Have you ever looked at someone and just knew,
knew that they were placed in your life for a reason?
The one person that would be not only your best friend,
but your absolute everything.
That’s how I felt the first time I saw him.
That one day when a few little words changed our entire
lives forever…
Don’t be
Afraid, he said.
Life can change so quickly.
One moment you can be smiling and feeling as if you're
walking on clouds and the next, everything you love, everything you treasure
crumbles at your feet.
I told him to fight, I told him I needed him.
We needed him.
But there are just some fights that can't be won…
He was my angel then, and he’s still my angel now.
In a way, I believe he’s still looking out for us, giving us
a future.
Sometimes it’s as if I can still feel his presence,
guiding us and keeping us safe.
So, I won’t be Afraid.
I'll live. I’ll fight.
It’s what he would have wanted.
I’ll do it for him…

Excerpt
I buried my body beneath the covers and curled around his warmth. With my head rested just where he’d wanted it, I closed my eyes tight and willed the tears away. Doing my best to hide the emptiness consuming me, I concentrated on breathing evenly.
“Always loved you right like this,” he confessed. “Your body so close to mine it feels like we’re the same person.”
I took deep breaths as I thought of all the reasons life was so damn unfair.
“Loved burying my face in your hair, just breathing you in.”
Those were the words most girls dreamed of hearing, and they made our love feel more solid and concrete. But hearing them now was like a slow form of torture, because they were tearing the small amount of control I had left in me to pieces.
“You were made just for me, Sawyer Cooper,” he whispered sleepily. “I truly believe that.”
I squeeze my eyes shut tighter as I curled into him closer.
“Forever my girl.”
Tears rolled along my cheeks as I did all I could to wipe them away before he noticed. I was thankful sleep had taken him over and he was oblivious to the shattering of my soul.

Blogs Review
Tissues, wine, re-read same sentence again due to tears blurring
your vision and repeat. OH my heart! OK, yes, I have cried at books, but never
like this so I am going to say don’t read in a public place cause you will be
pretty much crying this whole book with all the feels you experience in this
story. You will cry and I mean cry with your chest hurting and laugh at times. The
anger, loss, guilt, fear and hope are only some of the feelings you see while
reading this story.
Sawyer, Patrick and Gage all had so much love to give. The
things Patrick did before the end is heartbreaking, but it goes to show you how
big and giving his heart was. Sawyer may be a sweet yet sassy independent
women, but everyone has their breaking point and she held strong the best way
she could through it all. There is one scene that I say fate intervenes when it
comes to the house and that is all I will say about that so you can experience these
events yourself. Gage a true friend and just as loving as Patrick. Guilt aside,
I believe the letters are what helped Sawyer and Gage move on the best way they
could while still holding memories of Patrick alive as they promised.
In the end, Don’t Be Afraid though leaves you with a very important
message about grieving and overcoming loss and learning to live and love all in
life is how best I can say this without spoilers. This is one of the best books
yet of 2018 for a beautiful, but tragic love story. CA you definitely shattered many of us with
this book that will stay with you for a long time.
