First let me say, this cover is stunning, and I’m slightly obsessed with it. In this book we are dealing with some heavy topics and how those who survive or endure tragic events continue living their lives after such tragedy. At the beginning we are introduced to Dandelion aka Dani who is starting her life over at a new school and having to meet with a new counselor, but since the events she’s been through she is very doubtful her life will ever be the same nor will the counselor be able to help her out of her dark thoughts. I loved how the author brought the emotions and characters to life and we as readers could feel their pain, laughter, and all of it. Dani finds herself opening up more and more to her counselor because even if its wrong she is extremely attracted to him, yet she finds a comfort in him where she can be herself and tell him all her thoughts. The book is extremely detailed and at some points it was hard to push through the everyday mundane things but I promise if you do it will help you understand about Dani’s everyday life, but I think that it is that way to show us readers what it’s like inside someone else’s mind that has endured horrible things and still trying hard to live and not just go through the motions. Lachlan aka Mr. Taylor aka Dani’s counselor is an amazing character because he doesn’t want to fix Dani, he wants to help her, get to know her better, and figure out ways she can help herself live life again. He knows it is wrong to catch any feelings or feel the way he does about her so most of the book he stays away and fights any kind of inappropriate thoughts/feelings towards Dani, but things like that never work. As things become more and more complicated Dani still struggles with finding herself and what she wants out of life so after some things happen, she ventures out to find what she wants out of life. It takes some time but thigs work out as they are supposed to and these two find themselves and fate steps in and places them where they need to be at the right time. ( )
