Exodus by Kate Stewart

Synopsis:

Can you live a lie?

It’s a ghost town, this place that haunts me, the one that made me.

It’s clear to me that I’ll never outgrow Triple Falls or outlive the time I spent here.

I can still feel them all, my boys of summer.

Even when I’d sensed the danger, I gave in.

I didn’t heed a single warning. I let my sickness, my love, both rule and ruin me. I played my part, eyes wide open, tempting fate until it delivered.

There was never going to be an escape.

All of us are to blame for what happened. All of us serving our own sentences. We were careless and reckless, thinking our youth made us indestructible, exempt from our sins, and it cost us all.

I’m done pretending I didn’t leave the largest part of me between these hills and valleys, between the sea of trees that hold my secrets.

It’s the reason I’m back. To make peace with my fate.

And if I can’t grieve enough to cure myself in my time here, I’ll remain sick. That will be my curse.

But it’s time to confess, to myself more so than any other, that I’d hindered my chances because of the way I was built, and because of the men who built me.

At this point, I just want to make peace with who I am, no matter what ending I get.

Because I can no longer live a lie.

My Review:

I'm totally at a loss for words. this book... oh this book..😭😭😭😭

the heartbreak..

"If you had waited for me, I would have given you the opposite of nothing." 😔

No one prepared me for chapter 25.. I would never not beable to read this line without crying, 

"We love rainy days, don’t we, baby?"


"Are you happy?... So f... happy pup."😢

The nerve of this man.. after finally getting her life back on track NOW NOW NOW he shows up? MEN!!

"My future has no more room for tears." Mine either!!

This book took me through all of the emotions!! Call me sadistic because I loved it!!
