Publisher Description
He's the bad influence they're always warning us about.
And I'm the girl who should know better.
Hunter Reed is off limits. Not only because he's a walking grenade who talks with his fists but because he doesn't worship the right God.
We grew up adjacent, not together. Our houses are divided by a creek, but our lives are divided by our prejudices, our pain, and a religion I don't have the courage to leave. But lately I find myself unable to look away from him. He's seeping in, becoming the best and worst parts of this small-town life. And I have no idea what to do with these feelings growing inside me.
Whatever this is between us, it's going to destroy us both…
Annie Wilson is a Jehovah's Witness, a good girl, and deeply unhappy. Everyone can see that. She's just too busy knocking on people's doors to realise it. But there's a shift in her lately. She's waking up and getting curious about the world she's been shielded from. And of all the people she could turn to during her rebellious stage, she picks me.
I don't know why I play along. Maybe to stop her from doing something she'll regret. But where's the line? Because there's no coming back from the place we're headed.
Annie can pray all she wants, but no God of hers can save us from each other…
Shards of You and Me is a high-angst stand-alone forbidden romance packed with family drama. It contains language and themes intended for mature readers.
Trigger warnings: Child sexual abuse and alcoholism.

Hidden gem
This book was (and shouldn’t have been) a surprise. I went in to this read skeptical and it’s not my normal and loved it. It gave me a greater understanding of a religion I didn’t know about and the love interest in the book, I couldn’t help cheering them on. The characters are well written. Loved the story. 100% Read it, you won’t be disappointed.
Excellent story, AGAIN !!!
I love reading Tanya Bird novels. Such a beautiful story teller. Grabs my heart from the first word. Thank you for sharing your gift and passion.
Couldn’t put it down♥️All the feels
Over too quickly-laughed, cried, fell in love, broken-hearted… & repeat. These characters are so human, lovable, broken, & relatable. I didn’t want the pages to end. This is a book I will read over & over again. I felt every emotion. Best rollercoaster! It is brilliant!
