Ellie McCallum was a bully. No connection to anyone or anything. A sad and lonely existence for a young woman who had come to expect nothing more for herself. Her only happiness coming from making others miserable.
Particularly Freaky Flynn.
Flynn Hendrick lived a life completely disconnected even as he struggled to become something more than that boy with Asperger's. He was taunted and teased, bearing the brunt of systematic and calculated cruelty, ultimately culminating in a catastrophic turn of events that brought Ellie and Flynn’s worlds crashing down.
But then Flynn and Ellie grew up.
And moved on.
Until years later when their paths unexpectedly cross again and the bully and the freak are face to face once more.
When labels come to define you, finding yourself feels impossible. Particularly for two people disconnected from the world who inexplicably find a connection in each other.
And out of the wreckage of their tragic beginnings, an unlikely love story unfolds.
But a painful past doesn’t always want to let go. And old wounds are never truly healed…and sometimes the further you try to run from yourself the closer you come to who you really are.
J'ai dévoré ce livre, si beau et poignant!!!! Gros coup de coeur.
Ellie et Flynn sont attachants. Je n'ai pas détesté Ellie autant que je l'aurais cru au départ. Elle est loin d'être parfaite et a été très dure avec Flynn mais être dans sa tête nous permet de comprendre certaines choses. Flynn est très attachant. Il souffre d'autisme à hauts potentiels, Asperger, et, de ce fait, a été le souffre douleur de sa classe d'un petit groupe dont le chef de file était Ellie. Malgré ça et derrière le dos de ses amis, Ellie va se rapprocher de Flynn et ils vont devenir amis. Jusqu'à ce qu'elle parte en prison pour mineurs... Plusieurs années plus tard, ils se retrouvent et certaines choses sont les mêmes alors que d'autres ont changé!
C'est une histoire très attendrissante qui m'a beaucoup touchée! Je la recommande vivement!!!
