Beyond the Lights

Thank you to Nicole Higginbotham-Hogue for sending me an e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

I have mixed feelings about this book. I loved reading it, it was a quick read, the story was fast paced. This story evolves around friendship, love and finding yourself. I loved that aspect of it. I think that Dawn and Autumn were very likeable characters.
However, I thought that Amy and Sawyer were both unlikeable characters. In my opinion, they came across quite egocentric and selfish, which I didn't really like in the story.
I'm also stuck between liking and disliking the fact that everything that the characters dream of in this story just suddenly happens to them, as if it is all ‘meant to be'.

However, I did like the character development from the main characters.

This is a great book if you want to dream away with a story, because that is really what this story does.

Nicole Higginbotham-Hogue takes us on a journey to make love come true in Beyond the Lights. How many movies have we seen where someone thinks if they just meet this “absolutely unobtainable person” that this person will take one look at them and say, “yup, I was just sitting here waiting for you.” (laugh) Sawyer has really high hopes.

The funny thing is: Higginbotham-Hogue throws a huge monkey wrench in the joke of this trope by making dreams come true! Amy and Sawyer meet in a movie style moment. Then literally everything that happens after seems like everything was meant to be for Amy and Sawyer. I was literally saying “wtf?!!!” (laugh) Wow...I did not see this coming.

Then Dawn comes into the picture, who by the way I am totally crushing on, and “Hello, how you doin'?” Holy sugar, Higginbotham-Hogue has us in a conundrum.

You have to read the book to find out what happens. (laugh) You did not really think I was going to tell you did you?

Higginbotham-Hogue utilizes the beautiful backdrop of Montana to tell the story. It is a great place to pause and fall in love. Take some time and enjoy Beyond the Lights, a slow-burn HEA romance.

I received an ARC of this book and I am writing a review without prejudice and voluntarily.
