“I’ll walk through fire with you”
Leigh has out done herself with this book, one of her best writing to date she gives us her best with emotionally deep characters who you can’t help but adore.
Grace Shaw has been touched with tragedy. Once a popular outgoing girl, she’s resorted to living only within a shell of herself. Secretly Hoping to become invisible rather than the town castaway she keeps to herself, her grandmother, and the taco truck.
When West St. Claire comes into her life Grace isn’t ready. He’s full of smart remarks, sex, and a bad background. West cares about nothing but his bike Christina and being in the ring every Friday.
Together these two ignite the dimly lit flame burning within one another, barring their souls, scars, and secrets. They become connected by their tragic pasts and feelings that only each other could understand.
But with each breakthrough they make comes a new obstacle, it’s up to them to walk through the fire or turn to ash in it.
Grace and West were everything. This story resonated so much because I could relate on different levels to both of these characters. Personally dealing with similar situations as Grace’s with her grandma and having a Phoenix tattoo myself. I wanted to protect her from the first page, LJ wrote such a beautiful character in an unconventional way to what society deems “beauty”. She was strong and resilient let’s just say perfect!
Playing with Fire is one of those books whose characters stay with you forever, and each time I see my own Phoenix tattoo now, I’ll think of Grace and to rise above what may come.
