Review: When the Stars Fall by Emery Rose

When the Stars Fall by Emery Rose
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from the author and Wildfire Marketing Solutions. This is my honest review.

I binged this book all today today and now I'm finished and I'm emotional wrecked from everything I've experienced during this novel. This is a slow paced, slow burn novel that kept me in suspense but also frustrated me to no end.

There is SOO much that happens in this book. Most of which was heart wrenching and legit brought me to tears.

Lila is a warrior. She goes through such trauma when she's younger, then goes through more emotional pain when she gets older. The thing is, she doesn't let it break her. She fights over and over again, make sure she survived on the other side. Whether it means her decision should be a second chance or to finally let go, Lila is not afraid to do the right thing.

And Jude... I gotta say, for the majority of this book, I really didn't like him. Obviously that didn't change my 5 star rating of this book, but he's a bit challenging for me. I hate how he acted on his 18th birthday with Lila. I hated how he got to do what he wanted, but restricted Lila's life and took away her ability to decide things for herself. I hated that he made the biggest decision of his life without once thinking about the woman he loves until it was too late to change anything. I hate how he didn't even try to listen to Lila before throwing in the towel. So many options to get help, but no.

So yeah, this book is deep. It's heavy. It's real and emotional and heartbreaking but uplifting. I feel like a train hit me, but I know this book will stay with me for a long time coming. And now I absolutely, 100% need Brody's book. And Jude's brothers too? But Brody - I really need it to happen.

I'm so glad I got to read this book and I'm looking forward to more soon!
