Eleanor & Grey

Brittainy C. Cherry

"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"--Amazon.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

brittainy c cherry puts so much depth and love into her characters and their character arcs which in turn contributes to her beautiful storytelling

one of my favorite second chance romances with past history of first loves and single dad + nanny trope !!

not just a second chance love story but also an emotional story about grieving and healing. i love that we get to see eleanor and grey be there for each other during their worst, broken times. 

“Maybe all people needed sometimes was for someone to keep showing up for them during the hard days, even when they tried their best to push everyone away.”

So this book was a major disappointment... 

The book follows 2 characters and we get to know how they met. It's divided into 2 parts, part 1 set in 2003 is when they were young and in high school and part 2 is after 16 years later when they meet again.

To be honest I wasn't interested at all in the first half. I didn't care about the characters nor how they fell in love. It was honestly boring and kind of depressing. But in the second half? It was worse.

 Let me tell you why *SPOILERS* 

Eleanor has always liked babysitting since she was 16, so when she grew up, she decided that she's going to be a nanny as her full-time job. Suddenly she loses her current nannying job and gets employed immediately by (yup you guessed it) Greyson. 

Greyson's wife died in an accident 10 months ago and he's still grieving his wife. He meets Eleanor due to his grieve he doesn't acknowledge her at all and just hire without saying a word. Now, you might ask, won't they fall in love again and fix each other blah blah blah? Well, kind of. 

Eleanor is still not over Greyson and still in love with him after 16 YEARS. And here we have Grey who already moved on, fell in love with another woman, got married and had TWO KIDS.

Greyson is still in love with his wife and cant move on. What's worse, he called Eleanor by his dead wife's name. Yep, that's enough I cant rant anymore.

Greyson East ve mně zanechal svoji trvalou stopu. Když jsem se do něho jako mladá dívka poprvé zamilovala, o životě jsem toho moc nevěděla. Ale již brzy jsem věděla vše o jeho úsměvu, hlasitém smíchu i motýlech v břiše, které jsem cítila pokaždé, když mi byl nablízku. Život byl dokonalý… jenže pak se to všechno pokazilo a každý z nás byl nucen jít dál svojí vlastní cestou. Nechala jsem svou první lásku být, držela jsem se vzpomínek a žila jen pro ten den, kdy se znovu shledáme. Když se mé přání konečně splnilo, vůbec to nebylo tak, jak jsem si představovala. Když jsem se rozhodla přijmout práci chůvy, nemohla jsem tušit, že to budou jeho děti, o něž se budu muset starat, a že mým novým šéfem bude právě ten kluk, kterého jsem kdysi znala. Ten kluk, z něhož byl nyní muž – chladný, osamělý, odtažitý muž. Jeho sladký úsměv i nakažlivý smích, jež jsem kdysi tolik milovala, zůstaly už jen vzdálenou vzpomínkou. Potýkal se se silnými pocity smutku a bolesti ze ztráty. Když si uvědomil, kdo jsem, donutil mě ke slibu, že budu dělat jenom svou práci a nic jiného než svou práci. Přinutil mě, abych mu slíbila, že se ho nebudu snažit znovu poznat, že se nepokusím znovuoživit vzpomínky, které jsem si celou tu dobu hýčkala. Ale občas jsem v jeho divokých očích zahlédla toho chlapce, jehož jsem kdysi znávala. Viděla jsem toho Greysona, který se usmíval a hlasitě smál, který ukradl srdce mladé dívce. A ani v nejmenším jsem nepochybovala o tom, že za toho chlapce stojí bojovat. Dostala jsem druhou šanci usilovat o někoho, kdo hluboce poznamenal můj život. Mohla jsem jen doufat, že i já jsem dokázala zanechat stopy na jeho duši.
