First Rant:

Ivy is traumatised.

Sexual assault traumatises you. I don't understand how some people missed that.

Ivy loved Jackson but she wasn't ready for a relationship. She messed up, she broke his heart, she's always been a flawed character from the very start.

But the whole point of this book is to invoke empathy and teach people not to judge and instead try to understand why someone might be acting the way they are.

Honestly if you have left any negative comments about Ivy in the last few chapters, I get it, but you should be ashamed.

And I shouldn't say that, I want yous to read the next books and I am sure this will probably make some readers stop reading my other books... but honestly it's disgusting.

There is a whole second book that explains just how much Ivy needed to stop distracting herself from the pain and it highlights why she really needed to leave. She also makes up for breaking Jackson's heart. She does. So read it if you want to. It's probably my best book.

But also... don't read it if you are the sort of person who doesn't understand why Ivy wouldnt try with Jackson. Don't read it if you don't understand why a person who had just been traumatised, her soul ripped out and world changed, wouldn't be ready for a relationship.

Honestly guys ...Grow up. Trauma is not fixed by falling in love. That is not the point of the story. Falling back in love with life and finding the light inside the darkness is not a cure, it just makes the day a little better.

So please remember a thing called empathy, it is what the world who run on.

Sorry to those of you who understand this.

Okay so anyway - prologue for Book 2

Sequel completed❤️ And I love it even more than this book! Ivy and Jackson are back and it's a hella lot messier and complicated but also so much more love and chemistry!! Check it out!

Prologue:
"Ivy you say you don't care about him anymore, that there wasn't anything intense going on between you two last year. But your eyes are always on him, always watching him. Why?."

"It's just...I know him, we know each other Jay. I know him better than i know myself.

I know his birthday, and his middle name, i know where he was born, and his star sign.

I know his parents names, all four of them. I know that his memories get muddles, that he thinks he remembers his dad teaching him to ride a bike but it was actually always his uncle.

I know that that fucks with him at night, and i know that there are so many more reasons why he stays awake staring at the ceiling until 5AM.

I know his eye colour, and the way it changes according to his mood, i know his scars and the freckles on his skin.

I know all his favourites; colour, movie, tv show, song, food.

I know why he turned to alcohol and why he struggled to put it down, and i know how much regret he feels because of it all.

I know the feel of his hands against my body, the way he smiles when he isn't even the slightest bit happy.

Jay i know how the boy likes his tea, i know that he bangs the salt shaker three times before using it and tries not to let anyone see.

I know when to wake him up and when to let him sleep.

I know the thoughts running through his head before i even got the chance to ask, but i also know to ask, because sometimes he says things that are unexpected to me.

Jay, i know him, i know how it feels to be loved by him and i know how it feels to be hated by him.

Right now he hates me, he doesn't want me near.

But i know him, i know somethings not right.

That he's struggling.

For some reason he's fallen out of love with the world and i don't think it has anything to do with me leaving.

There's something else going on.

And i'll be damned if i let him destroy himself in front of me, under my own two eyes."
