Summary

There are those who don’t get luck handed to them on a shiny platter, who end up in the wrong place at the wrong time, who don’t get saved.

Luck was not on Callie’s side the day of her twelfth birthday when everything was stolen from her. After it’s all over, she locks up her feelings and vows never to tell anyone what happened. Six years later her painful past consumes her life and most days it’s a struggle just to breathe.

For as long as Kayden can remember, suffering in silence was the only way to survive life. As long as he did what he was told, everything was okay. One night, after making a terrible mistake, it seems like his life might be over. Luck was on his side, though, when Callie coincidentally is in the right place at the right time and saves him.

Now he can’t stop thinking about the girl he saw at school, but never really knew. When he ends up at the same college as Callie, he does everything he can to try to get to know her. But Callie is reserved and closed off. The more he tries to be part of her life, the more he realizes Callie might need to be saved.(Goodreads)

Review

For everyone who wasn’t saved.

After reading the dedication I knew I was heading into an emotional journey and needless to say it packed quite the punch in my heart. If you’re looking for a predictable romance this is not the book for you, don’t get me wrong, there are some very sweet and touching scenes but over all this is more about the struggles of two characters that suffered in their past and have only hope for a better future.

 Sorensen does a phenomenal job in portraying these characters to her reader’s. I instantly connected with Callie and Kayden and I was cheering for them to find their HEA together since their connection was so strong but when you are dealing with abuse and violence in your past it’s not easy to progress forward.

 

“I can do pain. That’s the easy part of life. It’s everything else, happiness, laughter, love, that’s fucking complicated.”

As the story unfolds we see Callie and Kayden’s relationship move forward and looking forward to see how far these two will come until *spoiler* happens and that is how The Coincidence of Callie and Kayden ends! A big ole’ cliffhanger that is just shocking!! So as I sit on my thumbs and wait for the next installment I would like my fellow friends to join me in my misery!
