Fighting Redemption by Kate McCarthy


"It's always the strongest that fall the hardest"

It only took me one day to read this book and let me tell you why. I just couldn't get enough of it. I wasn't always a fan of third person narration but this book was so well written that I finished it on one sitting. The message of family, love and friendship was so rich that it made me cry tears. Tears of everything anyone can think of. It was beautiful in every aspect.

Ryan and Fin's chemistry from the beginning was undeniable yet Ryan's hurt from the past continues to hunt him, that's why he kept himself distant from her despite the fact that Jake (Fin's older brother) was his bestfriend and their parents kind of adopted him in the family.

Time came when Jake and Ryan finally decided to join the army. Then a few years passed of Fin and Ryan not talking, she was hurt and despite the fact that she was in a relationship, Ryan still
has a hold of Fin's heart.

“There are things we don't want to happen but have to accept things we don't want to know but have to learn, and people we can't live without but have to let go.”

It wasn't long when a tragedy happened that opened both their eyes. They finally told each other the truth including their feelings of love. It was perfect and romantic in every way. It even brought tears in my eyes.

“I love you, Fin. I’ve always loved you. Right from the moment you walked up those steps at school, you tripped your way right into my heart. I won’t ever stop. I’ll love you longer than the stars that live in the sky."
It was written in the stars that Ryan and Fin's love will prevail, it just took them longer and more challenges plus all the hurt that they have encountered to be together.

“You’re the strongest person I’ve ever known, but someone smart and brave once told me that it’s always the strongest that fall the hardest. You can trust me, Ryan. Let go. I’ll be here to catch you. I’ll always be here.”

This story is so beautiful, it's definitely recommended for everyone. This just inspired me more and made me give more respect to our brave soldiers who are the real life heroes of our time. No one can ever match their sacrifice of serving our country by risking their lives and leaving their loved ones to make sure that freedom and peace remain.

“I’ll love you longer than the stars that live in the sky.”
