    About this audiobook

    I won my first fight when I was eleven years old, and I've been throwing punches ever since. Fighting is the purest, truest, most elemental thing there is. Some people describe heaven as a sea of unending white, where choirs sing and loved ones await. But for me, heaven was something else. It sounded like the bell at the beginning of a round, and it tasted like adrenaline.

    For me, heaven was the octagon. Until I met Millie, and heaven became something different. I became something different. I knew I loved her when I watched her stand perfectly still in the middle of a crowded room, people swarming, buzzing, slipping around her. No one seemed to see her at all, except for the few who squeezed past her, tossing exasperated looks at her unsmiling face. When they realized she wasn't normal, they hurried away. Why was it that no one saw her, yet she was the first thing I saw?

    If heaven was the octagon, then she was my angel at the center of it all, the girl with the power to take me down and lift me up again. The girl I wanted to fight for, the girl I wanted to claim. The girl who taught me that sometimes the biggest heroes go unsung and the most important battles are the ones we don't think we can win.

      I loved this book but was very skeptical to start listening to it and am glad I gave it a chance. I cried from the start till the end. As always my two favourite narrators did not disappoint
    • 5/5
      I'm not sure what to say. I just finished the book and have tears running down my face at the moment. I finished this book in 2 days, I could not stop listening. Zachary Webber is one of my favorite narrators and IMO can make you feel with any character he portrays. I laughed at Henry, cried with Tag and felt deeply with Milly. This was a great book, even though it has left me in a state of sadness at the moment.♥️

      loved it! love how the author writes and how special this second book is
    • 5/5
      Absolutely amazing I loved both books well worth listening to
    • 5/5
      This one was hard for me. I usually avoid books where one of the topics is cancer.
      I didn't know anything about the storyline when I started reading and I don't know if I would have read it anyway.
      But it is a wonderful book. With wonderful characters and a beautiful story. I love Amy Harmon's style of writing. And this one is one of her bests. The narrators were great. Both of them.
