Book Review: Dear Owen

 

Dear Owen,

I know you won’t read this letter because I’m destroying it later. But I couldn’t help but write it as I stared at the back of your head while you flirted with her. Every breathy giggle feels like a dagger to my chest. We were never together, but it fucking breaks my heart to know you don’t love me back.

I don’t understand why you despise me or why you singled me out.

Fuck, I can’t handle this. I’m in so much pain that maybe it’s time. You know, I’ve been planning it for a while now, but I was never strong enough to do it. Now, I finally think I am.

I want to let you know it’s not your fault—it’s mine. I should have ended this sooner, and I’m sorry I didn’t. When I’m gone, I hope it brings you peace, like I know it will me.

Sincerely,

Kira

I didn’t mean for the letter to fall as I left class. I never intended for anyone else to see it. But it doesn’t matter now. Even if it gets out, I’ll be dead by sunrise anyway.


My Review

OMG. When Kira was writing her letter, I felt every word. I instantly was emotionally attached to her. Then when Owen read the letter and captured Kira for himself, I was like ok, things are really going to take a turn fast. I was not wrong. 

Owen is unhinged. He did put Kira though a lot. 

"Hate is just the other side of love, Kira. And I plan to explore every inch of that spectrum with you."

Kira is a fighter. Despite the situation she found herself in, she could have just given up, but she fought. I like that even though she had feelings towards Owen, she did not instantly fall for him. The ending! 

If you like dark reads, then you will want to check out this book. Although, just read the triggers first to take care of your mental health.
