USA Today Bestselling author Alexandra Silva brings you a heart-wrenching, coming of age romance. First love might be the sweetest, but it's also the one that cuts the deepest. Get your tissues ready to dive in to this prequel to Someone Like You.

Phillip Cavendish was the boy I grew up with. My brother’s best friend, he was always out of reach.

Until he wasn’t.
Then, he became my everything. The one who owned my heart, and made my soul shine. We were two kids so in love that we failed to see each others’ faults and flaws.

When we should’ve let go, we held on tighter—loved deeper, fought harder—and we won. Until all that was left were my tears.

I loved him through them,too. Hoping that my devotion would be enough to hold us together. But sometimes the fairy tale has no happy end, and we have no choice but to let go even when it shatters your heart to smithereens.

Sometimes to get your happy ending, you must walk through hell.

Emotional Read

Reviewed in Australia on 28 September 2018

Dorian and Philip's story is definitely not an easy one. There's a whole lot of emotions in this one so be sure to have your tissues handy. I have to say though that I'm glad the author went this way. Not all love stories are sunshine and rainbows and sometimes bad things happen. My heart broke for these characters and I recommend if you're looking for a book that will give you a good cry.

This is the second book I've read by this author and wow did I like it just as much as the first. This was an emotional story that I couldn't walk away from

Superb Emotional Rollercoaster

Take great care where and when you read this achingly beautiful and emotionally charged story from Alexandra Silva, as you are bound to suffer torrential ugly cries and need copious boxes of tissues!

This somewhat prequel, somewhat full length novella story of Dorian and Phillip will confuse readers if they have not already read No One But You, as it seems to have trouble finding it's place in line with that story, and as such does jump around a little.
But this is a story those of us that did read Quincy and Jamie's story have been longing for, and it's a case of be careful what you wish for because Ms Silva delivers on the glorious love story and heart breaking eventuality that is Dory and Pip.

I just loved Dory, she is my champion in this book.
Such a strong, sensual, deeply emotional and otherworldly wise character, I ached for her and felt every tear of her emotional journey throughout this classic tale of love and loss.
You cannot deny hers and Phillips love, as it is so sublimely portrayed by the author, but I found myself wanting to intervene; to protect her somehow from the pain she endures, such is the connection I felt through Ms Silva's words.

Phillip on the other hand, was different from what I had expected from the glimpse of him we got from Book 1.
He's deeply passionate and his love for Dory is unquestionable, but his commitment is mercurial and hints at a troubled flighty soul, making him difficult to really get behind him, particularly when I'd clearly signed my allegiance to "Team Dory".

The supporting characters in this tale all show their rich personalities throughout this rollercoaster ride of emotions, blending the story well to No One But You, and we get to see more of the building connection between Jake and Dory to set the stage for them in coming offerings from Ms Silva.
I for one, am waiting impatiently for the next chapter in the Imperfect Hearts series!

For You is the second book for this author and continues with the story of Dorian and Quincy’s brother Phillip and starting with the when Jamie announces he is going to America. If you haven’t read the first book you need to do so for it to make sense.

The story also adds some more background knowledge to the character’s college and earlier relationship years giving us some insight into each one. This is a must for Phillip seeing as he can’t do it any other way.

Some fabulous humour can be found in the story, for example when Dorian is describing Willow-“Always so eager to get going, that our mother ended up going into labour almost four weeks early. I’d say I was to blame too, but she was the first out and I flat out refused. In the end they had to get me out through the sunroof via C-section.” 😂 Likewise there is incredible heartbreak too, you know it’s coming but this author does such a great job you find yourself fully immersed in the scenes and going through every emotion. There were times as well that I could have cheerfully slapped Phillip too! Plus the intimacy is red hot but doesn’t overpower the story.

The story is fast paced and flowed smoothly making it super easy to read and not want to put down! You can really see how far this author has come in her writing just from her first book to this second one. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and am already looking forward to the next book in the series

Not all Hearts and “Sun”flowers

When Alex asked me to Beta read her new book baby “For You” – the prequel to her forthcoming release “Someone Like You” (or indeed the prequel to her amazing debut novel “No One But You” - as this is set before Jamie and Quincy finally find their happiness) I was honoured but a little apprehensive. I already knew some of the story and knowing it was not going to have a happy ending with Dory and Pip living happily ever after, something I usually avoid when selecting my books, I was terrified that I would be left bereft when it ended.

Not only that, but after reading “No One But You” and the glimpse we had into the history of Dory and Pip, I made no secret of my dislike of the character of Phillip. However – somehow Alex managed to make me love and hate him all at the same time.

I digress…

Yet again I was hooked from the first page and devoured the book in one sitting.

“For You” tells the story of how Dory and Pip’s romance first blossoms. Starting out as a sweet love story with hearts and “sun”flowers – totally the young love we all get lost in - I was actually angry at myself for finding Phillip sweet and tender - his love for Dory just oozes from the page with some beautiful and romantic gestures.

As the story progresses we soon realise that there are elements of uncertainty for their future particularly with Phillip’s hot headedness and lack of consideration for Dory – especially when it comes to his responsibilities. On more than one occasion I went from swooning like a teenager to practically throwing my kindle at the wall!

The angst, emotion and turmoil that Dory has to endure is absolutely heart-breaking but it only makes me love her even more.

As I’ve said before, Alexandra's story telling ability and her wonderful character building skills pulled me in. I really felt everything alongside Dory especially her devastating grief near the end. But her strength and determination pull her through and I cannot tell you how much I am looking forward to the next book because that epilogue – Wow – it left me desperate for more! I need that story yesterday!

“For You” is a beautifully written contemporary romance with brilliant wit and charm coupled with absolute tragedy and heartbreak.

I rate this book as 5 stars. Definitely one to read! Alexandra is already on my automatic one click list and this book just confirms my belief in an amazingly talented author. Congratulations Alexandra!

Two words! …… “You’re enough!” …..almost enough to make me forget about my dislike for Phillip…almost! 😊😉💗🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

Rooted in reality, this is a tragic tale of love and loss.

For You by Alexandra Silva is an emotional, contemporary romance and the prequel to No One But You. As the second book in the series, it was great revisiting with all of the characters and stepping into their past. In No One But You, I was intrigued by Dorian and curious about her backstory. This book answered all the questions about the events that led to her current situation.

The story follows the relationship between Dorian and Phillip, her good friend Quincy's brother, as they navigate the challenges that arise for those who are young and in love. It also sets the foundation for the next book which is a continuation of Dorian's story. Rooted in reality, this is a tragic tale of love and loss. Overall, I enjoyed it.

Beautiful and heartbreaking. Dorian is my kind of heroine!

When I was introduced to Dorian in No One But You I was immediately intrigued by her and what her story was and how or why she’d ended up in her current situation.
For You is a prequel to No One But You and it was so good to be back with not only Dorian but also with her sister Willow, their brother Jamie and Quincy.

For You gave me Dorian’s beautiful and heartbreaking story of love and losing it. She falls in love with her close friend Quincy‘s brother Phillip.
Their love captures and explores what it feels to be young and in love. Having fun with your friends and just enjoying life.
Dorian is a remarkable young woman who loves her twin sister Willow, their brother Jamie and their parents. She cares so much and takes a lot on her shoulders when it’s not really necessary. Phillip made me scratch my head a couple of times because of his behavior and choices. Despite of that nothing could take away the love he had for Dorian. Together when it was good their love shined like a beacon. Overshadowing everything. Pure and real filled with passion.

Love isn’t always happy endings. Love and life can throw curveballs at you when you least expect it and you can either seize the moment or run away from it all. For You captures that beautifully through Phillip and Dorian. Their story is real, relatable and painful. I wanted Dorian’s past history and Alexandra Silva delivered. She made me go through emotions, made me hurt and swoon leaving me wanting to know how Dorian’s story ends. I’m so excited to find out. Cause you can’t leave me hanging like that ;)
