My Life in a Book #2

Where Light Meets the Dark

Beneath His Stars/In Her Space by Amie Knight

He lived in the dark.
I worshipped the stars.
What a pair we were.

Good girl meets the tattooed boy from the wrong side of the tracks. But there’s much more to this story.

This was an emotional rollercoaster read.

I was so wrapped up in the story that I finished the two books in two days of intermittent reading. I have a life outside my books too! I read on and off during the day (I still put in the time to read while at work) and before bedtime.

And that’s saying something.

In my book world, completing a book in the least amount of time means it’s freakingly good, regardless of the length and how much free time I have.

And I don’t just read for the sake of reading, I always read for pleasure.

This book has the most heartbreakingly beautiful words. I just want to get lost in them.

It makes me look up the stars at night and appreciate the darkness. Because if it isn’t for the dark, we’ll never see the stars. One can’t exist without the other.

Sometimes our lowest lows bring the highest highs. Just like the darkest nights bring out the brightest stars.

When we learn to look through the darkness, we begin to appreciate the light and see the magic of life.

Even myself, at times, I feel strangely drawn to the dark. Not in a sinister sense. I just find comfort and relaxation in darkness or in the dim light.

Like clockwork, I would switch off the lights and just bask in the silence and peacefulness of my dark room, usually after a long day of work or for no reason at all. I love my dark solitude. I’m learning more and more each day to embrace my inner darkness. Am I giving you a creepy feeling? Haha

I mean, don’t get me wrong. Most days, I live by the sun but I feel like in my darkest hour, it’s the moon that watches over me.

If I were to describe this book in a quote, it would be,
