If envy is a sin, then let me be damned.
Graham was born to be a star.
Once upon a time, that star shone only for me.
Now, I have to share him with the rest of the world.
For a while, I thought I could do it. Because, beneath the hypnotic smile, gorgeous body and God-given charm that made him famous, I still caught glimpses of my best friend.
Of the boy who called me sunshine and loved me.
I wore that love like a crown . . . until he placed it on another’s head.
Losing him was agony, distance felt like the only cure.
When tragedy reunites us after years apart, it only takes one touch to erase the past. Just like that, I'm back in his arms.
He promises this time will be different. But I’m afraid to believe him.
Because behind his star’s blinding brilliance is a darkness that doesn’t want to let him go.
I know a star that bright can’t belong to just one person, but my jealous heart doesn’t want to share him.
I want all of him . . . even if wanting what doesn't belong to me leads me to ruin.

I went into Envy slowly. I always enjoy Dylan Allen’s books and they honestly end quicker than I am ready for. I would stop and in between readings and this book made me think about my dreams and my hopes when I was younger and how my life turned out. Envy started deep and meaningful conversations between my husband and myself.

I really struggled at first with Graham’s mother. I couldn’t understand how or why a mother could... I’ll stop there because spoilers. Graham’s momma totally redeemed herself in my eyes at the police station. Sometimes it’s hard to get out of a situation. They are lucky she did. She ended up being stronger than I ever imagined.

Dylan Allen immediately captured my attention with her amazingly descriptive language. I could envision exactly what Graham was seeing, experiencing, and feeling those early years. The description of the lake area and how he would read with Apollo was incredibly heartwarming it and set the tone for the whole story to come.
Most Swoonable Quotes:
 

“I’m here to win you over and then ride off into the sunset with you.” SWOON

“Who wants safe when you can have the thrill of loving someone so much it aches when you’re not together?” YES!!!!! This just makes my heart happy!!

“I don’t want you to run after me, baby, I want you to run beside me.” YES! This just encompasses what we all want in a relationship.

I can’t recommend this book enough!! I loved the writing and steady flow of life over the years. I love how we see how people do things for the love of their family, giving up their wants and needs and putting others needs in front of their own. My heart aches throughout this story. Seeing a relationship build over the years out of love and adoration made my heart swell. This is a truly beautiful story!! I hope everyone read and falls in love with Apollo and Graham’s journey. Let me add that Apollo seriously kicked butt! My love for her grew to new heights by the ending.

I just have to add at the ending that I am so proud of this author. I've watched her writing grow over the last year or two. Her writing is beautiful and so creative. Thicker Than Water was one of my absolute favorites but this one is super close to overtaking it!

I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.
