4.5 Smooches!
Synopsis
Northern was supposed to be a fresh start—a place where people didn’t know who I was or how I had spent years in and out of mental institutes. People didn’t know about my parents death or the island no one heard of. But when Peter sits next to me in lit class, I can’t stop the memories, and I don’t want to. He looks too much like the boy from the island, and despite my best intentions, coaxes my secrets from me.
He’s gorgeous, irresistible, a little mad, and completely lost—we are a pair of broken cogs in a world neither of us truly fits into. He is somehow gentle and fierce, heartbreaking in his devotion and savage in his defense.
When Belle, his best friend, shows up, pale and lovely and sick, Peter pulls away from me, a startling withdrawal. It’s a relationship that scares and confuses me. She is at times warm and friendly, and other times is violent and unpredictable.
Peter says that he wants me, but refuses to let himself get close. And there are secrets, surrounding both of us, that border on nightmares. As the memories close in, as Belle gets sicker and more violent, I’m torn between what is true and what I believe, and what this magical boy knows about my mysterious past.
Review
Gwendolyn Barrie is the heiress to Barrie Enterprises. One tragic childhood event, a possible stay on an unknown island, and an admission to an insane asylum has dealt this poor girl an awful hand. She is given one chance to prove herself to her family and Gwen has such a fight about her. She will not stand to have others doubt her even when she doubts herself.Gwen is driven to not be labeled as a crazy and one day proving herself worthy to run her father’s company. Now not every female lead can be invincible but the struggles she undergoes just made me love her even more. I felt for Gwendolyn, I wanted others to believe her, I wanted the underdog to persevere!
I was glued and drawn in from the beginning and it was all thanks to the the writing style of Nazarea. I read this book in ONE DAY! I had to finish the book even if I had to read at my kids baseball practice or late into the evening. The character connection was instantaneous. I would recommend this book to those that love a book that tickles your imagination. It’s so easy to fall for the billionaire, fighter, biker, rockstar but did you ever think of falling in love with someone you may have already met? When everyone tells you that they couldn’t possibly exist?
I loved this book because I kept this ongoing battle in my mind of: Is this true? Could this have really happened? Can she really be fine? Nazarea will want you begging for more after completing this book, I am now researching other books she’s written to add to my TBR list. 4.5 smooches for Girl Lost by Nazarea Andrews!
