I’ve realized that love conquers all and anything which is especially apparent in Real and in my life. Which makes him shake his head and laugh because he has always loved me, even on my bad days when I feel triggered the most or when I’m so depressed I can hardly move. Yet my husband and I have been together for ten years, and to this day I still ask if he loves me even though I’m like this. Reading about Remington touched my heart and soul because honestly like Remy, I didn’t think anyone would love me like this. I am not afraid to talk about this or the darkness that looms over me because I want to help others. I will always have those scars and I will probably have PTSD for the rest of my life, but I am healing slowly but surely healing. Things got better after that, I decided to get help and six years later I am healing. The entire time in college I had ringing in my ears, unbearable and constant anxiety, nightmares and the uncomfortable paranoia of being in a crowded room. I went to the doctor’s office, got tested and was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. It got to the point where my husband sat me down, told me he loved me no matter what but I needed to figure things out. Things escalated after that I was constantly angry and anxious, but especially angry. I went throughout college and the entire time I thought I was losing my dang mind! My high school sweetheart and I finally got married when I was twenty one and I moved from home for the first time. However some other events occurred and by the time I was eighteen, I thought I was crazy. Although it wasn’t easy, I kept pushing through even though things still remained difficult I keep going. But I survived that part of my life and even when I tried to end myself, I didn’t die and so…I thought I would try to keep living. I was bullied from both my peers and adults, I was told to go end my life and that I didn’t matter.

I have suffered from depression and anxiety my entire life and when I was fifteen and fourteen I tried to kill myself. Before I get into the giveaway or any of this review, I just wanted to explain why this book is so special to me.
