Review: Patch Up (Patch Up #1) by Stephanie Witter

About the Book: 

Skye followed her long time boyfriend to Seattle for their first year of college, but he dumped her after only a week. The relationship brought only pain and destruction in Skye's life, and yet, she can't bring herself to open up and live her life.

"What if I am already broken into pieces?"

She hates to be touched, hiding under her oversized shirts and behind her wild frizzy hair. Even her bubbly roommate can't reach her. And yet ...

"I'm the guy who knows how you can hurt so much that your insides feel like they're cut and bleeding."

The tall, handsome, and tattooed TA in her psychology class changes everything when he literally collides with her and confronts her. For the first time in a long time, she wants to try and open up to this guy whose dark, intense eyes can't hide his own pain despite his dazzling smile getting to her.

However, just when she's starting to live again, her ex-boyfriend comes back, breaking her time and time again, making it all the more complicated.

She wants to fight for herself and for this building thing with the TA, even when he pushes her away, but can two broken people patch each other up?

"I never thought colliding with someone could change lives, but it is possible."


* Due to some shocking scenes, this novel is for readers of 18 and up.

My Rating & Review
✶✶✶✶✶

I received a copy of Patch Up from the author and I love Skye and Duke's story. It definitely had a lot of dark moments so some parts where difficult to read but I was so invested in both Skye and Duke that it never would have occured to me to put the book down for something lighter. My heart broke for Skye and for Duke so many times and all I wanted was for them to recognize that they could be the one's to heal each other.
