To the Steadfast by Briana Gaitan
Resolute. Firm. Unwavering
That was my love for him.
Steadfast for as long as I can remember.
As my best friend's brother, he ignored me before noticing me. He protected me, bought me my first beer, but eventually became my undoing.
There was a time I would have died to get him to notice me, now I'd do anything to forget him.
I'm not the one who can tame him, and he's not the guy who will change for me.
This isn't a story about falling in love, this is a story about falling out of love.
Unrequited love.
And finding the strength to move on.
Here's to the steadfast.
*This is a standalone story that crosses years from YA into NA genre, due to HEAVY subject matter this book is for ages 16 and up. This is not your typical love story.*
Manda's 4 Star Review:
I wasn't sure what to expect with this book. I am not the kind of reader that needs a HEA, in fact I love books that don't end in the typical boy gets girl way. The storyline is different and unique and has good story progression. The characters are really good. They are all complicated and a bit mysterious. They each have such a complicated story. Each character going through their own emotional hell. You know there is more going on with them but the author doesn't say exactly what that is. I was so lost in the story while reading and experiencing all the things Cody is going through with this complicated first love. I absolutely loved it! This book to me is a more realistic version of unrequited first love than most I have read and I really think the author did a fantastic job in telling the story. This is definitely a cliffhanger ending!! It is possibly one of the most intense endings I have ever read in a book, but so good. I cannot wait for the next book!! Congrats Briana Gaitan on an amazing story!!
