Release Blitz + Giveaway + Review - THE WEIGHT OF LIFE by Whitney Barbetti

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.

This was so beautifully written. Everything just felt so pure. The words, the emotions, the grief, the passion, the love. It all felt so real. So raw. So intense. So absolutely beautiful. There was none of that full of drama and angst. Just two people connecting through their grief and finding pure love and romance.

Whitney Barbetti did an amazing job. She wrote absolute pure magic. It was like reading a breath of fresh air of two people finding true love again. Of course you felt the grief, devastation and the heartache. But the love and romance was just beautiful to witness with Mila and Ames after what they've been through. Very well written and memorable characters.
