this book was exhausting 💆🏻♀️
From USA Today and Washington Post bestselling author L.J. Shen comes a new, standalone romance about first loves, betrayal and loss.
Not all love stories are written the same way. Ours had torn chapters, missing paragraphs, and a bittersweet ending.
Luna Rexroth is everyone’s favorite wallflower.
Sweet.
Caring.
Charitable.
Quiet.
Fake.
Underneath the meek, tomboy exterior everyone loves (yet pities) is a girl who knows exactly what, and who, she wants—namely, the boy from the treehouse who taught her how to curse in sign language.
Who taught her how to laugh.
To live.
To love.
Knight Cole is everyone’s favorite football hero.
Gorgeous.
Athletic.
Rugged.
Popular.
Liar.
This daredevil hell-raiser could knock you up with his gaze alone, but he only has eyes for the girl across the street: Luna.
But Luna is not who she used to be. She doesn’t need his protection anymore.
When life throws a curveball at All Saints’ golden boy, he’s forced to realize not all knights are heroes.
Sometimes, the greatest love stories flourish in tragedy.

Nothing in the world could have prepared me for this book, teasers... NOTHING. I'm just in awe over the fact that Leigh did it again, she brought everything and so much more to tell Knight and Luna's story. And there were just so many facets to it all.
The one word I would use to describe these two is destructive. Night and day, these two were, but they were thick as thieves and so damn loyal to one another. But in their teen years, vulnerabilities were constantly at the forefront. Instead of talking through it, they used other ways to cope with it, which lead them down this long road of uncertainty.

I didn't really enjoy the first book in this new series. I wasn't sure what to expect from Knight's story. I didn't really care who ended up with Luna...no team Knight or Vaughn for me.... when it seemed like L.J. was going to pair one of these guys with Luna. I was just hoping to be more invested in the story and hoped that I would actually like the characters more than I liked Daria and Penn from Pretty Reckless. Boy was I invested and I loved Knight and Luna.
I was not expecting to be wrecked by this book. I was not expecting this Knight to be so different then the Knight that was shown as a man-whore, happy go lucky...Knight. The true Knight was so much more. I didn't realize how much I would love all the f-up facet of him and how deep and I mean deeply he cares.
Don't get me started on Luna. Wow that girl. It was so nice to finally be in her head and know what the heck she was thinking and where her head was. I loved, loved, loved Luna and how she broke out and found her voice.
Luna and Knight and their journey to each other is one bumpy ride. Baggage galore they had to wade through. This author really puts them through the ringer. No matter how much they both said and did some pretty messed up things to one another, one thing that was abundantly clear, is that these two were soul mates and really loved each other. I felt that emotion from page one.
This book really got to me emotionally. I cried so hard and stayed up all night to finish it. There was so much happening. Not just the crazy love story of Knight and Luna but the love story of this tight knit group of friends and their parents. This book was an emotional roller coaster. I was laughing one minute, cringing the next, cheering, frustrated, bawling, falling in love, rooting and then bawling again.
This book surpassed my expectations. I am still emotional and can't stop getting teary eyed about one of the story-lines in this book. I just can't even. Anyway, this is one you can read by itself well, but I highly recommend reading the Sinners of Saint series first (the parent's stories) and then jumping into the All Saints High series (the stories of the Sinners of Saints kids) to really get the full enjoyment and emotions that this book invokes.
