But Samson remains secretive, but he promises Beyah come August 2nd, he will tell her everything.

This story was beautifully tragic, told in true Colleen fashion. You definitely want to one-click this.
Beyah has nowhere else to turn after her mother overdoses, so she calls her father. Having no real relationship with him the past fees years, makes it easy for Beyah to omit her college scholarship and her mother's death as she stays with him for the summer. Then comes Samson. He seems just as damaged as she was.

This was a great story. I really cared for these characters and wanted then to find their happiness. The story was engaging all the way through.

You definitely want to read this one!
