I lent my heart to the bad boy, and he did exactly what I expected he would. He broke it.
And the guy I should have been with—he’s still here.
He tries to take my mind off everything I’ve lost while showing me what I could have.
I’m ready for a new start, to fall in love again … to do what I should have done in the first place.
Everything seems perfect.
Then the past comes walking back in.
Everything seems perfect.
Then the past comes walking back in.
I thought I was over him, but one look and I know that’s not true.
We went through too much together for those feelings to completely fade away.
When my past and present collide, how am I supposed to choose?
When my past and present collide, how am I supposed to choose?
They both love me, and I love them.
A heart will be broken … and it could be mine.
My Review
Holy shit.
Okay, since y'all don't get any spoilers from me, and I'm just going to ramble about how much I love this book, let me say this.
My Boy Got His Girl! Yes!
Okay, now that I said that, go read the book and find out who my boy is.
Lila and Blake and Pierce are back full force in this book. There are so many things that each character needs to work through.
There was one big emotion that I went through. It was heartbreak. Earth shattering heartbreak.
It wasn't even because there were sad times, of course there were some sad times, it was a fucking Lisa De Jong book.
Lila ended the last book in a place she never expected to be.
She met two men who stole her heart, in very different ways.
Blake is the bad boy, the one she shouldn't have fallen for. The one who destroys more than he mends.
Pierce is perfection, he won't hurt her. He's the one she should go for. He's safe. But is he too safe?
Lila's journey continues in this book, while in the beginning she pissed me off and I was worried for a while, I'm glad that the three of them got the story they deserved.
Lisa was messing with my heart so much in this book. I felt all the feels, cried all the tears.
My already broken heart broke more and more as I watched Lila go down paths I didn't want her to take.
There's no way to describe what this book did to me, for most of it I was a mess, my heart hurt when I read, my eyes leaked water. I said the F-word a lot when I read something I didn't want to and yelled at Lisa a lot.
By the time I got to 50% Monday afternoon I had to stop reading. I picked it back up Tuesday morning, there was just too much going on and I had to wrap my brain around it.
When I got to the part that I was dreading (Because I figured some dumb shit like that would happen, because why not?) I was sitting at the bus stop after class crying.
There were points where I hated this book, but not because it wasn't good, not becuase it wasn't tearing at my heartstrings. But because it was tearing at my heart. Because it was good.
Have you ever had a book that absolutely gutted you? That's what Love Unspoken did to me.
In the journey of life and love these characters had to learn how to live with love.
You can love and then you can live. You can even love while you live, but to be able to find that delicate balance is a difficult thing. And these flawed characters did that.
All three of these characters had flaws, some more than others. It wasn't always easy, and that was the point.
At one point Lila was in love with two men at the same time. At one point she loved one over the other. At one point she had to make a choice. At one point she had to live with the consequences. At one point she had to learn to live and love and be happy.
Lila says a bunch of times that she just wants to be happy.
And after it is all said and done, she gets that. She gets her happy, but not without the heartbreak.
I am so excited to see what Lisa has in store for us next, I'm sure it's going to be another crazy roller-coaster ride. I better stock up on tissue.
*Quote- "Rainbows only form after rainstorms if the sun shines." Lila
"Honesty is easy when someone has seen the worst of you, and yet, they still stick by you." -Lila
"Live. You have to live the life you want...look forward instead of back." -Pierce
"Love feels so good but hurts so bad." -Lila
"Time heals all wounds, or that's what they say. Time might make them better-might ease the pain-but it can't protect you from new cuts of hide old scars." -Lila
"When you love someone, it's impossible to look at them and feel hate. You may want to feel it. You may think you can feel it, but love and hate can't co-exist. I hate that I love him, but I can't hate him." -Lila
"Blake is a protector. A lover. A fighter. He's not always sweet, but that's what I like most about him." -Lila
"You're still my Lemon Drop." -Blake
There is one thing that I will forever connect to this book, to these characters, and that is Litost by X Ambassadors, currently my new song to obsess over.
Holy shit.

Excerpt
“If I had come home sooner, would I have had a chance?” he asks, sinking down in the bed until we’re eye to eye. He knows he’s making it impossible for me to skirt around the truth.
Eyes don’t easily lie to eyes.
“Yes,” I whisper. “I waited for you. Until New York, it would have been you.”
His fingers come up, gently brushing a piece of hair from my forehead. “I really fucked up with you, didn’t I?”
“Neither of us was in the right place. It wasn’t our time.”
He moves closer, brushing his thumb against my cheek. My conscience whispers but the tequila screams. “When will it be our time?”
I think about Pierce. This weekend. Everything. “It may never come, or maybe, it’s already passed.”
“I’m going to fight for you,” he declares, propping himself up on his elbow to look down at me. “I thought I could let you go if I knew it would make you happy, but after sitting alone in this apartment all weekend while you were with him, I don’t think I can do that.”
I swallow hard. “And, if you don’t win?”
“I’ve already lost, so what do I have left to lose?”
And, he’s right. He’s already lost so much that the risk is minimal.
And, he’s right. He’s already lost so much that the risk is minimal.
“Pierce trusts me,” I blurt, my palms sweating against the sheets.
He leans in, kissing my cheek. “He shouldn’t trust me, not when he has the one thing I want.”
“Blake?”
He slips out of my bed without looking back, carefully closing the bedroom
door behind him. He wanted the last word, and he got it.
