Excerpt:
"I’m tough as a nail Sharp as a blade. But I’m still lying here... In the mess you made. Jagged and broken, dull and washed out. Everywhere I turn... I breathe you in and bleed you out."
Phoenix and Lennon. Both broken, their issues are real, their struggles are relatable, their love is heartbreaking and heartwarming.
An unlikely friendship develops between two teens. Their love for music binds them.
Phoenix, the good looking, poor kid, smart but struggling in school and his only love is his band. Lennon, the rich kid, who's not your typical "Barbie", shy with a passion for writing songs.
Their English teacher asks Lennon to help Phoenix so he can graduate on time. She discovers the problem and does all she can to help him succeed. A friendship develops. An attraction grows.
Just when things were starting to get better between them, Phoenix gets an opportunity of a lifetime. The only problem, he needs to steal something from Lennon if he wants to make his dream a reality.
Years later, Phoenix is in trouble again. And the only person who can help him is Lennon. Lennon is in dire need of money to help care for her sick dad. And a person that can help her is Phoenix.
What was a beginning of a volatile relationship, becomes a complicated series of the truth revealing what neither of them wanted to tell. What does he have to do to make amends to the woman he has always loved? What does she need to accept and forgive the only man she has ever loved?
The Words has all the feels, the emotional roller coaster, the heartbreak and steamy scenes that will keep you reading till the very end. My soul dog, Pippa, gives it a 6 licks rating.
