A Crack in Everything
I was a city girl with humble dreams. Then Dylan O’Dea broke into my flat, held me against the wall and told me to stay quiet.
It was like in the movies, where the universe zeros in on a single scene. I looked into his eyes and knew he was going to change me.
For Dylan, the sky was always falling. He showed me how our world is a contradiction of beauty and ugliness. How we choose to ignore the awful and gloss over it with the palatable. How you need just a tiny drop of something unsavoury to create every great scent.
Pretty deep for a pair of teenagers living in a block of council flats in inner city Dublin, right Probably. But we weren’t typical. We both had our obsessions. Mine was growing things, Dylan’s was scent. He taught me how to use my nose, and I introduced him to the magic of flowers.
I had no idea that one day he’d build an empire from what we started together. But before that, there was love and happiness, tragedy and epic heartbreak…
My name is Evelyn Flynn and I’m going to tell you about the crack in everything.
A Crack in Everything is Book #1 in L.H. Cosway’s Cracks duet.

He came back to me 16 minutes and 59 seconds into Beethoven’s Symphony no. 7.
We parted amid tragedy, so it seemed poetic. Dylan O’Dea, my childhood sweetheart, had once
meant everything to me. Now we were strangers, and honestly, after eleven years I never thought
I’d see him again.
I lived in the world of the average, of getting paid by the hour and budgeting to make ends meet. But
Dylan, he lived in the world of wealth and success. He’d achieved the great things I always suspected
he would. The dissatisfaction he’d felt as a teenager had obviously been an excellent motivator.
He started a business from scratch, pioneered a brand, and created perfumes adored by women
across the globe. I was just one of the people who’d been there before. Now he was living his best
life in the after.
And me, well, I’d been in a dark place for a while. Slowly but surely, I was letting the light back in, but there was something missing. I was an unfinished sentence with an ellipsis at the end. And maybe, if I was brave enough to take the chance, Dylan could be my happy ending.
How the Light Gets In is Book #2 and the concluding installment in L.H. Cosway’s Cracks duet.
Sinopse
Sinopse
Ele voltou para mim aos
16 minutos e 59 segundos da sinfonia de Beethoven no. 7.
Nós nos separamos em
meio à tragédia, então pareceu poético. Dylan O'Dea, meu namorado de adolescencia,
significava tudo para mim. Agora, éramos estranhos e, honestamente, depois de
onze anos, nunca pensei que o veria novamente.
Eu morava no mundo
normal ,trabalhando para pagar as contas no fim do mês. Mas Dylan vive no mundo
da riqueza e do sucesso. Ele conseguiu as grandes coisas que eu sempre
suspeitava
ele conseguiria. A
insatisfação que ele sentiu como adolescente, obviamente, foi um excelente
motivador.
Ele iniciou um negócio
a partir do zero, foi pioneiro em uma marca e criou perfumes adorados por
mulheres em todo o mundo. Eu era apenas uma das pessoas que conheci ele antes.
Agora ele estava vivendo a melhor vida no depois.
E eu, bem, eu estava
em um lugar escuro por um tempo. Lentamente, eu estava deixando a luz entrar de volta, mas
faltava algo. Eu era uma frase inacabada com uma elipse no final. E talvez, se
eu fosse corajosa o suficiente para aproveitar a chance, Dylan poderia ser o
meu final feliz.
When the Lights gets in é o Livro # 2 e a conclusão no duo de Cracks de L.H. Cosway.

Desculpe
você que não é religioso, mas para mim
não tem texto que expresse melhor a
Duologia Cracks e desculpe você que queria a resenha para cada livro e vai ler
uma , mas para mim eles formam um livro
único com uma mensagem forte de superação, como lutar por seus sonhos e amor,
muito amor incondicional.
Os livros
mostram a trajetória do amor de Evelyn e Dylan, duas pessoas que se conhecem na
adolescência com histórias de vida e expectativas bem diferentes.
Evelyn
é uma garota ingênua e pura que acredita que o mundo é um lugar bom para se
viver, mesmo tendo a dor de ter sido abandonada por sua mãe. Ela agradece pelo
amor da tia Yvonne que a criou e da avó que a ensinou a criar plantas . Tem no
amigo Sam ,sua base apoio e alegria. Ao conhecer Dylan ,todo um novo mundo se
abre aos seus olhos.
Dylan
é um garoto fechado, muito maduro para sua idade, mais realista que Evelyn pois
já sofreu duras penas. Um rapaz sério que cuida de seu pai e tem um objetivo de
vida bem definido que planejou há um tempo e fará de tudo para alcançar.
Apesar
da idade próxima , são muito diferentes um do outro e estão em momentos de vida
distintos, o amor entra em suas vidas de forma avassaladora. Dylan tem Evelyn
como sua musa e Evelyn vê Dylan como aquele que precisa ver a beleza da vida. É
essa jornada de amadurecimento e luta que acompanhei no livro 1 e 2.
No
primeiro livro, eles ainda são adolescentes descobrindo a rudeza e beleza de um
mundo cruel e ao mesmo tempo brilhante e cheio de aromas e lembranças . Vivem
muitas experiências com seus amigos Sam , Connor e Amy , inclusive uma tragédia
que muda suas vidas para sempre.
No
segundo livro, que mais parece um grande epílogo do livro um, já encontramos
eles adultos e com outra visão da vida. Dylan se tornou um poderoso empresário
e perfumista e Evelyn ainda continua presa a um momento do passado e sem
expectativas e sonhos.Ela apenas quer ajudar Yvonne em seu novo negócio. Dylan
está decidido a fazer Evelyn ver o valor
que tem e voltar a ver cores e aromas num mundo sombrio alem voltar a amar
intensamente.
Sinceramente
gostei bem mais do livro um que do livro dois, pois Evelyn está irritantemente
confusa no livro dois e isso me deixou frustrada com a leitura, mas admito que
sem esse livro eu jamais perceberia a mensagem macro da escritora e a relação
com a passagem que copiei no início da resenha nem o fato de que cada um dos
protagonistas precisava viver seu próprio momento e que no tempo apropriado
cada um a seu modo ajudaria o outro a perceber beleza além das paredes de suas
muralhas.
A
duologia se completa e se encaixa linda e poeticamente com referências de Matrix
e muita musicalidade e sinestesia. E pensar que quase não pego os livros por
achar pelas capas que eram fantasias YA e não new adult como
realmente são.
4/5
estrelas.

Review
“Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
A
Time for Everything
3 For
everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:

a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
3 a time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;

a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 a time to seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 a time to tear, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 a time to love, and a time to hate;
a time for war, and a time for peace.”

Sorry
if you are not religious, but for me it has no better text to expresses the
Cracks Duets and sorry if you wanted a review for each book and will read only one,
but for me they form a unique book with a strong message of overcoming, how
fight for your dreams and love, so much unconditional love.
The
books show a trajectory of Evelyn and Dylan’s love , two teenagers with histories of life and very different
expectations.
Evelyn
is a naive and pure girl who believes that the world is a good place to live,
even having a pain of having been abandoned by her mother. She thanks for the
love of Aunt Yvonne who created her and her grandmother who teaches her to grow
flowers. She has in her friend Sam, her base of support and joy. When she met
Dylan, a whole new world opens up in her eyes.
Dylan
is a closed boy, very mature for his age, more realistic than Evelyn already
has suffered hard pains. A serious young man who takes care of his father and
has a well-defined life goal that he planned a while ago and will do everything
to achieve.
In
spite of the next age, they are very different and are in different stages of
life, the love enters their lives of overwhelming form. Dylan has Evelyn as his
muse and Evelyn sees Dylan as a guy need to see a beauty of life. It is this
journey of maturity and struggle that I followed in Book 1 and 2.
In
the first book, there is still the discovery of a life and beauty of a world
cruel and yet bright and full of aromas and memories. They live many
experiences with their friends Sam, Connor and Amy, including a tragedy that
changes their lives forever.
In
the second book, what else looks like a great epilogue for the previous book,
They are already adults with another
view of life. Dylan becomes a powerful entrepreneur and perfumer and Evelyn
still remains trapped in a moment of the past and without expectations and
dreams. She just wants to help Yvonne in her new business. Dylan is determined
to make Evelyn see the value she has and once again see colors and scents in a
dark world .
I
honestly liked the book one much better than book two, for me Evelyn is
annoyingly confused in Book Two and this frustrates me a lot, but I admit that
without this book I would never perceive the writher’s macro message and the
relation to the passage I copied in beginning of the review nor the fact that
each of their protagonists needed to live their own moment and that at the
appropriate time each one their help one
another to see beauty beyond the walls of their big heart’s walls.
The
duology completes and fits beautifully and poetically with Matrix references
and lots of musicianship and synaesthesia. And to think that I almost didn’t
get the books because I thought the covers that were YA fantasy and not a
contemporary romance as they really are.
4/5
