Loneliness is a desolate feeling that claws its way into the very fabric of your life, dragging you to despair. It is an isolation of your heart and soul and a rejection of everything you are, and everything you try to be, by the very people who should be showering you with love and acceptance...
A life of solitude becomes the norm for Charlotte Whittaker. An emptiness fills her with a void so big that she finds herself running to escape it—running to be alone...
It takes a new country and a new outlook on friendship for her to begin to build up her trust in others again. Easton James wraps his heart in tissue paper, locking it away and hiding the key, as he tries to put distance between it and the life he thought was already paved for him. He walks a lonely man—a band of patient friends by his side—searching for answers that will reunite him with the man he knows hides deep inside of himself. Travelling roads of uncertainty that push and pull them like magnets, the pair discover a middle ground on uncharted territory that gives them hope for a chance at a new kind of love.

Her eyes meet mine again, and I clench my jaw as I see them change ever so slightly, as if her walls are building back up again, as if she is desperate to hide away whatever it is that is hurting her.
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” I lean back on my elbows and stare up at the sky. It’s clear tonight, not a single cloud obstructing the beautiful canvas of brightly lit stars. “Did you also know… that stars don’t actually twinkle?”
She sits cross-legged, her head hanging down and her finger drawing patterns in the patch of soil in front of her. Turning to look at me again, she eyes me suspiciously. “Are you just making this shit up for something to say?” I am gifted a lopsided smile before she lifts her head so that she is looking at the sky. “Go on then. Enlighten me.”
Dropping back completely, I lie on the ground and stretch my legs out in front of me, linking my fingers behind my head as my gaze returns to the sky. “Yeah, so stars just appear to twinkle. The twinkle that we see isn’t a property of the star whatsoever. It’s actually caused by the earth’s turbulent atmosphere.”
Charlie stares at me, looking genuinely interested in the words spewing from my lips.
“As light from a star passes through the atmosphere, especially when it appears near the horizon, it must also pass through several layers of rapidly differing density, which in turn deflects the light.”
I look over at her again, but this time, her brows narrow, confusion painting itself across her pretty face. Not wanting to lose her in scientific jargon, I attempt to explain it differently. “Think of it as a ball in a pinball machine. The light eventually gets to your eyes, but every deflection causes it to change in color and intensity. The result is what we commonly refer to as ‘twinkling’.”
Charlie mimics my position, lying back on the ground beside me, her hands folding loosely over her stomach, and she turns her head in my direction. Her eyes dance across my face, and her voice drops, curiosity seeping into her tone. “So what happens above the earth’s atmosphere?”
“Nothing.” I give a gentle shake of my head, pretending to not notice the way her eyes have stopped moving, her gaze now lingering on my mouth. “Stars don’t twinkle. Not from up there anyway.”
She looks back up at the inky blackness. “Then I think I’d prefer to stay down here where at least there is an illusion of twinkling.” She lifts her arms up and reaches toward the sky, stretching them. “You really are full of random facts, aren’t you?”
“Yeah.” My lips pull tight, and even though I have no desire to think of Bethany, especially with Charlie lying beside me, my thoughts lead right to her.

Star Rating - 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Easton is travelling Europe with a group of friends trying to get away from real life and the trauma of a past relationship. He hasn't thought about being with somebody in over a year that is until a young pink haired woman crashes into the cafe they are in and seems to steal his heart the moment he looks at her. His friends encourage Charlie to tag along to their next adventure much to Easton's displeasure, he doesn't want his heart broken again, but when Charlie leaves something at the last hostel Easton finds himself volunteering to accompany her on the trip back. Cue 3 weeks alone together, can Charlie and Easton get along as friends or will the put their pasts behind them and become more?
These were new authors to me and I very much enjoyed this story. The writing was seamless from one author to the next and not at all disjointed like other books I've read written by dual authors. The story flowed nicely and I kept turning the pages to find out the back story of each character but personally I didn't connect with either Easton or Charlie the way I have with other characters. That's not to say others won't, just me personally. The additional characters added to the story and kept it moving until the end. The book ends openly with the possibility of finding out how Easton and Charlie continue their journey together but in no way was it a cliff hanger. All in all I enjoyed this, a 4 star read for me
