Perfect for readers who enjoyed Flowers in the Attic , this is a heartbreaking and shocking novel about siblings Lochan and Maya, their tumultuous home life, and the clandestine, and taboo, relationship they form to get through it. Seventeen-year-old Lochan and sixteen-year-old Maya have always felt more like friends than siblings. Together they have stepped in for their alcoholic, wayward mother to take care of their three younger siblings. As de facto parents to the little ones, Lochan and Maya have had to grow up fast. And the stress of their lives--and the way they understand each other so completely--has also brought them closer than two siblings would ordinarily be. So close, in fact, that they have fallen in love. Their clandestine romance quickly blooms into deep, desperate love. They know their relationship is wrong and cannot possibly continue. And yet, they cannot stop what feels so incredibly right. As the novel careens toward an explosive and shocking finale, only one thing is certain: A love this devastating has no happy ending.

I'm not someone bothered by taboo romances, but I honestly didn't think this book needed the romance to be great. I really loved it until the ending.

So I guess this book really demonstrates that you cant change who you love. Its a hard topic at first but you get used to it. Definitely changes the way you see things, over all GREAT BOOK!
Love so true and taboo
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 8 years ago
I first read this book a couple years ago when I was still in high school and loved it. I finished it in a day. It's a topic a majority of people are closed minded about and after reading this beautiful story, I feel as if my eyes have been opened up a bit more. It will always be a favorite of mine.
