Loving The Girl in the Tutu (Uncontrolled Heroes Book 3)

By K.L. Donn

When you start a book and then decide to set it aside for the meantime.

Not because you did not like the book, but because as you go deeper into it, you know that you HAVE to devote a whole afternoon to a story lovingly written by an author you admire. A story where, from the dedication written at the start, you know will be an emotional one.

That is when you know the book is the best she has written so far.

I have been looking forward to reading Beckett and Royal’s story ever since K.L. Donn gave her readers a head’s up. The title itself, “Loving the Girl in the Tutu,” was in itself a hint that this book will be a doozy, and it was.

Loving the Girl in the Tutu is the story of a girl who was conceived to become her sick sister’s leash on life. It is the story of a boy who saw a girl dressed in a tutu dancing heart out on the beach.

It is the story of a boy who saw his future with a girl whose eyes reflected only despair.

Loving the Girl in the Tutu may have been the last book in K.L. Donn’s Uncontrolled Heroes series, but to me, it was the one that packed the most punch with all the feels.

Loving the Girl in the Tutu is not a simple story. The ending itself, even with the happily-ever-after, is poignant and heartbreaking at the same time.

K.L. Donn crafted a story of love and loss. We are witness to difficult choices, between siblings and parents, freedom, and suffering.

We witnessed a family torn apart by parents faced with the specter of losing a child, and their desperate attempts to fight the inevitable. We witnessed a love so pure between siblings willing to sacrifice their own happiness, so that the other may see a future filled with dreams.

Most of all, we witnessed never-ending courage and determination to stand and fight for a future filled with happiness.

Royal and Beckett, and yes, Leia, will tug your heartstrings, but in the end, their story is proof that love does conquer all.

If you, dear reader, have not picked up a K.L. Donn creation before, this is your chance to do so.
