It’s the same old story, really.
Good versus evil.
Heroes versus villains.
Light versus dark.
For two years, college freshman Noah Morgan lived his life somewhere in the middle, fighting darkness and light, always searching for answers to a single question:
Why, Noah, why?
The same three words keep him up at night, struggling for air while gripping a plastic cylinder containing white pills to match the white label with his name printed in ink as deep and dark as his memories—memories that turned him into a recluse.
A shut-in.
An introvert.
Luckily for him, that’s not how the girl next door sees him.

My Darkness Matters Review . . .
I wasn't sure what to except from this book. The blurb doesn't give too much away, but its a Jay McLean book so I was all in, no matter what.
I have to admit the start was quite slow for me but the more I read the more I started to get encased into the story. And then I was emotionally all in. Thankfully I stuck out the start because this book had so much beauty in it.
Andie and Noah have so much in common but don't realize it. At first they are drawn to each other but each other's past and darkness keeps them apart. From the beginning you are dying to find out what happened in both of their lives to create such darkness and slowly as the book progresses we start to find out what happened and all the puzzle pieces start to fit together.
This book is not your typical love story. It's outside the norm of this genre the way it was written and the story was set up. However, its still a beautiful love story.

"You're fucking incredible, Andie, and I can't not look at you."

~ And I realize now, in this minuscule of moments, that Noah Morgan isn't an enigma or a paradox or a complete and utter mystery.
Noah Morgan is a gift-giving, soul-sharing, heart-stealing boy next door . . .~
This book is not your typical love story. It's outside the norm of this genre the way it was written and the story was set up. However, its still a beautiful love story.
"I learned that sometimes, there is no reason, and there are no answers. There just is. We exist in this world where we know nothing. Where we feel like we are nothing. But we are. We are, Andie. And everything we feel, the good, the bad, the dark . . . it matters. And it may not matter to you , but it matters to the people around you . . ."
This book felt so different than Jay's others but just as good. It was dark, loving and beautiful.
