Publisher's Summary
From the author of The Unrequited comes an unconventional tale of coming of age.
He was an artist. She was his muse.
To everyone in town, Abel Adams was the devil's spawn, a boy who never should have been born. A monster.
To 12-year-old Evie Hart, he was just a boy with golden hair, soft t-shirts and a camera. A boy who loved taking her picture and sneaking her chocolates before dinner. A boy who made her feel special.
Despite her family's warnings, she loved him in secret for six years. They met in empty classrooms and kissed in darkened church closets. Until they couldn't.
Until the time came to choose between love and family, and Evie chose Abel.
Because their love was worth the risk. Their love was the stuff of legend.
But the thing about legends is that they are cautionary tales. They are made of choices and mistakes. And for Abel and Evie, the artist and the muse, those mistakes come in the form of lights, camera, sex.

Epic love!
4.5 stars! I loved Abel and his Pixie ! Their story broke my heart into pieces and I loved how explosive their connection was! I did think that the end was a little drawn out and I would have liked an epilogue to see how this couple were doing in the future.
Savannah Peacewood was perfect as Evie but I thought that Iggy Toma needed a deeper, gruffly voice for Abel.

TRIGGER WARNING!
I'm not a prude when it comes to book choices, but I do like it when they have trigger warnings in the descriptions for those of us who need it.
This book started as a childhood romance - great! - but then veered into incest, prejudice, and religious fanaticism.
By 50% of the way through I was skipping ahead by the hour because it had moved on to voyeurism and performing in porn films. And it didn't seem like it was a natural part of the plot - more just trying to shoehorn something 'taboo' into what would have been a really wonderful coming of age book without it.
I intend to return this as I only listened to about 30 mins of the last half of the book. Better luck next time.
