Review "It was the perfect blend of mystery, angst, romance, and a gripping story! I could not put this book down! 5 stars!" ―Aestas Book Blog"A beautiful, emotional story about love, loss, heartbreak, growth, and resilience." ―S.L. Jennings, New York Times Best Selling Author"Every word Claire writes is pure magic." ―Pepper Winters, New York Times Best Selling Author About the Author Claire doesn't like to talk about herself. Because of this, she asked a friend of hers to write her bio. This is what she got: Claire is caring, smart, witty, and funny as heck. Despite being a New York Times Best Selling Author of a popular contemporary romance series, Claire doesn't read many romance novels. However, when she sits down to write, those are the ones that pour from her fingers. Much to her displeasure, we like to say she's a romantic at heart. She lives in Miami with her hot husband, two adorable boys, three bulldogs, and two stray cats that she refuses to admit are hers (even though they live on her porch and she continues to feed them). When she's not writing, she's always lost in a book (the more suspenseful, the better).

Brilliant book
I read Claire's previous 2 books and loved them, love her writing style.This book is a very different storyline, it has everything great characters and depth.The main female character Brooklyn has had a challenging life, particularly her relationship with her parents, she has all the money needed but is lacking in unconditional love and support. This book has it all, music, drugs, humour, love and sadness. Brooklyn suffers from depression, the way Claire described this was amazing, it was detailed and easy to imagine her state of mind at those times the depression took over.Nick was a great character, hot, loving and so supportive of Brooklyn. Nina her cousin was funny, really liked her. I would like to have known if Shea did get help in the end?Love this book and would definitely recommend it.

This one blew me away!
Every now and then a book comes along that has so many ingredients that are used elsewhere (sex, drugs, rockstars, troubled girl....you get the picture) and instead of pulling them together into something mediocre, creates something fantastic. This is one of those books!Not only is it hot, hot, hot, it's also got a soul, the heroine isn't whiny and the hero, although alpha, is at the base of it all a really good guy. No annoying characters here, folks, it's all good!What more can I say? Read it, enjoy it, and Claire, please write more like this.

Not bad!!
I got this at a bargain price and couldnt wait to read as all the reviews were brilliant. Whilst i did enjoy it, for me like the 3 star reviewer has said there was something missing. The storyline worked well and the characters were great, but i felt there were some conversations that should have been had between the main characters over certain issues, but were glossed over instead (difficult to say without spoiling!!). Will be interesting to see if the author does a second book as i think i need more to feel complete. Overall not a bad read and if there was a follow on book i would definatley read (hint, hint).

Strong words....
I love how this book goes more into talkin about depression rather than the normal I'm depressed so don't get out of bed for a week which is what you get in most books. I love how the ups and downs and sometimes feeling nothing at all and how it comes in bursts not there all the time. It's so true... I like how it talks about the bad side of drug rather than the oh yea were going out and doing a line and it's just a weekend best buzz ever type weekend as a lot know it just doesn't happen like that it consumes you and breaks you.. but most off all I love the story... thank you it saw me through another day which is why I read a book a day except this was in the top league right up there with Paige....x..

Take a chance on this.
Let me just say, i am not one to cry during books. But i can't deny the tears i shed during reading this, this book is beautifully written in a way that makes you almost feel what the character is going through. Depression is something i suffer with, and seeing the similarities in what Brooklyn was suffering through, made me see her as a bit of a kindred spirit. I liked that she found someone who cared for her in a way she needed, I totally fell in love with this book, finished it wanting more. Well done to this writer, i will definitely be reading more her.

CATCH ME
WOW! What a book! I have not read such a good book for ages I have loved everyone of the characters and the book has kept me reading and not once did I skip a page being bored. This covers so many problems with a couple of people that make you want to laugh and cry. I would love this author to write a book about Shea and his journey forward. I Can't say much about the book as I would not like to give anything away but just say it is sooooo meaningful and hits lots of raw nerves but also romantic. I would recommend this book 100%

OMG WHAT A BOOK!!!!!
First book to read in 2014 and I will find it hard to top this,It was so real and not over the top like some books and I really invested in the main characters, especially bee and nick,The dynamic and sometimes toxic relationships we have in our life sometimes gets filtered in books but not in this one, it was so real..The pull that these two had on one another I could understand and loved,Thankyou claire for the amazing book,Please give this book a chance you won't be dissapointed,

do yourself a favour and read this book.
I honestly dont know when I bought this book, but it was one of the best books ive honestly read.So heart wrenchingly and lovingly written by Claire Contreras.It is a truly awesome story, of love, pain, depression, death and never feeling good enough, that you could actually feel it on every page. I have highlighted so many lines, cause they spoke to me, you feel nothing but love for Brooklyn, well I did. She is strong but gets lost in her dark thoughts. I suggest to sit back and go on Brooks journey of learning to cope and think differently,and of falling in love.its beautiful to read.once it sucks you in its very hard to put down. 5★★★★★ brilliant.
