The Save Me Series #6
KU e-book
Author: Aly Stiles
Matty Silva has everything. He’s the rockstar, the pretty boy, the one every woman (and a few men) wants and every man wants to be. But they love an “image”, the part he plays for the masses in order to survive. NO one really knows him or loves him. Well, not really. His brother Alex loves him deeply and his best friend, Britt, can see through the pain and all the smoke and mirrors and love him like no one else.
Britt has loved Matt since the lost, scared kid from Brazil showed up in her second grade class. Everyone loves the image he puts out into the world, but she’s always loved the sad, beautiful, lonely boy trapped in the gorgeous man. She understands his pain. She loves him unconditionally. All she needs is to make him understand. And to do that, he has to break the cycle of self-destruction he threw himself in. She will do anything to catch him when he falls.
I have been wanting to read Matty’s story since we met him in Falling North. He’s such a beautiful broken soul that you, like Britt, can’t help fall in love with.
It’s a slow burn because Matty goes through many emotional hurdles to understand he’s loved, that he deserves to be loved. To be honest, he even has to learn what love really is.
It’s emotional, it’s heartbreaking and you’d expect from Aly Stiles. Beautiful!
Note: Again, kudos to Aly for portraying my Brazilian boys perfectly. No stereotypes, perfect Portuguese, everything! That’s how you do it, folks!
