BLOG TOUR: ESCAPE THE DOUBT
Good day, bookworms! Today I'll be reviewing Escape the Doubt by Andrea Michelle as part of her blog tour. I receive an ARC from Enticing Journey in exchange for an honest review. It's a young adult romance story but it is also much more than that so here we go!
Synopsis:
After the unexpected death of her
Dad and the haunting manner in which he died, Riley Shaw built invisible walls
around her heart. Barriers she created to protect her from splintering into
broken pieces that couldn’t be repaired. She was unable to move forward from
her past, letting the guilt of her parent’s mistakes dictate her own
choices.
Dean Warren was safe. Being with him was innocent and peaceful
because she didn’t truly love him. His words held her captive in a false sense
of security. His eyes were deceptive, and his promises of never pushing her
beyond what she was willing to give were broken, leaving Riley Shaw in a state
of regret and doubt.
Joshua Parker had the power to take what was left
of Riley’s splintered pieces, and ruin her completely or make her whole again.
He was her best friend, her next-door neighbor - everything she wanted and
settled on never having. Loving him was as easy as breathing air. The fear of
losing him forever was more real to her than the feelings she couldn’t
escape.
When faced with the very thing she feared the most and in the
arms she thought were safe, Riley finds herself questioning every decision she
has made over the past two years. When she finally escapes the doubt in her
head and accepts the truth in her heart is it too late?
Is taking a
chance with your heart worth the escape or was it better to have never loved at
all? Can forgiveness really set you free?
*Warning: This is a mature
young adult novel. Recommended for readers 17+ due to underage drinking, sexual
content and adult language.
*This is book one in a series however can be
read as a standalone.
This is a beautiful, heartbreaking love story about two teens struggling for their love towards each other while coping with their other life dilemmas at the same time. Everyone has gone through that particular phase where we fell in love for the first time and our times during high school. That is what exactly what I get from reading Escape the Doubt. We can relate well with the story and characters because it happened to most of us at some point in our life.
