RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: You Keep Breaking Us by Carrie Aarons

 


You Keep Breaking Us by Carrie Aarons is live!


We were the ultimate example of that couple who can't live with each other, but can't seem to function without each other.

The minute I met Callum Strass at fifteen, I was a goner. We were the golden couple of our high school. The king and queen of prom, the sweethearts voted most likely to get married and have babies, and the absolute idiots who decided to attend the same college.

Because that's when it all fell apart. The naïve, puppy love versions of ourselves couldn't see the obvious cracks we'd had back in our hometown. But they sure revealed themselves when we started living in an off-campus house together with four of our other friends.

Within a semester, blow-out fights, jealousy, every-other-week breakups, and my abandonment issues had him bowing out. Not just on me, but on the house, too. Until our senior year, when his parents refuse to keep paying rent on two places.

So he moves back in, and I'm forced to live with my ex. The one who has ruined all other men for me. The one I still cry myself to sleep at night thinking about. The one who confesses, during a run-in in a dark hallway, that he hates how much he still loves me.

And when he starts dating again, he might as well plunge a knife straight through my heart. Despite our breakup, I'm on the verge of losing him for real this time, and possibly forever. The only option is to seek help for my deep-seated trauma, the thing that Callum always encouraged me to see someone about. The thing that eventually pushed him away.

Put two of the most driven, headstrong, and passionate people in any relationship and it's bound to combust. We've always had that twin flame kind of love.

So, together we might burn. But we also might heal.


Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟


I must admit that I wasn't sure if I wanted to read Callum and Bevan's story. Having met them in the previous books, I knew that they had a tumultuous relationship, and the journey to their HEA was just par for the course.

"I've loved you as hard as I possibly can, and it's never been enough."

Callum Strass and Bevan Fabin have been in love since they were freshmen in high school. They were together for about six years before Callum finally called it quits. It was six years of friendship and love, but also six years of insecurity and fighting. Two years apart with hardly any contact between them, and then Callum is living back at their shared student housing for their senior of college.

"I was meant to love you. So I'm in, all in. No more going back. Will you love me? Will you be with me? Will you work on this?"

This story was pretty darn angsty. I really liked Callum and I admired his strength in keeping himself away from Bevan for two years. She was much harder to like. I understood her issues, stemming from childhood, but Callum had been with her for seven years of ups and downs and, seriously, if that didn't show her that he was committed, I don't know what she expected from him. It felt like he was never going to do right by her, whatever he did. Their love was deep and all-consuming, fiery and vibrant. I loved that they worked through their issues and came out the other side in a much healthier place. Although, it has to be said that I didn't like that, ultimately, it felt like Callum was on the backfoot and constantly having to reassure Bevan that he loved her and that she came first. He may have loved her abrasive side, but I felt like she was a bitter pill to swallow at times. As a reader, I needed their story to round off the series but, as I said, Bevan was hard for me to like but I'm glad she got the help she needed, even though her fear of losing Callum completely forced her to seek it. However I felt about these two, it didn't take away from the author's writing skills. I love this author and can't wait to read her next novel.
