24-year old Pax Tate is an asshole.
Seriously.
He’s a tattooed, rock-hard bad-boy with a bad attitude to match.
But he’s got his reasons.
His mother died when Pax was seven, leaving a hole in his heart filled with guilt although he doesn’t understand why. What he does know is that he and his dad are left alone and with more issues than they can count.
As Pax grew up, he tried to be the kid his father always wanted; the perfect golden boy, but it didn’t work. His dad couldn’t overcome his grief long enough to notice and Pax couldn’t keep up the impossible perfect façade.
So he slipped far, far from it.
Now, he uses drugs and women to cope with the ugliness, the black void that he doesn’t want to deal with. If he pretends that the emptiness isn’t there, then it isn’t, right?
Wrong.
And it’s never more apparent than when he meets Mila.
Sweet, beautiful Mila Hill is the fresh air to his hardened frown, the beauty to his ugly heart. He doesn’t know how to not hurt her, but he quickly realizes that he’s got to figure it out because he needs her to breathe.
When memories of his mother’s death resurface from where he’s repressed them for so long, Mila is there to catch him when the guilt starts making sense. Mila is the one…the one who can save him from his broken troubled heart; from his issues, from the emptiness.
But only if he can stop being an asshole long enough to allow it.
He knows that. And he’s working on it.
But is that enough to make her stay?

Pare interesantă.
Interesanta carte.Ador cartile in care apar tipii rai :)) .
Chiar este o carte interesanta si nu mai retin unde am mai vazut-o ;))...oricum subiectul tratat este unul foarte interesant..
Eu una o sa o propun unei edituri.Poate va fi luata in calcul propunerea.Sunt atatea carti frumoase..in strainatate.
Super mod de a incepe descrierea, imi place prima propozitie!:))
poate editurii epica, polirom sau all acestea scot cartide dragoste , bine nu doarde dragoste ..dar ar fi o idee draguta
parca am mai vazut o carte din seria aceasta
Am propus-o editurii Epica :) .
sincer eu zic sa incerci la mai multe porti. nu poti sti de unde sare iepurele
Ok, I'm hooked! Descrierea m-a prins din prima :)
Ce mai descriere! Imi place foarte mult cum suna, dar mai ales imi place ca apare si un bad boy in carte. As vrea sa o citesc, pare interesanta.. :)
Coperta e draguta si ideea cartii pare foarte interesanta. Mi-ar placea sa o citesc.
Pare o carte realista, avand in vedere ca este vorba de un simplu baiat care ajunge sa se drogheze si sa se porte urat din cauza unei tragedii pe care a suferit-o in copilarie. Astfel de lucruri te pot schimba pentru totdeauna si nu toti intalnesc persoane ca Mila.
Suna bine cartea si-mi place coperta:> asa ca o voi trece pe lista mea *care e mare pana la cer* si o voi citi dupa ce fac rost de ea.
A intalnit o persoana valoaroasa si incearca sa o pastreze incercand sa se schimbe in bine. Asta mi se pare un subiect bun de film. Astfel de carti,cele mai de viata cum e aceasta, ar trebui sa aiba filmele lor. Mie imi plac si inceputul descrierii e asa,mai dinamic si atrage cititorul. :)
Cand vine vorba de film, parca e diferit.
Dar si asa.. e greu sa te schimbi, dupa o perioada foarte lunga in care te-ai obsinuit intr-un anumit fel.. Chiar mi-as dori cartea asta
Intradevar in film e diferit. Nu tot timpul actorii pot transmite sentimentul pe care il traiesti cand citesti cartea.
Da, iar citind fiecare interpreteaza lucrurile diferit, in felul lui.
vreau de mult sa citesc o carte din perspectiva unui bad boy, sa intru in mintea lui, sa-l inteleg
