Review
Sawyer Says is a feel good story about friends who turn lovers, but it’s also so much more. Sawyer Sterling chooses to live her life with no attachments because she has both trust and abandonment issues due to her past. Jared Keller has been Sawyer’s best friend since they were young, but despite his feelings for her, he never thought he had a chance with her until one day changes everything. But can a girl who has never had a relationship with strings give herself to the man who is probably her perfect match, or will unanswered questions from her past send her running?
What I loved most about Sawyer’s story is that her relationship with Jared is what makes her seek answers about a woman who is her blood but never acted like it. Sawyer has spent her whole life feeling like the one person who was supposed to love her after all of the tragedy she experienced never truly did. But what she finds out on her journey is that the truth can never be taken at face value because it’s not always black and white; the grey area is what can truly shed light on the reality of things – it can set you free from a past that has held you in chains and give you a future that you never thought you wanted.
Jared Keller – he’s an amazing book boyfriend. His past hasn’t been easy either, but he’s able to put his baggage aside and give the woman that he loves the strength to find the answers she seeks. He’s extremely patient with her and willing to do everything in his power to make her happy. He knows when to push and when to pull back. Jared never lets her down, which is a main reason Sawyer’s able to give her past closure.
Because this, for the most part, is Sawyer’s journey, the bulk of the story is told through her point of view, but a great addition to each chapter is Jared’s ½ chapter; they help shed light on what he’s thinking and feeling during the time he and Sawyer are both together and apart; they also illustrate just how perfect he is for her.
Sawyer Says is the perfect story for any reader who enjoys friends to lovers’ stories and a heroine whose journey leads to the happily right now both she and the hero deserves.
