About this listen

He walked a tightrope five stories up just to hold my hand....

Gaze: I moved into the building next to Pixie when I was 11. She blew bubbles through my window. I shot my Nerf gun through hers. We both had secrets, but one of us was fated to get hurt. I wanted it to be me.

...She walked a tightrope five stories up just to save my life.

Pixie: When I was afraid of the dark, he would shine a light in my window. We shared our popsicles, and I taught him how to get a good swing on the playground. I never imagined I’d have to decide who got to live and who didn’t. I chose him, and he could never know.

Wow… get ready to the feels!!

I haven’t read a book with this amount of emotions in a long time. What these two characters endured was intense and how they persevered is perhaps the greatest miracle of all. Sadly, the topics that were addressed in this book are far too common in today’s society.

WHY ISNT THIS BOOK MORE POPULAR?!

I've re read this book so many time in the last year and I cannot express how soul wrenching beautiful this book is.
I laughed, I cried, and even screamed once or twice but will never stop recommending this book to others. I still find myself months later thinking about Pixie and Gaze along with all the other Pixie Ray's in the world and am baffled that this book isn't more well known!

if you're reading this review than this is YOUR SIGN to give it a try. I promise you won't be disappointed. 💛🌌

I loved this book. Amazing emotional rollercoaster. A perfect story. Definitely a coming to age with very realistic criteria.

What a coming of age story!

Pixie and Gaze meet when they're eleven. He just moved to the building across from hers. She blows bubbles through the window and he shoots them back at her. Both of them have complicated life situations and pretty soon they're best friends, looking after each other. One day, when things go really south for Gaze, Pixie has to make a choice: her safety and his trust or his life and future. She doesn't hesitate: she choses him.
Years pass and Fate always has a way to bring together people who are just meant to be. But, will Gaze forgive Pixie for betraying his trust?
This is an epic love story. A coming of age tale of people destined to be together but who have been handed a shitty hand by Destiny, Pixie is adorable and you spend the whole time trying to jump into the book to protect her. You root for Gaze too and hope that the life in a way gifted to him by Pixie will not be shattered by the past coming back to haunt them.
It's sweet and heartbreaking and when everything comes together at the end you let out a huge sigh of relief as no one deserves to be happy together more than these two.
Note: Gaze's new family is just EVERYTHING.
Narration: Narrated with so much heart and emotion by the incomparable Rose Dioro, who brings all of Pixie's badassery and vulnerability with perfection. Benjamin Charles has one of "those voices": it's warm, soothing at the same time bringing all the feels in his performance.

Perfectly beautiful

This book had me enamores from the beginning. From the characters to the storyline, it painted a picture of real life struggles and strength to fight back against the demons that haunt you. Simply breathtaking.
