Picture
Rev works hard to keep the demons of the time before his adoption at bay ... until a letter from his father after his 18th birthday brings the trauma of his childhood hurtling back.
Emma escapes real life by perfecting the online game she built from scratch. Coding is way easier than facing her parents' nasty relationship or the growing distance with her best friend ... But when an online troll's harassment starts to escalate, she fears for her safety.
When Rev and Emma meet, they're buckling under the weight of their secrets. Though both of them find it hard to put their problems into words, they connect instantly and deeply. Rev and Emma's problems might be worlds apart, but they promise to help each other no matter what.
But promises are made to be tested and some things hurt more than we can tell.

My review

~I was sent a copy from the publishers-all opinions are my own~

I give it
- 5/5

My review - I ADORED this book. I read it in one sitting and just absolutely fell in love with it. Brigid has a wonderful writing style and I just adore this book, the characters, the plot just, all of it. It is a feel good book but, full of drama, family relationships, trying to figure out your future and letting go of your past.

In this book we follow Rev and Emma. Emma prefers the virtual world to the real world. She has created her very own online game that people play and she is proud of that. She wants to show her father, who creates games as well but, not her mother who wants her to follow in her footsteps of becoming a doctor. But, the virtual world isn't all happy for her. With someone sending horrible messages to her and it makes her upset, can she figure out whose behind the messages?

Rev had a hard childhood. He doesn't like to talk about it and only a few people know about him. He lives with his foster family and all seems to be okay until, he receives a letter from his father and his childhood trauma comes flying back.

When Rev and Emma meet, they are able to unload their problems on each other. They have someone to talk to, to vent too and just someone they can get away with from their problems. Until, their problems catch them up. Rev knows he needs to tell his family about the letter and Emma knows she needs to tell someone about the threatening messages she is receiving. Can these two help each other with their problems and get rid of them or, will it be too late?

I really enjoyed this book. It was about two people, who have different problems trying to figure out what to do. I can understand why Emma didn't tell anyone at first. She didn't want people to just say 'well, what did a girl expect playing an online game' because it's so true. Girls do get harassed online for being female and enjoying these games and this book shows that. It also talks about internet safety as you don't really know who you're talking too online, even if you start to trust them....

Rev has had a tough childhood and just wants to forget his past, he has a great friend (someone we might have met before in a previous book) a great family and he loves his new family. But, with this letter it causes a whole lot of new problems for him. He wants to forget his past, forget what he was put through but, with this burning a hole in pocket.

They have a great relationship and I loved watching the spark grow between them. They have their problems and some times don't listen to each other but, they know how to care for each other and help each other and I just loved it!
