MY REVIEW:
The tone of this story is really sad
and dreamy. The writing is really good. Rivers was in a terrible
disfiguring accident. Delilah is the girl that cleans his house. I
liked these characters a lot. Rivers is in a lot of pain and
depressed by all that he's lost and Delilah is determined to draw him
out of funk. It took me awhile to get into this story but then by
chapter five I was hooked.I could then foresee the inevitable ugly
cry in my future. This is a story that you just know isn't going to
end happily but with most things in life it is the journey that is
the most important, and not the destination. 4.5 stars.
Blurb:
We are not
guaranteed anything, not even this life.
Rivers Young is the popular guy untouchable by reality. He is like a star—bright, consuming, otherworldly. The thing about stars, though, is that they eventually fall, and he is no different.
He falls far and he falls hard.
Delilah Bana is the outcast enshrouded in all of life's ironies. Alone, in the dark, like dusk as it falls on the world. When Rivers hits the ground, she is the night that catches him. In the darkness, they meld into something beautiful that shines like the sun.
Only, the greater the star is, the shorter its lifespan.

Excerpt:Our
eyes meet, his dark and searching. I don't have time to answer before
he says, “When you look at me, you have to be repulsed.”
“By what?” I ask.
He gestures to the
scars that line his face and then to his legs.
“I don't even see
them,” I say with all honesty.
His eyebrows lower
and his eyes follow. I caught the blatant yearning in his gaze just
before he hid it. He wants to believe me, but can't allow himself to.
My fingers curl into
the palms of my hands to keep from reaching out to him. I blow out a
noisy breath and look at a caterpillar ever so slowly creeping along
the grass. I put my finger out and it carefully feels my skin before
crawling over it, tickling my flesh as it goes.
I smile. “He's so
slow, but you know what? He never gives up. He knows, one day, he'll
be free,” I say in a low voice. “He's ugly to most, but to those
that matter, he's beautiful. They know his potential. They know where
he started and where he'll end, and how long it will take for him to
get there. It's something to be admired, not tossed aside.”
“You're saying one
day I'll be a butterfly,” he says skeptically.
I look up. “I'm
saying you've always been one.”
Rivers stares at me
for a long time, his eyes tracing the angles and curves of my face.
“You say a lot of strange stuff, you know that?”
Nodding, I hide a
smile. “I guess so.”
His tone is
thoughtful when he tells me, “I like it. I like being around you.”
