Not all love stories are written the same way. Ours had torn chapters, missing paragraphs, and a bittersweet ending.
Luna Rexroth is everyone’s favorite wallflower.
Sweet.
Caring.
Charitable.
Quiet.
Fake.
Underneath the meek, tomboy exterior everyone loves (yet pities) is a girl who knows exactly what, and who, she wants—namely, the boy from the treehouse who taught her how to curse in sign language.
Who taught her how to laugh.
To live.
To love.
Knight Cole is everyone’s favorite football hero.
Gorgeous.
Athletic.
Rugged.
Popular.
Liar.
This daredevil hell-raiser could knock you up with his gaze alone, but he only has eyes for the girl across the street: Luna.
But Luna is not who she used to be. She doesn’t need his protection anymore.
When life throws a curveball at All Saints’ golden boy, he’s forced to realize not all knights are heroes.
Sometimes, the greatest love stories flourish in tragedy.

MY REVIEW
Intensely passionate. Downright addictive. Absolutely consuming.
I was so NOT ready for this book! This book MUST be read! From the very beginning the characters wrapped themselves around my heart with their story. It is touching, emotional and heartbreaking. It is so exquisitely written that you feelevery second.
I don't know how LJ Shen does it, but she manages to reach inside of me and twist my insides into knots while simultaneously making me beg for more of her brand of torture.
I loved Luna's growth in this book. She seemed a little to meek and docile for the dark and brooding Knight in the beginning. Her strength eventually breaks through.
Knight is so dark and brooding but, at the same time, has a heart of gold. I can say he made me so angry throughout this book. He had a lot of growing up to do but I am truly satisfied with the outcome.
Luna is a selective mute who has been protected and sheltered her whole life by her family and her best friend Knight.
Knight is popular, sexy and broken.
Luna and Knight are the best of friends but also star-crossed lovers. From a very young age they new they would be together. But when life happens, these lovers who have been intertwined their whole life start to come apart at the seems.
Both are adrift and they try to find their way without each other. Will they be able to grow and find out who they truly are? If they do, will it be too late to find out who they could've been together?
EXCERPT
Right now I wanted to just be here in silence with my best friend. And somehow, I don’t know how, but Luna sensed it. So we sat there for what felt like two hours but was probably a lot less, until I opened my eyes again. Her eyes were closed, too. I watched her for a while.
When she opened her eyes, it felt like she took something away from me.
“Let’s jump,” she said.
“I’m quite fond of my limbs, Moonshine.”
“Stop being such a big baby.”
“Big, quarterback baby who just finished a football season in one piece and would like to keep all his body parts intact.”
She crawled out of the treehouse and settled on the branch. It was thick, but I doubted it could carry my muscular ass for more than a few seconds before snapping. I rolled my eyes and settled next to her. She slipped her hand in mine.
“Three, two, one.”
It was a short, sweet way down.
