Fallon meets Ben, an aspiring novelist, the day before her scheduled cross-country move. Their untimely attraction leads them to spend Fallon’s last day in L.A. together, and her eventful life becomes the creative inspiration Ben has always sought for his novel. Over time and amidst the various relationships and tribulations of their own separate lives, they continue to meet on the same date every year. Until one day Fallon becomes unsure if Ben has been telling her the truth or fabricating a perfect reality for the sake of the ultimate plot twist.
1- POETRY
So, I don't know about you guys but I am crazy when it comes to poetry (mostly in CoHo books).
“She “loved me” in quotations
She kissed me in bold
I TRIED TO KEEP HER in all caps
She left with an ellipsis . . .
-Benton James Kessler”
“In her darkness, she is silent.
In my darkness, she screams.
-Benton James Kessler”
“I am translucent, aquatic.
Drifting, aimless.
She is an anchor, sinking in my sea.
-Benton James Kessler”
"If lies were written, I would erase them
But they are spoken; etched within
With convalesced truth, I scream out my atonement
Let me repent against your skin.
-Benton James Kessler"
2- ROMANTIC
Do I have to explain why this is a big reason? haha, addicted to love stories.
“When you find love, you take it. You grab it with both hands and you do everything in your power not to let it go. You can’t just walk away from it and expect it to linger until you’re ready for it.”
“If we’re going to kiss, it has to be book-worthy.”
"You'll never be able to find yourself if you're lost in someone else."
“If she’s not careful, I might just fall in love with her. Tonight.”
3- FUNNY
I love when books are dramatic, yes. But I love it even more if it has a little humor.
“Sigh"
"Did you just say sigh? out loud? instead of actually sighing" "Eye roll”
“I missed you,” he says. “A lot. And screw it if I’m not supposed to admit that, but I tried the whole alpha-male thing for two seconds and I just can’t do it. So you don’t get alpha-Ben today. I’m sorry.”
“Fucking beautiful,” I whisper.She smiles and then ducks her head. “I feel stupid.”“I barely know you, so I’m not about to argue with you over your level of intelligence, because you could very well be as dumb as a rock. But at least you’re pretty.”
4- INSPIRATION
This book is not just about love, it's about family, courage, overcoming dificult times.
“One of the things I always try to remind myself is that everyone has scars,” she says. “A lot of them even worse than mine. The only difference is that mine are visible and most people’s aren’t.”
“We don't get to choose our parents, and parents don't get to choose their children. But we do get to choose how hard we're willing to work in order to make the best of what we're given.”
5- BENTON ❤
Ok, who doesn´t fall in love with these perfect man that CoHo creates? I know if you give it a try you'll love him just like I did.
“She’s not the kind of girl you choose your battles for. She’s the kind of girl you fight to the death for.”
“I would never let anyone else borrow my heart if I know there’s a chance in hell you might want it back.”
“You left with my soul in your fists and my heart in your teeth, and I don’t want either of them back.”
“Why do you look like you’re in pain?” she asks.
“Because keeping my mouth off you hurts like hell.”
That´s it people, I hope you have enjoyed it, and definitely hope you guys give this book a shot because it's really worth it.
