About the book
A forbidden friends-to-lovers romance, from the New York Times bestselling author of the TikTok sensation Archer's Voice
....................
The light of love has always found its way into even the darkest of places, from the beginning of time to the end of the world.
There is a place in today's America with no electricity, no plumbing, and no modern conveniences. In this place, there is no room for dreams, no space for self-expression, and no tolerance for ambition.
In the community of Acadia lives a boy named Calder with the body of a god and the heart of a warrior. He serves his family with faith and honour, but he dares to dream of more . . . especially when an angel-faced girl his age is brought to their community. To Acadia, Eden is obedient perfection, prophesized to lead them to eternal peace, but to Calder, even at first glance, she is so much more.
Calder and Eden were never meant to be friends. Certainly never meant to fall in love. After all, Eden is betrothed to Acadia's leader, secluded until the day of her destiny. But as she and Calder steal fleeting moments and forbidden kisses, their hearts grow dangerously tangled, and it's too late to heed the warnings.
In Acadia, they can never be together. But Acadia is all they know. If they want any chance at a future, they must risk everything to choose between the life they were taught to live and the dream their hearts want to follow.
*Becoming Calder is the first book in the Acadia Duology, followed by Finding Eden*

4.0„Ready Eden?“ - „Yes“, as long as you’re beside me, I’m ready for anything.
Dieses Buch hatte für mich eine eher ungewöhnliche Geschichte, weswegen es mich auch interessiert hat. Eden und Calder sind bereits als Kinder gefangen in einer Sekte. Eden soll mit dem Anführer verheiratet werden, jedoch kommen sich Eden und Calder im Laufe ihrer Jugend immer näher und zweifeln langsam an dem, was ihnen seit ihrer Kindheit eingeredet wird. Können Calder und Eden noch vor der Verheiratung fliehen, oder müssen sie ihre Liebe für immer verheimlichen? Teilweise bin ich beim Lesen nicht ganz so zügig voran gekommen, wie es normal der Fall war, dennoch hat mir dieses Buch gefallen und ich bin auf den zweiten Teil gespannt. Ich hätte mir eine Triggerwarnung vorab gewünscht, es wird das Thema gezwungene Abtreibung behandelt. Wirklich friends to lovers, so wie es beschrieben ist, ist es jedoch nicht, da die beiden nie befreundet waren.
