Gut wrenching. Intense. Romantic at it's core.
Out of all the books I've read from Alessandra Hazard, and I've read them all, this has to be the most heartfelt out of all of them. If you're looking for the clear definition of the word ‘forbidden’, you've got this book. It's doesn't make you bawl your eyes out and make you think of that great love, but it makes you consider for a moment that everything you've seen, felt and read, is nothing compared to this.
We've got depressing stories (tragic).
Sweet nothing stories (Romantic but overall non-realistic). Sixteen candles stories (high school).
Overwhelming stories (too intense).
Slice of life stories (Realistic but still fictional).
Etcetera, etcetera.
You could say Alessandra mixes some of these when she's writing to make it compelling, in her own way. But with this book it worked a little too well. Jamil and Rohan have a twisted journey up ahead of them, with only you to see it.
‘I want you, I need you but I can't have you’ fits perfectly into this one.
