Eleanor & Grey by Brittainy C. Cherry


🌟🌟🌟🌟 out of 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Greyson East left his mark on me.
As the young girl who first fell for him, I didn’t know much about life. I did know about his smiles, though, and his laughs, and the strange way my stomach flipped when he was near.

Life was perfect…until it wasn’t, and when we were forced to go our separate ways, I held on to our memories, let go of my first crush, and wished for the day I’d find him again.

When my wish came true, it was nothing like I imagined.

I couldn’t have known when I took the nanny position that it would be his children I looked after, that my new boss would be that boy I used to know, that boy who was now a man—a cold, lonely, detached man.

The smile and laugh I had loved so much were gone, now distant memories. Every part of him was covered in a fresh pain.

When he realized who I was, he made me promise to do my job and my job only.
He made me promise not to try to get to know him, not to recall the memories I’d treasured all this time.

But, sometimes, I saw the boy I’d once known in his stormy eyes. I saw the Greyson who smiled and laughed, who had stolen a young girl’s heart, and there was no doubt in my mind that this boy was worth fighting for.

I was given a second chance with the one who’d left his mark on me. All I hoped was that somehow I’d leave a mark on his soul, too.

First of all, can we all just appreciate that beautiful cover for a minute?! I love the watercolors around the main characters. It is sooo pretty!
After I read the synopsis of Eleanor and Grey, I knew that I wanted to read it. Well that and .....I haven't read a bad book from Brittainy C, Cherry yet! I can honestly say that I really had no idea what I was getting into with this book. I should have had tissues next to me because it put me through the ringer emotional wise. 
Eleanor has got to be one of my all time favorite heroines when it comes to romance. I knew immediately that i liked and connected with her. I too hated parties because of the loud noise, too many people, and found that I was very different from my peers. I loved how she didn't really care about being accepted by others and found joy in reading and caring for those closest
to her. At first, I wasn't sure that I was going to like Grey because like Eleanor I judged him prematurely. I was thinking that he was going to be another jock love interest and almost wrote him off. He turned out to be much more than that and sports were more of a passing topic of conversation. I enjoyed the fact that neither of them were in need of "fixing" when they met but instead needed someone to be their friend. It was interesting to see the parallels between them and how they each seemed to come into the other's life when they were most needed. 
My heart broke for each of them throughout their struggles. Although, I found that Eleanor's struggles were much more relatable and emotional for me. I would attribute this to being more involved as a reader in what she was dealing with and only witnessing the aftermath of what Grey went through. I think that this is also why I was drawn more to the first half of the book far more than the second half. However, I loved the book as a whole as well. 
I would say that if you love Brittainy's other books or enjoy books by authors like Colleen Hoover, Amy Harmon, and/or Kandi Steiner than this book is right up your alley. I would recommend it but remember to bring your tissues.
