After a terrible incident that left scars on Olivia's body
and soul, she decides to go to a college in Charleston
instead of her originally planned Columbia. At least there
with all the beauty in the nature, people won't give her
pitying looks. She hopes for some time to heal with the help
of a new therapist and some family distance, but what she
doesn't expect is a man named Preston, her roommate's best
friend, to come into the picture. Their chemistry is
electric, but neither is ready for a relationship...or so
they
say. The two will both have to overcome their past if they
want any chance together now.
Overflowing with real emotion, crushing memories, and
hopeful moments, PIECES OF OLIVIA is a new adult romance
that captures your heart from the first chapter and doesn't
give it back. Olivia is such a memorable and realistic main
character whose trying to find herself again, or maybe even
for the first time, after a tragic accident changes her
world. Her courageous attempts to rebuild herself with a
little help from her friends is so touching, and she
displays both a strength and vulnerability that make you
want to give her a thumbs up and a chocolate cake. Though
Preston definitely contributes to her growing strength, as
well as she to his, there is incredible beauty in her
journey of finding the strength to continue in life in
herself.
Preston is a heart-warming and sexy love interest, and I
have so much love for what's left a mark on him from his
past. I haven't seen that particular issue from the male
perspective brought up in a New Adult before (that I've
read), and it's so refreshing and just makes your heart
melt. The secondary characters, especially Kara, flow well
with the story, and I can't wait to see more of them.
For any fans of romance, New Adult reads, and books about
overcoming grief, PIECES OF OLIVIA is a wonderful book to
grab. I've read Melissa West's Young Adult books and loved
them, and she once again shows off her talent with this new
and different story. I absolutely love it, and I'm so eager
for the next installment!
Olivia Warren used to be a normal girl with a bright future.
But on one fated night, everything changed.
Hiding the scars of her past up her sleeves, Olivia
transfers her enrollment from Columbia University to The
College of Charleston, determined to pursue her own dreams
for the first time in her life.
She intends to allow herself a bit of alone time to heal...
that is, until she meets Preston.
Preston is best friends with her roommate, completely hot,
and off-limits. But the chemistry between them is
instantaneous—and as the pair begins to spend more time with
one another, their feelings for each other build into
something undeniable, something powerful enough to heal
Olivia’s deepest scars.
Olivia tries to put her own past behind her and trust
Preston, but she discovers that his past might be more
present than she ever bargained for…
