MY REVIEW - THE FULL 5 STARS
I knew when I cried over a chalk board that this book would slay me, and boy it did in the best possible way. From the title I'd expected a bouncy rom-com, this does have some wonderful humorous touches but is far deeper and more emotional than that.
The characters are just so well written that you can't help but fall in love with them. Jade is such a wonderful mix of broken, strong and vulnerable but she still manages to raise a smile and make the best of the situation she is in. Cash is such a dark horse at first and given his job you'd almost expect him to be all Alpha male. But no, he often got his way, although it was usually it was in line with Jade's best interests and was always from a caring point of view. The tattoo on Cash's tells you everything you need to know about him. Both of them are far from perfect but it is this that gives them their humanity. The side characters also had depth to them and brought something to the table - especially Aria.
The continually evolving 'dis'Agreement brings both moments of humour and also of emotion. I loved every single time the agreement was mentioned and how it allowed them to communicate.
I found the story to be really well written, the plot had a few elements I could guess ahead of time but the majority was genuinely fresh and unique. The story flows so well and the author really tied up all loose ends in a very believable way. I was totally caught up with Jade and Cash's story, so much so that it was only because my eyelids wouldn't stay open that I eventually put it down.
The book was just full of emotion, making me laugh, cry, feel anxious, giving me hope and best of all was the deep and abiding love. It's easy to 'tell' me a character feels something but to have me feel it to takes the sort of writing you find in this story. If you've never read this author before this is a wonderful book to start with and I really do recommend it as one to make sure you read.
Author Bio
Leddy Harper had to use her imagination often as a child. She grew up the only girl in a house full of boys. At the age of fourteen, she decided to use that imagination and wrote her first book, and never stopped.
She often calls writing her therapy, using it as a way to deal with issues through the eyes of her characters.
She is now a mother of three girls, leaving her husband as the only man in a house full of females.
The decision to publish her first book was made as a way of showing her children to go after whatever it is they want to. Love what you do and do it well. Most importantly Leddy wanted to teach them what it means to overcome their fears.
