About this listen
At age 14, Zelda Rossi witnessed the unthinkable, and has spent the last 10 years hardening her heart against the guilt and grief. She channels her pain into her art: a dystopian graphic novel where vigilantes travel back in time to stop heinous crimes - like child abduction - before they happen. Zelda pitches her graphic novel to several big-time comic book publishers in New York City, only to have her hopes crash and burn. Circumstances leave her stranded in an unfamiliar city, and in an embarrassing moment of weakness, she meets a guarded young man with a past he'd do anything to change....
Beckett Copeland spent two years in prison for armed robbery and is now struggling to keep his head above water. A bike messenger by day, he speeds around New York City, riding fast and hard but going nowhere, his criminal record holding him back almost as much as the guilt of his crime.
Zelda and Beckett form a grudging alliance of survival, and in between their stubborn clash of wills, they slowly begin to provide each other with the warmth of forgiveness, healing, and maybe even love.
Contains mature themes.

I don’t re- read books, I want to but I just can’t do it so I thought I’d try listening to my favourite books and guess what I did it !!! I listened to a book I’d read before and I loved even more than the first time round, the narration was perfect Beckett’s voice was just lush I feel in love all over again ❤️

This is a story how one decision can affect your life and the life around you. It is about two broken people who don't think they deserve love or forgiveness. Together they take the journey to find another way and slowly build trust and restore some faith in each other and themselves.
Tropes:
Strangers to friends to lovers
Finding redemption
PDST and past trauma
There is only one bed (and one shitty air mattress)
Graphic novel artist
Slow burn
Emma Scott has the ability to always take you on a deeply emotional ride excavating the human psyche and uncovering core issues and slowly healing those broken souls.
Her characters are strong and have been hurt by the ugly world, yet they have vulnerable gentle hearts no matter their past mistakes. She manages to show a relationship that slowly starts to heal them. The healing is so beautiful to see and HEA is guaranteed.
The overall atmosphere of the book was immersive, loved the parallels with comic book and real life. There was also nice amount of slow burn and spice.
There was enough intrigue and some angst, but less than you can expect from this author, just perfect amount.
Highly recommend this beautiful story if you want to see people with troubled past finding forgiveness and eventually not let it define them; see soft vulnerable characters who try to look tough and cheer along as they grow and heal!
A story of redemption, love and forgiveness
