Ryleigh Andrews what did you do to me?!? I am so thrilled and heart broken over this book. I was hooked right from the start. To be honest, I was a bit surprised that it took me so long to finish reading this, considering how much I really enjoyed the story. Oh, and this is a debut novel to boot! The writing was on point for who the characters were and the story that was being told. The amount of emotion she was able to bring forth from me in the telling of this tale was what really blew me away.
Bring Me You tells the story of budding musician Mia and world famous athlete Ethan. When a mutual friend introduces them, it is as if time stands still. The attraction was instantaneous and from that first night their connection only grew. Mia is sassy yet shy. Her vulnerability is what really endeared her to me. She was strong for everyone around her but didn't know how to ask for the help she wanted and needed. Ethan was an atypical superstar athlete. Yes he was strong, rich and sexy but he was also sweet, considerate and patient. I loved how at ease, flirty and playful they were with each other. It just went to prove how well suited they are for one another.
As time goes on, Mia and Ethan's connection only deepens. This is impressive because life is constantly pulling them in opposite directions. Ethan has practice, games and other events that send him all over. Mia has recording, touring and press events for things with her band. The time and distance really did a number on the couple. They both struggled to survive without the other. They were truly missing part of themselves when they were apart. I could feel the desperation and longing pouring from them with each tear, missed call or text and day apart. As someone who did long distance I understand that feeling all too well.
The cast of secondary characters also added to the overall relate-ability of the book. Everyone from Luke, Allie, Marty and Todd all played an important role throughout. Though I have to say Luke and Kaitlyn were my favorite out of the gang. They provided a sweetness to help balance some of the heavier matter covered later in the story. I kind of saw Mia's spiral coming but wasn't prepared for what it would lead to.
I absolutely loved that Ryleigh Andrews didn't take the easy way out. She made Mia and Ethan work for their happiness and battle through the hard times. There were parts that were raw, gritty and others that were full of joy. I laughed, cried, closed my e-reader in frustration and sighed with relief. I was not expecting the book to take the turn that it did at about 70 percent in. Just when I think I have it figured out..BANG! Cliffhanger! And what a way to end the story. I can not wait to see what will happen between Ethan and Mia in the next installment of this series.
