The chemistry between Aubrey and Adam from the beginning was amazing. Adam is the typical stand-off player, but as they develop throughout the novel there was a light shone into an unexpected love that although started off on the wrong foot, turns into passion. I loved how Carey created Adam as a photographer and with a witty streak. The characters worked both emotionally and physically to create bonds and share memories, which demonstrates real life to a T.
Overall, the journey that Adam and Aubrey intertwine through demonstrates strong characters and a pivotal narrative that you will shed a tear to. It showed so much courage and love to create and write a novel like this. Carey did an amazing job at atmospherically inhabiting what so many have endured in real life, and demonstrated it within the characters. The importance of self discovery and learning to let go. Aubrey and Adams story is a tale of finding love and accepting love. I rated Better a 5-Lit Love, as it was so emotional and beautifully written. I kept a tissue on hand, and you may need one too.
