It happened in stages.
My father left.
My twin sister died of an incurable autoimmune disease.
My mother started breaking down.
Then I was diagnosed with the very thing that took my other half from me.
That was when I realized Mama’s eyes turned gold when she cried.
So I moved in with my father and his new family—new wife, new son, new stepbrother.
Kaiden Monroe made me feel normal.
Hated. Cared for. Loathed. And … loved.
Somewhere along the way, I’d found solace in the boy with brooding eyes.
But everything happens in stages.
And nothing good ever lasts.

Excerpt
We walk for what feels like forever until I see a large sycamore tree in the middle of a field of purple flowers. It seems out of place, yet perfectly set at the same time.
Kaiden walks over to it and sits down, leaning his back against the thick trunk. He seems at peace, which is a new look for him. His body is eased as he stretches his long legs out without a care in the world.
I stare. Not just at him, but at the tree. It’s huge with its long branches and bright green leaves transitioning into yellow and orange and red that give the space a beautiful kind of life. Lo would have loved this spot. She would have dragged me out and stayed here until Mama called our names in frantic worry. Lo always wanted to be free, out in the open, surrounded by trees and plants and animals.
Suddenly, the tears that had finally stopped falling on the way over begin building again until everything blurs. Bottom lip trembling, I hear Kaiden’s heavy sigh.
“What’s wrong now?”
I answer silently what my emotions won’t let me speak aloud.
Lo was buried under a sycamore tree.
My Thoughts <3
As a reader you have certain expectations when you open a new book. I knew that UtST was going to be emotional, but y’all, I cannot explain all of the emotions that I felt while reading this book. The blurb is absolutely perfect, the cover is beautiful, and the book is an emotional ride that is not only a wonderful and REAL story, but I think it is a must read. For everyone.
There are no guarantees in life, death does not care how loved you are or how popular you are or how powerful you are. It is death, infinite, and unwavering. UtST will make a reader want to pull all of their loved ones in and give them a big huge and let them know just how much you care. Emily is one of the strongest heroines that I have read about in a freaking while with a huge heart and Kaiden, oh he is a special one!
Please read Underneath the Sycamore Tree. Make sure you have tissues handy because it IS that emotional, but I can promise you that you will be glad that you did. 10 stars.
PS: Thank you so much to B Celeste and GMB PR for allowing me an advanced copy of the book to read and review honestly. I am so proud to be able to help promote this special book.
