Not all love stories are written the same way. Ours had torn chapters, missing paragraphs, and a bittersweet ending.
Luna Rexroth is everyone’s favorite wallflower.
Sweet.
Caring.
Charitable.
Quiet.
Fake.
Underneath the meek, tomboy exterior everyone loves (yet pities) is a girl who knows exactly what, and who, she wants—namely, the boy from the treehouse who taught her how to curse in sign language.
Who taught her how to laugh.
To live.
To love.
Knight Cole is everyone’s favorite football hero.
Gorgeous.
Athletic.
Rugged.
Popular.
Liar.
This daredevil hell-raiser could knock you up with his gaze alone, but he only has eyes for the girl across the street: Luna.
But Luna is not who she used to be. She doesn’t need his protection anymore.
When life throws a curveball at All Saints’ golden boy, he’s forced to realize not all knights are heroes.
Sometimes, the greatest love stories flourish in tragedy.

REVIEW

My goodness. I will keep this short because if I start talking about how this book made me feel, I’ll give things away. Just know it’s incredibly well written, a beautiful story that encompasses years of friendship, selflessness, a story filled with angst, heartbreak and all types of emotional turmoil. It’s not an easy book to read, it’s frustrating at times and emotional in all the others. I found myself tearing up left and right, more so in the last 30% of the book. Those 30% completely wrecked me, body and soul. This is a story I will never forget, nor will I forget the way it made me feel. It hurt, it hurt so bad but that’s what made the story so amazing, the fact that I connected with it and felt every single moment between these characters like they were my family and friends. Those are the best kind of books for me, the ones that hurt the most, that touch deep, the ones you can relate to. This book was a masterpiece. Definitely one of L J Shen’s best ones, one I loved beyond comprehension and one I will never ever forget.

This couple is one of the most precious couples I have encountered. I love both Luna and Knight so so damn much. But this book was so much more than just Knight and Luna going from best friends to lovers. It was about overcoming your hurts, not being scared of being yourself and saying your piece, it was about family and a tight neat group that no matter what stuck together through and freaking through. I love these characters so much and I would love to say so much more about all of them and what they want through but I'm gonna shush now. Pick up this book, read it and love it with all you got. Knight needs your love and trust me, his story might break you but it will make you a better you and the tears will all be worth it.


Excerpt:

Right now I wanted to just be here in silence with my best friend. And somehow, I don’t know how, but Luna sensed it. So we sat there for what felt like two hours but was probably a lot less, until I opened my eyes again. Her eyes were closed, too. I watched her for a while.
When she opened her eyes, it felt like she took something away from me.
“Let’s jump,” she said.
“I’m quite fond of my limbs, Moonshine.”
“Stop being such a big baby.”
“Big, quarterback baby who just finished a football season in one piece and would like to keep all his body parts intact.”
She crawled out of the treehouse and settled on the branch. It was thick, but I doubted it could carry my muscular ass for more than a few seconds before snapping. I rolled my eyes and settled next to her. She slipped her hand in mine.
“Three, two, one.”
It was a short, sweet way down.
