The story began alright but it becomes something more when we move further into the novel. The book surprised me, once I was comfortable read the story told from Bailey and Collins, the two main characters, perspectives and then bamm. We get another point of view as we get introduced to third character who will play an important part in this novel.
It's a clean cut YA romance book, so no hidden surprises or anything like that. It’s a sweet story and one that will tug at your heartstrings. Bailey for the last two years is still hurting in her dreams where she ponders over the day that changed her life. Collin is trying to keep to himself, not wanting to form many attachments. They meet and it’s the start of a beautiful relationship but it changes with the arrival of Savannah a childhood friend of Collin's.
I have to give this book four stars .The blur said that Bailey’s Aunt is identical to her sister Bailey’s mother but I didn’t see any description of her. We learn some of her quirks but I don’t remember Bailey describing or mentioning the fact. Oh and there two little kids who play an important part at the start of the book who are adorable and sweet and fit perfectly into this story. It's a great debut from this author and one not to miss.
