Whitney Barbetti delivered a poignant and heartbreaking story about two tortured souls who had hidden for all these years their way to cope with pain or loss. I wasn’t expecting that kind of story for Samson and Lotte. It was an emotional ride, raw and scorching.

I do like stories about characters that were more than meet the eye, where the psychological aspect and personality were developed, showing us how the scars ran deep, without no pretense, brutal and honest.

The characters are tortured and fighting over their addictions and compulsions. I did like to see something that wasn’t perfect, when you see the characters’ flaws, pretending and trying to survive in front of everyone but finding in the darkness the only who can see through it and make them breath again.

As much as they were destructive for themselves, I was afraid to see a destructive relationship, to see them sink together but it wasn’t the case. They were each other’s light and never judging each other. Being strong to fight over the darkness that slightly suffocated them.

Overall, it was beautifully written. They made my heart race. It was obviously heavy emotionally but I adored to read the moments in between, when Sam and Lotte didn’t have to hide, to show their true colors.

Of course the road to happiness was far from easy but they were fighters and even if it was hard at times to see how they were hurting inside, I had so much hope for them, because they faced their demons, to get better for themselves first before finally having a brighter future together. What an incredible journey!
