Summary:

Nineteen-year-old Cromwell Dean is the rising star of electronic dance music. Thousands of people adore him. But no one knows him. No one sees the color of his heart.

Until the girl in the purple dress. She sees through the walls he has built to the empty darkness within.

When Cromwell leaves behind the gray skies of England to study music in the South Carolina heat, the last thing he expects is to see her again. And he certainly doesn’t expect that she’ll stay in his head like a song on repeat.

Bonnie Farraday lives for music. She lets every note into her heart, and she doesn’t understand how someone as talented as Cromwell can avoid doing the same. He’s hiding from his past, and she knows it. She tries to stay away from him, but something keeps calling her back.

Bonnie is the burst of color in Cromwell’s darkness. He’s the beat that makes her heart skip.

But when a shadow falls over Bonnie, it’s up to Cromwell to be her light, in the only way he knows how. He must help her find the lost song in her fragile heart. He must keep her strong with a symphony only he can compose.

A symphony of hope.
A symphony of love.
A symphony of them.

 

My Thoughts:

This story was truly heart wrenching and gripping at the same time. I damn well knew that I was going to have my heart ripped out, but I still went on to read it anyway. Reading that you may be thinking that I regret reading it? In all honesty no I don’t, I’m glad that I did pick it up an I got to read a beautiful love story like Cromwell and Bonnie.

The cover for this book I think is poetic justice in its own. It completely represents the story in an exquisite way.

Cromwell Dean is a 19-year-old rising star DJ. He is beyond talented, he has his issues with music and his own personal demons. He goes to collage in the states and there is where he meets his other half.

Bonnie has a twin named Easton and they both attend the same collage that Cromwell is attending, he also happens to be Easton’s roommate.

When Bonnie and Cromwell first meet in England on a beach, it wasn’t the greatest but after the conversation they had it stirred something in him. They then go their separate ways not thinking that they would see one another again until collage that is. They had a few classes together and in one of there classes she is pired up with him for a school project. At first there both at one another’s heads until one night when she seems him playing the piano. That’s the moment everything changed for them.

This book was clearly one that had me in so many emotions that I don’t even think that I’m able to put them into words for my review. I just finished this book and I really don’t know what to say.

What I do know is that Tillie always has a way with words that make me interested in the books that she puts out. When I first heard about this book I knew it was one that I wanted to read, even though I knew it was going to make me cry like a baby. I didn’t let that stop me. I wanted to be able to distance my self from the book because I didn’t want to cry but that didn’t happen at all either. After chapter 20 I was reading through tears. Every time I picked the book up to read just more tears came.

Tille Cole is an exceptional author to be able to have so many emotions happen while reading. This is defiantly a unique story in its own. I think that’s why it made it even more special. It will also have a special place in my heart.

I am positive that my review is all over the place because I just finished this an I wanted to get my thoughts out about it. Even though it is jumbled I still hope you all enjoyed it.
