EvePretentious. Arrogant. Condescending. Cruel.All words I’d used to label him. Exactly what I’d always believed he was. All that changed one spring morning when I realized I didn’t know the man behind the facade at all.Angry. Desperate. Broken. Mine.All words I’d use to define him after I interfered. Once our eyes locked, I was all in. There was no turning back. He tried to push me away, but I … He tried to push me away, but I refused to let him go. I was determined to save him. What I didn’t expect was that he would save me, too.
Cy
I was so close to ending my misery. Mere seconds away. Then she stumbled upon our argument, and I changed my plans. She wasn’t supposed to be there. She knew too much. Even with my entire world burning down around me, she wouldn’t walk away.
I’ve always been on my own. No one had ever fought for me before. Why should anyone start now? But she did, no matter how much I tried to stop her. I knew I was nothing, unworthy of her, but she was persistent. Once she got under my skin, I couldn’t let her go, because where I end, she begins.

I was pulled in and made to feel the emotions of the characters. It was well written interesting and had good characters. I enjoyed this and recommend it to all. I received it from booksprout and voluntarily left my review.
Eve and Cy start out as enemies but that changes once she finds out who Cy really is behind the mask. Cy is a tortured guy with a terrible past. I liked the fact that he got professional help for his issues. A good read about love and hope for anyone going through tough times.

This was a very enjoyable read. I thought Eve forgave Cy pretty quick after learning about his issues but j did like that she never questioned him. She was made pretty much for him.
A story that – in my opinion – lacks depth to it and the characters are not developing as much as I would like them to. The storyline and plot have a lot of potential but there are too many times where it is repetition and that made it a very slow read in spite of the fast pace of the story. At times the scenes were too unbelieveable and unreal. A lot happens in this story. Way to much to follow up on all the things and here is where it lacks depth.
But the story is an easy read that others maybe will find better than me. And that is how things should be.
It has drama and action.
A well-written emotional story that I was not putting down until I finished it. Eve and Cy’s story made you feel like you were watching it unfold, Parker was such a great friend. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is a very emotional read. A slow burning romance, enemies to lovers story. Evie and Cy ‘s book is complex and complicated. From Cy’s horrible treatment of Evie when they were teenagers, to Evie’s discovery of Cy’s darkest secret, their relationship has never been easy and has always been full of emotional turmoil. A gripping, engaging and moving read.
A beautiful, good, emotional, heartbreaking, touching and inspirational story. Cy bullied Eve for years in high school but years later Eve doesn’t hesitate to save Cy. A real epic love story that together healing each other with heart and Passion. Although I hope to find more on Parker a best friend to both Eve and Cy.

This is an epic story that will touch your heart. It is emotionally empowering and will have you identifying with the characters where we can see a little of ourselves in them at one time in our lives. Bullying is a serious problem in today’s society which evokes a lot of reactions in young adults some positive and some catastrophic.

Michelle Dare has done is again with an heartbreaking story about Cy and Eve. All throughout school Cy picks on Eve. Eve only has one friend in school and it’s heartbreaking what Cy does to her but she takes it like a trooper little do we know why Cy teases her.
Then the story picks up when there older and we find out why and no child should have to go through what Cy did but Eve’s there despite how Cy treated her in high school.
This is a great story on how Eve stands by Cy and helps him. In the beginning I hated Cy but throughout the story I understood why he did what he did. Get your tissues and be ready to read a story you can’t put down. A must read and definitely worth more then five stars!!!
Audio Version: A coming of age story that is brimming with ansgt & a few dark moments. Naratted with a duet which is my favourite type of naration. A tough subject matter that is controversial, with underlying tones of other subject matters are touched upon also. An enemies to lovers scenerio that began in high school and fast forwards to adulthood. The narrattors did an excellent undertaking of capturing and drawing out the dramatics on this visceral journey. Overall, writing & narrative are profundity resonate.
Where do I begin with this book? Seems my black heart is melting as Michelle Dare is now included in my elite group of authors making me cry. This book had me right from the start, as I could see between the lines with Eve and Cy. But what Dare did with this story, my heart broke, and melted at the same time. Dare takes a topic, actually two, and puts them in the forefront of how someone would heal and deal with being put into that situation.
My heart shattered for Cy. That scene literally breaks you in so many pieces and what Eve does for him is just awe inspiring. To be that person who was the brunt of his torment to being his savior. Eve is one of those girls who you want to be friends with. But the torment she endured in her past made her gun shy. But she comes out with a bang! I love how she takes control. There are some scenes that will have you fist pumping going HELL YA girl!
The one thing that was amazing is the passion between Eve and Cy. That spark is undeniable and when they come together is it fireworks. They play so well off of each other and feel each other physically and emotionally. No matter how they fight it. They belong together.
Overall, this is one brilliant, heart wrenching story that has you gripping your ereader. I know it did for me. This story will break you, melt you and inspire you. You will be wrapped up into this tale like no other. You will be left breathless and completely awestruck with what Dare has given us. As a huge fan of hers, the stories and writing just becomes more and more epic with each book that stalker level is close at hand. As of right now, she knows she’s lucky I love her LOL. I urge you to pick up this book and give it a chance as it will blow you away. PS when is Parker’s book?
This review is for the Audible version. Rating: 4.5 Stars
What made the experience of listening to Where I End the most enjoyable?
The voice actors of Ongel and Thom made for a very pleasurable experience. They had me falling in love with both the book and their work. I can’t wait to listen to more.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Where I End?
I think that if I were to answer this question I would have to listen to this book several times. But I thoroughly enjoyed how our actors went back and forth. This gives me more of a feeling that the characters are talking to me. Or I’m standing in the background watching the scenes unfold.
Which scene was your favorite?
I don’t really have a favorite because I enjoyed each scene as they went by. The book on a whole was one that I enjoyed from beginning to end.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I didn’t really have an extreme reaction but I did chuckle every so often and that just shows the great job that Ms. Ongel and Mr. Thom did in bringing Ms. Dare’s story to life. They did such a good job that I don’t think I could bring myself to read the book. I’d rather listen to the book a second time – oh, wait a minute I did do that.Once Cy starts to reveal what his life has been like, I do start to get very angry. No child should be treated like that. Then you get angry at his parent who seemed to turn a blinds eye to what he was going through.
Any additional comments?
Listening to a book is such a different experience than to sit and look as the words go by. We get a more visceral understanding. Even though there were times when I wanted to hit the adults that were supposed to know better, it didn’t take away from my enjoyment. I don’t know that I would have the same experience if this was read by any other voice actors. But I’m glad that I don’t have to find that out. I look forward to experiencing both our voice actors as well as this author again.
I voluntarily reviewed an Audiobook copy of this book.
I could not step away from this book. From the moment I read the Prologue, I knew it was going to be emotional but I wasn’t prepared for the depths of emotions this story would evoke. The author did an outstanding job of conveying the emotional turmoil of the characters and capturing their brokenness. But was also in this story is strength.
The amount of strength and grace Eve’s character had was near saint levels. She was the true savior in this story and the unwavering support she offered and provided to Cy was remarkable. She was there when she needed him and didn’t let him push her away she he did not want her around. She was an aspiring and admirable character.
Cy showed remarkable strength as well. With Eve’s persistence he was able to overcome the horror of his childhood and her light pushed out his darkness. Together they healed each other and evolved into a great love.
Parker was a great best friend to them both and I can’t wait for him to get his HEA in Where I Am when it’s released.
This was such a beautiful story and an absolute page turner.
5 Strong Stars!!!
Before you start this make sure to block a few hours off. Because you’ll be pissed if you have to put it down. This is not a book to read in pieces.
Eve went thru high school miserable and lonely. Her only friend she knew was using her to get to Cy. Cy was Eve’s bully. Only he called her Evie. Everyday he made a point to find her and torment her. She didn’t know why. Her only reasoning was Cy and his friends were from the rich part town, with the rich families and she wasn’t. Her mom was Cy’s moms assistant and he reminded her of it daily.
Six years later and Eve is still in town. When her family moved she took over her moms job. His mom works out of her house. She ends up seeing Cy everyday and with another woman on his arm. Eve hates to admit it to herself but it kills her. Eve would give anything for Cy to notice her for more then the poor girl who has no friends.
When Cy’s finally hit his rock bottom and he’s done with his fight. Cy decides to confront his mom one last time. Just as Cy’s about to throw his hands up and let go something shocking happens to him. His Evie appears outta nowhere. When she gives him her hand he’s shocked. But, he takes it and Evie takes him out of his living hell. It’s then that he can finally start to breathe and with the girl he’s always wanted but couldn’t have.
Eve was bullied everyday of her high school. But, that didn’t make her a timid little thing. She stuck up for herself and the people she cared about. Once she knew the story of Cy’s bullying she was totally OK with it. She’s a better woman then I am.
Cy was a broken man. Has been broken for most of his life. But, with the help of his Evie and best friend Parker he learns to live. And, the smiles and laughter he faked all those years, stopped being fake.
This story was filled with SO many emotions. Michelle did something you don’t read or watch often on TV. She didn’t give you the broken girl. The one who’s been abused both physically and verbally. No, it was the other way around. She wrote this story in such a way that you’ll feel it days after you finish it.
I got the audible version of Where I End by Michelle Dare, it is my first book by Michelle Dare..
This is a hate/love story .. Everything starts when Cy and Eve where in school.. Cy was not nice to Eve during those years, he was constantly bulling her making fun of her and hurting her.. she really went through a very hard time.. and to make matters worst Cy was the popular guy around the school, every body wanted to be him and every girl wanted to do him and that made it worse as it made Eve an easy target..
Years went by when finally they meet again under very extreme circumstances.. circumstances that change everything between them .. Cy doesn’t want Eve to know his truth, he doesn’t want her near, he doesn’t want Eve to know how broken he is.. he wants her to walk away but Eve won’t move and won’t leave him after seeing him like this so broken and lost..
Is not until Cy starts talking and being honest with Eve that she realize, why he was always like, why he kept hiding his suffering, his pained and hurt behind that mask of a strong and bold man.. because he also didn’t had an easy life.. his mother never protected him, his father passed away and his stepfather was and evil man who inflicted so much pain in Cy’s life.. He is the root of Cy’s broken sole..
Love can Conquer all and Eve made this happened .. no matter how many times Cy wanted to kick her out of his life so he won’t taint her with his past.. she won’t leave, she wanted to help him. she knew he needed her and she wasn’t going anywhere .. because her place was always next to him .. the man who hurt her but at the same time the man who made her feel alive…
