The Weight of Life by Whitney Barbetti *Release and Giveaway*


Mila


“Don’t let go.” Those were my first words to him, as I hung over the side of a London bridge. The words I would soon say again, in a moment that didn’t involve bridges, but something much more fragile: my heart.

He held onto me for three weeks, in a time when I needed to be held. Needed to connect to someone who understood how loss tunneled unrepentantly through the fabric of your soul.

Although he said he'd stay, we both knew he wouldn't. I had already survived one loss—I didn't know if I'd survive another. 

Ames

She spun into my life like a tornado of smiles and chatter and everything else I'd long avoided, with a persistence that I admired, albeit begrudgingly. She broke down each neat wall I’d constructed without even trying. Her presence alone caused me to remember what it felt like to smile, to look forward to what the day would bring.

But it was only supposed to last three weeks.

“Don’t let go,” she’d pleaded.

I’d promised her I wouldn’t—but I would. I didn't have a choice.
I like nachos and champagne and clean sheets. I spend far too much time at Starbucks. I wrote a couple books

*****
Sooo...What did I think? HELL YES! I could not put this book down. I must admit, I walked away from Barbetti's Bleeding Hearts series hating Mila. I was just like what kind of person would...seriously?? But The Weight of Life redeemed her for me. Ames and Mila! Oh my heart. This is a must read. Add it to your Summer read! Grab this book, a box of tissues, a glass of wine (soda for you underagers) and curl up with this good book. I do not have much more to say about it than this. I loved it, I hated it and then I loved it once more. Read it. Love it.

Goodreads Blurb: 
 When I found an eviction notice taped on my apartment door, I had two options: find a comfortable cardboard box to call home, or move in with Tucker Jameson. 

Seeing that cardboard makes me feel itchy, I chose the latter. Which shouldn't be that big of a deal Tucker is one of my good friends. And because he's still pining after his ex-girlfriend and I'm trying to finish my nursing degree, there is nothing to worry about in the romance department, making my last semester an easy one to conquer.

Boy, was I wrong. 

Rules are set, dinners are made, conversations are had, and a shirtless, swoony roommate walks around in nothing but a pair of black briefs, ruining me for every other man. 

Before I know it, I turn into a panting, lust-filled woman begging for Tucker to kiss me, touch me, and show me exactly what is hiding under those briefs. 

But with great orgasms, comes great consequences. 

Tucker might be my friend and roommate but he’s also my best friend's ex-boyfriend, making him completely off-limits. At least that's what my brain is telling me, my heart is speaking an entirely different language.

                        ***
So, this one will definitely be added to my top 10 Sumner reads! I know it isn't summer, yet, but yeah...you should read it. And love it. As I do. 

From the title alone, you can tell that there is a lot going on with this book. "Why would anyone date their ex?" I sure as heck wouldn't...shoot, we don't even have the same taste in guys. But what if the guy ended up with the wrong girl? What if he was meant for you? What if the girl was always one thing to you, but when you stopped to notice her, she was so much more? This book made me think about all this. Like fate so to speak. Destiny. You will just have to read it because this love story is everything!
