Blurb from Goodreads:
She is pretty and talented - sweet sixteen and never been kissed. He is seventeen; gorgeous and on the brink of a bright future. And now they have fallen in love. But... they are brother and sister.
Seventeen-year-old Lochan and sixteen-year-old Maya have always felt more like friends than siblings. Together they have stepped in for their alcoholic, wayward mother to take care of their three younger siblings. As defacto parents to the little ones, Lochan and Maya have had to grow up fast. And the stress of their lives—and the way they understand each other so completely—has also also brought them closer than two siblings would ordinarily be. So close, in fact, that they have fallen in love. Their clandestine romance quickly blooms into deep, desperate love. They know their relationship is wrong and cannot possibly continue. And yet, they cannot stop what feels so incredibly right. As the novel careens toward an explosive and shocking finale, only one thing is certain: a love this devastating has no happy ending.
My review:
“You can close your eyes to the things you do not want to see, but you cannot close your heart to the things you do not want to feel.”
Oh my goodness. This book tore my heart apart.
I don’t even have the courage to write a decent review about it.
No, actually I don’t want to. Because I think you should read this book without knowing too much about it. Avoid reading detailed reviews before you read this book.
Make up your own thoughts about the subjects without being influenced by friends.
Make up your own thoughts about the characters.
And most important: discover this book on your own.
And think about it. This book will definitely make you think.
“At the end of the day it's about how much you can bear, how much you can endure. Being together, we harm nobody; being apart, we extinguish ourselves.”
