The Words, Ashley Jade

Story Blurb

He was the talented bad boy everyone wanted.

I was the irrelevant geek everyone hated.

He was the sun...drawing all of us in.

I was a black hole...taking up space.

He was destined to be a star.

I was destined to remain an insignificant no one.

Until he made me believe I was special...

And then he destroyed me.

I never thought I'd see Phoenix Walker again after he broke my heart, but fate had other plans.

One tour. Eight weeks. Forty shows.

Countless opportunities to make him pay.

The world thought he was a God...

But I knew the truth.

My Thoughts/Opinion

I like the first part of this story in their teen years. It did a good job of setting up the conflict and, as importantly, their traumas. Very well done. I also liked the set up of the FMC getting to exact revenge as an adult. I think the story was good, but in my opinion, it went on way too long. The ending was a little meh also. I had a hard time with the overt juxtaposition of the roles. It didn't ring true to me.
