Two simple words hold the truth of our love: wait and hope. Olivia Rhys Garrett—recent high school graduate, ex-captain of the basketball team, and my brother’s rival both on and off the court. Oh, and he’s also the guy I just hit with my truck. Awesome. To be fair, he had it coming. Why else was he dressed in all black, in the middle of the night, if not to hide out amongst the darkness? Rhys I wasn’t looking where I was going or what was around me. I didn’t even see the headlights. Just felt the impact. And I thought, as strange as it was, that getting hit by a car may be the best thing that could’ve happened to me. Until I opened my eyes… …and she told me her name. *** Some might call it fate, destiny, kismet… A collision of souls. One night. One chance encounter. The problem? One night wasn’t enough. But the more time we spent together, the more truths came to light. And soon, we’d discover that what we once thought was meant to be… …is not made to last. 4 Heart Review by Ashley Excuse me Jay McLean while I go hug a pillow. I mean sheesh the punches to my chest were relentless. I was rooting for Olivia from the start. She had been through so much. Was still finding her way back from all the blows life had sent her way when she quite literally ran into the one person who would shake her foundation all over again. Rhys. The broody rival of her brother. But he was so much more than that. Lost. Lonely. Fighting for every breath. Finding comfort and peace in a place he never expected. Their connection was undeniable but so complicated. Especially when just how intertwined they are comes to light. I won't lie, Not Made to Last was heavy. Emotional and tragic. But it was also laced with moments of lightness and sharp wit. And the laughter of sweet Max that could brighten anyone's day. Behind every twist was another turn, so it was no wonder they were such a mess. But somehow, someway, the love found a way to break the pain and darkness and find a path forward. And that little tease at the end...I NEED that story stat!
