Age is just a number.
Just like he's just a boy and I'm just a girl.
Except that's not true, is it?
Because fifteen may be a number, but it's bigger than that. Bigger than us.
It's a number that separates us.
An excuse that keeps us apart.
But I'm not willing to give in until I get what I want.
After all, how many other girls can bring a grown man to his knees with one little smile?

Excerpt
“Show me how to play,” I say.
Her body leans back as her brows pinch with a dubious stare.
“You want me to teach you how to play piano?”
“You want me to teach you how to play piano?”
I nod. “The song you played. I like it.”
She blinks, brushing her fingers through her hair. “It’s about learning to love people’s faults and pain for what they are. Beautiful.”
My head cocks. “Why is that?”
She wets her bottom lip. “I guess when you love someone, you don’t get to choose which parts. You’re getting every single piece of their being, scarred or not.”
Her eyes trail to her hand, scarred with white and pink marks. My fingers graze over each one, causing her to suck in a breath and freeze as I caress the marred flesh. They’re rougher than the rest of her hand, but part of her nonetheless.
Meeting her eyes, we stay like that for a few long moments.
Neither of us says a thing or moves an inch. We just remain touching, staring, being there in one another’s company.
Neither of us says a thing or moves an inch. We just remain touching, staring, being there in one another’s company.
Then I pull away. “What are the keys I need to learn for the song?”
She exhales then shows me the basics.
It’s a silent admission between us.
Your scars are beautiful, Charlie.
Rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - 1/2
What an unbelievably great read! This is an age-gap romance like no other I have read before. It that had me CONSUMED wanting to know the outcome!
The story has two parts building. The struggle between Ollie and Charlie to understand and acknowledge how their unique bond is developing and what that means AND the evil that hides in Charlie's dreams. The feelings and emotions are raw!
The second half is dealing with the aftermath. The aftermath of giving in to their attraction and the aftermath of Charlie facing her demons. THIS is where the story gets deep(er). Every letter had me holding my breath wondering if this was the final one. The journey these two go through was emotionally hard because they had to face their struggles alone without the other one there to be the balm they have always been for each other.
If you are looking for a light, hot read, this one's not for you. Hot? Yes! Light? Hell no! Tears? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely!
