well, well, well, wasn't this book something. I LOVE this heart breaking gut wrenching story. It's gripping and I assure you, it will struck a nerves.Allie has a secret, which she has has done everything in her powers to hide from the one shining light in her dark miserable life she is currently drowning in.Allison Porter has suffered in the most horrific way at the hands of a parent; someone who is meant to love and protect their children, unfortunately for Allie she has no such luxury or love in her household.Dean, the boy next door is her on again off again boyfriend since the age of 11 and the love of her life even though she would never admit to it.His love for Allie is pure and unconditional, her support has helped him through his own fair share of hardships. But she refuse to allow Dean to do the same for her so she lives a life of lies and hiding.After sometime Allies's world collide when Dean starts asking question and her lies are no longer servicing in keeping Dean at bay and away from the truth.This leads her to makes a very difficult decision to run, in-order to save herself and protect Dean and his family.Her choice to skip town without even much as a goodbye has left Dean broken hearted with a million unanswered questions.Just when he convinced himself that he will never see her gain....Guess who rocks back up into town?!? Alison Perter in the fictional flesh.When Alison left she never imagine returning but events beyond her control drew her back into her personal hell hole.Common sense says to leave her be and move on but Dean is determined to get some answers weather Allie likes it or not he will not let it drop this time. (Dean is one bossy young man who no long ask but DEMAND truth).

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.Sink or Swim by Jamie Canosa is one of those beautifully painful but hopeful angsty novellas. Perfectly done with an outcome that was completely and utterly satisfying.Abuse in any form is awful but when it comes at the hands of an individual who is supposed to be protecting you in this life, it is especially horrid. When Allie runs away to get away from her abusive father, she leaves behind her mom and her long time boyfriend/best friend, Dean. After being gone for six months she finds out that her mom is terminally ill. When she comes back to take care of her mom, things explode.Upon Allie’s return it is quite clear that Dean still has serious feelings for her. But he doesn’t have all of the facts about what is happening to her or even why she disappeared without a trace. As he stays in the dark, we, as the reader, know what is happening and it is horrible. As things come to light, it starts to escalate getting very intense rushing us forward to a satisfying resolution.Her father is really quite despicable and I really, really, strongly HATED the man. There was nothing, and I mean nothing, redeemable about him - at all.Throughout the story I had conflicting feelings about Allie. In some ways I really admired her strength and her tenacity to survive but it went hand in hand with pure annoyance that she was choosing to stay. I understand her reasoning for her choices but at the same time I don’t. Like I said I am very conflicted about her. But I will say this, she is likeable and you can’t help but root for her.I did not have conflicting feelings about Dean. Nope, I kinda freaking adore him, like Allie better watch her back cuz’ I just might go steal him from her ;) Love him.
