What follows next is one strange courtship, where Nora pursues the unwilling Leo. When he stumbles upon Nora, their fates collide, and they instantaneously connect. However, having invested all his energy and resources into building better lives for themselves, Leo has always neglected the wants of his heart in the process. He raised his younger brother Sebastian into a responsible young man who emotional intelligence and wit can only be matched by his empathy and kindness towards those around him. Determined to ensure that his brother never lacks a thing in his life- he put his dreams aside and worked effortlessly to for them to have all the opportunities their parents would have wanted them to have. Madden-Mills story also introduces us to Leo Tate, a young man who lost his parents at a tender age- forcing him to be an adult overnight- responsible for himself and his younger brother. However, having been brought up by a mother who has made her feel inadequate and worthless, the hardest thing for our heroine is to learn self-love. She thrashes away all the things that have made her life a living hell, rebels against anyone or anything that has held her spirit captive and embarks on a journey of rediscovering herself and self-acceptance. All it takes is one episode and Nora’s life changes forever. Her self-control is swiftly slipping away from her fingers more each day and experiencing more panic attacks which were once only in her mind. In other words- she’s not the perfect young girl everyone around her see, but instead, she’s a time bomb.
