"You saved my life."
"I did. Now I'm the one who's drowning."
I was playing Mr Darcy in a modern Pride and Prejudice film adaptation, shot on a Greek island. I was Hollywood's golden boy, Wes Spencer. A billionaire. One of the youngest Academy Award nominees. A prodigy.
She was just a stunt girl from Greece, surfing and diving into the azure waters of the Corfu beaches between my takes.
There was no reason for us to meet. The stunt girl and the actor. Our worlds should have never collided, but they did.
We went from a near-death experience to indifference, from indifference to hate and from hate to... to something I never would have imagined.
She changed my life and then she disappeared. I guess nearly dying in my arms scared her too much, and she couldn't come back from that. I was scared too. I still have nightmares about losing her, but this... this is worse than all my nightmares put together.
Losing her is breaking me. Without her I am constantly suffocating.
But how can I get her back, when she won't even talk to me? When she won't even tell me what I did?

Review:
This is a love story told from the perspective of a spoiled, famous and ridiculously wealthy actor. Wes is only 22 and known as “Hollywood’s golden boy”. Wes suddenly falls for a stunt girl who initially spurns him. He saves her from drowning and then his life begins to change. He begins to change for her and eventually realizes (maybe) that he has to change for himself. The story starts at his present sense of loss and then backtracks to tell the story of his dramatic romance with Ari.
Wes and several close friends hide emotional pain which he expresses with angst. I like the author’s ability to write intense emotional drama that is fitting to YA although perhaps it is a bit much for an elder reader like me. I appreciate the transition and growth that Wes experiences. There are a couple of mixed tenses that were momentarily distracting. My primary disappointment is, just as I was wrapped in the story and wanted to see what happened between them, this book ends -- to be continued in the next book. I do recommend this for fans of YA emotional love. Just be prepared to need the next book, Lose Me.
