I’ve found it’s easier to share my body but not my soul. I need no one, yet I crave her.
Self-assured and independent, she doesn’t need me—but she wants me, and undeniably I want her too. At war with myself as I battle the secrets of my past, I don’t know if I can allow her to see the darkest parts of me, the parts I’ve left untouched—undone.
As she chips away at the walls I’ve built for years, I fear those secrets will hold me hostage from love—forever.
I absolutely loved Unbreakable. It was one of my favorite books of last year. I liked Landon in Unbreakable. There were even a few moments when I thought that maybe Jess needed to be with him. But I wasn't completely sold on him. I still wanted to know that he was going to be okay too, so I was stoked to hear that Undone was coming out.
Although I didn't doubt for one second that Landon would go back to his manwhore ways once Jess went back home it was sad to see him like that. There was just an inherent sadness to those actions that I didn't like to see about him. I am REALLY glad that we didn't have to see a lot of that from him before we got into the meat of his story.
At first I wasn't completely sure about Reagan. She seemed so timid when she first entered the picture that I wasn't sure that she would be able to hack it with Landon. I quickly learned that I had completely misjudged her. She was quite a little spitfire and gave as good as she got, which was exactly what Landon needed. After my first impression she quickly won me over.
Learning about just what had happened to Landon to make him the way that he was was completely heartbreaking. Knowing the things that he had been through at the hands of the people who should have loved him more than anything else made my soul ache. Finding out what had happened to Reagan was just as bad, maybe a little bit worse for me. They had both lost more innocence, at a young age, than any person should ever have to deal with.
There were some twists in the story that I never saw coming. I was pissed by some of the revelations that were made and devastated by others. Every little thing that happened to each of the characters grew and changed and were shaped by those events though, so I am ultimately happy that they happened. They all deserved to be whole and on the road to healing and I'm not sure that they would have got there if not for the things that they experienced.
This book was masterfully written. I was completely won over by Rebecca's writing in Unbreakable and I was in no way disappointed by Undone. I was so wrapped up in the vivid details in the story that time passed without me knowing. I felt like I had first row seats to the lives of Reagan and Landon and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
“I thought you left,” she whispers. I don’t know how to respond to her, because part of me did want to leave—to flee where I don’t have to deal with these unknown feelings. Feelings that leave me scared to death. So instead of saying anything, I pull her into a hug. I love that she’s so tall. Her head fits right into the crook of my neck.
“You need to sleep,” I say quietly. “You have to be at work in a few hours. Go rest; I’ll be here when you wake up—I promise.”
She pulls away and looks at me skeptically, but nods her head and shuffles down the hallway toward her bedroom. Stopping just outside her door, she looks back over her shoulder at me, then turns around slowly, walking back to me. Without a word, she weaves her fingers through mine and walks us back to her bedroom. I don’t hesitate. In fact, I long for her touch and grip her hand tighter.
“Just lie with me,” she whispers, pressing her finger to my lips so I can’t argue or refuse.
Pulling me toward the large bed, she pulls the covers back and slides in, moving to the center. I hesitate as I watch her, wondering if it will ever be possible to “just lie with” her and not touch her. Her long body stretches from the pillows to the end of the bed, and her fair skin is begging me to touch it.
Sliding in next to her, she pulls me to her. Wrapping her arm across my waist, she rests her head on my shoulder. She settles in as if she’s done it a thousand times—and it feels natural, right.
“Thank you, Landon,” she mumbles sleepily.
“For what?” I ask, confused.
“Trying. Thank you for trying.”
