At about the eighth chapter, stuff begins to happen and by stuff, I just mean that there is actual movement on the page. Finally, I forced myself to sit down and finish the book. It is why I was so drawn in by the first one.īut there is so little dialogue and action in the first seven chapters that I struggled, for days, to make it through. Yes, it makes sense that at this age, their internal monologues would be drawn out and full of angst. There is a lot of internal kvetching over Callie and Kayden’s past traumas. But, nonetheless, setting that aside, the first 7 chapters of this story really dragged for me. And no, I don’t believe there is any reference to him wearing long sleeves in his uniform all of the time. I had a difficult time believing that his arms, so often in view, would not be noticed by any one else from his coach, Callie’s father, to any number of teachers and supervisors at high school and college. Kayden is supposedly a star football quarterback.

His arms are marked with evidence of his past cutting. It’s not far fetched to be believed that Kayden is the perpetrator of his own wounds. Did he self injure or where those cuts the result of his father’s abuse. Kayden is in a hospital with threats of assault charges looming and several cuts in his body. The Redemption of Callie & Kayden picks up after The Coincidence. This makes my third read of yours, the first barely esccaping a DNF, the second being a surprising emotional read that I highly enjoyed, and the third somewhere in between.
