This story is full of heartbreak but there is always a light in the darkness, you just have to find it. There is a good sense of character development with Cy who starts off as a bullying jerk, a broken young man, and finally develops into someone not quite whole but redeemed none the less. The sexual abuse in this story was quite devastating to read and hit close to home in many ways. Unfortunately, this type of abuse happens way to often and goes unnoticed and unpunished. The author did a great job of showing how this type of trauma can negatively affect your life on so many levels but speaking out and getting help can save your sanity. The love story of Cy and Eve at first seemed a bit contrived being that he bullied her so terribly in high school and she was able to get past it so easily. Bullying can leave very deep scars behind so I felt like we should have seen a little bit more resistance from Evie. As I read on, the love story did began to seem more genuine and the love, patience, and support that Evie bestowed upon Cy makes her a saint in my book. It was a very heartfelt story and if you can stomach some of the graphic sexual abuse "scenes" then it is definitely worth the read. There was a good amount of great sex between Cy and Evie to balance it out.

Where I End was an okay read for me. This story focuses on Eve, Cy, Cy's mom Clarissa and his step-dad Everett. Growing up Cy has experience something no child/teenager should experience and it's finally taken its toll. His mom doesn't and haven't believe him in all the years he has told her and she has done nothing to change the situation and he's told no one else. Eve is sweet, caring and is the target of Cy's bullying throughout high school. Things take a turn when Cy's about to do something Eve can't let happen when she's around and that changes things for both of them. Eventually, Cy has to lean on someone but also admit what he really feels.
I thought Eve excuses for what Cy put her through wasn't okay. He basically bullied her and that wasn't okay in any way; in what world is bullying okay? It was almost as if what happened to him gave him an excuse to be a douche to her. I think that what Cy went through should have made him more humble. Someone hurt him so he had the right to hurt someone else? No. I don't care if it was only emotionally. There was no excuse in the way he treated her. No matter how long ago it was. Yes, you forgive but you don't brush it off as if it didn't mean anything. I hated his mom for not believing him and I hated Everett even more. I really liked Parker; he was a great friend and supporter. Don't get me wrong I loved Eve, but I hated how she brushed things off.
I finished the book in one sitting because the author wrote it in a way that really captured my attention and she honestly left me wanting more. She gave us a sweet ending. However, as you can see there were things I liked and disliked about the story, but to be honest it felt depressing when in the beginning it was light and fun. I didn't feel that deep connection between the Eve and Cy I was looking for. There definitely wasn't any lack of action in this book and this story never slowed once. The writing was perfect: the storyline and the flow of the story. It's the characters actions that made this story and okay read. However, I would read more books from this author simply because she wrote the story in a way that I didn't want to put it down or stop reading.
