How The Light Gets In
A Crack in Everything


Life used to be simple.

 I was a city girl with humble dreams. Then Dylan O’Dea broke into my flat, held me against the wall and told me to stay quiet.

 It was like in the movies, where the universe zeros in on a single scene. I looked into his eyes and knew he was going to change me.

 For Dylan, the sky was always falling. He showed me how our world is a contradiction of beauty and ugliness. How we choose to ignore the awful and gloss over it with the palatable. How you need just a tiny drop of something unsavoury to create every great scent.

 Pretty deep for a pair of teenagers living in a block of council flats in inner city Dublin, right Probably. But we weren’t typical. We both had our obsessions. Mine was growing things, Dylan’s was scent. He taught me how to use my nose, and I introduced him to the magic of flowers.

 I had no idea that one day he’d build an empire from what we started together. But before that, there was love and happiness, tragedy and epic heartbreak…

 My name is Evelyn Flynn and I’m going to tell you about the crack in everything.

 A Crack in Everything is Book #1 in L.H. Cosway’s Cracks duet.


REVIEW


“Then I’ll see you in the after”

I loved this book. Another winner from L.H. Cosway. I couldn’t put this book down.

Dylan and Evelyn are soul mates, they understand and love each other unconditionally, but their timing is off. They are young (18 and 17 respectively) but this doesn’t mean they don’t love fearlessly. Dylan is a pessimist (some may call him a realist) and Evelyn is an optimist (some may say a dreamer) and that’s why they are so perfect for each other. They each bring different views on life and balance each other out.

This book has a gloomy cast to it. You know something bad is going to happen, something that will change their lives forever, something that would break my heart, and it eventually did.

L.H. Cosway writes the most beautiful, heartbreaking stories that I I can’t get enough of. She has a way with words that always captivates me and this book is no exception. This is a story about loss, dreams, family, friendships, love and finding your place in life. A book I highly recommend to everyone and that its going straight to my favorites of 2018. I can’t wait to dive into the second installment in this duet.

PS: This book ends on a cliffhanger.

5/5
How the Light Gets in


He came back to me 16 minutes and 59 seconds into Beethoven’s Symphony no. 7.

 We parted amid tragedy, so it seemed poetic. Dylan O’Dea, my childhood sweetheart, had once
meant everything to me. Now we were strangers, and honestly, after eleven years I never thought
I’d see him again.

 I lived in the world of the average, of getting paid by the hour and budgeting to make ends meet. But
Dylan, he lived in the world of wealth and success. He’d achieved the great things I always suspected
he would. The dissatisfaction he’d felt as a teenager had obviously been an excellent motivator.

 He started a business from scratch, pioneered a brand, and created perfumes adored by women
across the globe. I was just one of the people who’d been there before. Now he was living his best
life in the after.

 And me, well, I’d been in a dark place for a while. Slowly but surely, I was letting the light back in, but there was something missing. I was an unfinished sentence with an ellipsis at the end. And maybe, if I was brave enough to take the chance, Dylan could be my happy ending.

How the Light Gets In is Book #2 and the concluding installment in L.H. Cosway’s Cracks duet.

REVIEW

This book starts 11 years after A Crack in Everything. Dylan and Evelyn are know adults and it was wonderful to see how much they’ve changed and evolved.

I loved Dylan in this book. He loves Ev so so much, he would give his world for her. Evelyn on the other hand bothered me a little, she loves Dylan but takes so long to accept that they can finally be together. Dylan’s so good to her but she doesn’t feel worthy of him. I know she’s been through a great loss, but so has Dylan. They’ve already lost so much time, I was frustrated with her at times. That’s why this book wasn’t a 5 star read for me. Don’t get me wrong, I still like Evelyn I just didn’t understand her hesitation.

Even though I had some issues with Evelyn this still was a beautiful ending to their story. I am just so happy they were able to get their happily ever after. They deserve it so much!
