“You know, Rose, I know you feel it, too. It’s okay to be a little afraid. But this is how the good ones start.”Wow. I don't even know where to begin or put into perspective on how utterly raw, beautiful, touching, and heartbreaking The Mind by Kate Stewart is. I am blown away by the sheer force and magnitude of raw emotions swirling in this novella. My heart, soul, and mind have been consumed by the story of Grant and Rose.
If you haven't read The Fall then I highly recommend you to because that book was just as emotional, heartbreaking, and devastatingly beautiful. Also, you would have read about Grant and Rose's story and relationship in that book and so when you read The Mind, you would have a much better understanding of their relationship and how it all began.
The beginning. The start of Grant and Rose. Honestly, there are some authors who can pull off writing a love at first sight storyline and some not so much. But Kate Stewart pulled it off and so much more. Right off the opening pages and till the very last page, Kate consumed me. Her gorgeous and stunning prose gripped my heart and mind. Every raw emotions were captured and felt throughout the pages. Kate didn't leave any stone unturned. She gutted her readers. She made them FEEL. Feel the spark. The hope. The fear. The sadness. The uncertainty. The truth. And most importantly, to FEEL THE LOVE. A love that is so pure. So simple. So understanding. So magical. A love that only speaks the truth. A love that is unforgettable. A love that will stain your heart, have a piece of your soul, and forever be etched into your mind.
“Please, Grant, take me.”“I intend to, Rose. I intend to take all of you: your heart, soul, body, and mind. Even when I do have all of you, it still won’t be enough.”Kate Stewart did not only write a heartbreaking and beautiful tale of love but she was able to capture the essence of her characters and brought them to life. Instantly, I loved Grant. Everything about him made me fall in love with him hard. Yes, I loved Grant and so you could imagine how emotional I got reading this book. Grant's confidence and love for Rose was earth shattering. It was the kind of love you thought you could only find and read in fairytales and see in the movies. And so to read a LOVE STORY that is so pure, simple, and honest, my heart was captured by Grant. They say a love so powerful can never be forgotten. It doesn't dies but lives on. And so Kate Stewart did that and so much more. My mind and heart fell in loved with the story of Rose and Grant.
“Why are you so intent on forever with me?” He looked at his lap on an exhale before he turned his heavy gaze to me. “Because that’s what my heart told me the second I looked at you. And for the first time in my life, I’m letting it lead the way.”What else is there to say but go read The Fall and The Mind. Get lost and consumed with Kate Stewart's characters and storyline. Get ready to feel the love. Feel your heart racing and pumping as you get consumed with the whirlwind of raw emotions. Get ready for the unthinkable. Get ready for the heartbreak. But most importantly, get ready to fall in LOVE with the story of Grant and Rose.
“For the first time in my life, I was letting the romantic reign and it felt incredible. I was lost in love and I didn’t give a damn how hard I’d fallen back into reality the last time.”Kate~ Thank you again for writing another beautiful, heartbreaking, and endearing story. Thank you for writing a character like Grant. Thank you for gifting us another story that I know comes from your heart.
