Description (Amazon):- Lexi and Mia are inseparable from the moment they start high school. Different in so many ways – Lexi is an orphan and lives with her aunt on a trailer park, while Mia is a golden girl blessed with a loving family, and a beautiful home. Yet they recognize something in each other which sets them apart from the crowd, and Mia comes to rely heavily on Lexi’s steadfast friendship.
Mia’s beloved, and incredibly good-looking, twin brother Zach, finds life much less complicated than his sister. Jude thought she’d never have to worry about her son, that he’d always sail through life easily achieving whatever he, and his family, wanted and expected – but then he fell in love.
The summer they graduated is a time they will always remember, and one they could never forget. It is a summer of love, best friends, shared confidences and promises. Then one moment one night changes them all forever. As hearts are broken, loyalties challenged and hopes dashed, the time has come to leave childhood behind and learn to face the future.
Review:- I was hooked on this book from the first chapter. The authors words just flew and the style was heartbreakingly beautiful .
Its a story of friendship, love and grief and how time can try to heal all wounds.
Lexi and and Mia are best friends, Lexi becomes part of there family and overtime she and Mia’s twin brother fall in love. The 3 are inseparable and when a tragic accident takes one of them things are never the same.
We see the family suffer and try to get past what is happened, the mothers grief is particularly deep and really reached out to me. The characters spend many years trying to piece there lives back together and as a parent I could understand Jude in a way I never would of pre kids .
Its not a happy book, I spent the last 50 or so pages reading through the tears but it is a good book. Sometimes i felt the time jumps were to much – to much focus on the mothers grief and not enough on other events for example and the ending felt rushed and i wanted to know more.
I would recommend this book. Its not light and easy but I did finish it and smile.
