Long Shot

This was an extremely emotional book. Definitely suggest checking TW as it deals with heavy subjects and describes the actions.

Very heartfelt emotional story.

Iris is stuck in a loveless and abusive relationship. She fears for her safety, and feels isolated and alone.

She meets August as a chance encounter, and feels instant connection. Like they have known each other for years.

Time passes, they cross paths occasionally as they are in the same circles but their timing to start something is never right.

August knows that she is the one, so he waits. He waits YEARS for her.
Even when they get together, he waits. She sets the pace, and he is just there. Silent and stoic. A great man. An imperfect one, but he is there for her. He helps her in ways that isn't controlling like her ex did.

This was a heart breaking but wonderful story about timing, survival, and owning who you are and being true.
