The characters are very relatable and realistic. When we assume we have it together, our arrogance blinds us in the decisions made. We take for granted those we need and love the most.

I was angry with Dakota and Alex on a lot of their decisions. Several times, I had to put my kindle down to give myself a mental break because I was so mad. I felt the confusion and uncertainty from Dakota. I could totally relate to her abandonment issues and how her life basically was driven by that fear of it.

Dude, Alex, is seriously intense for me! The love he has for Dakota is remarkable. I don't think I could have been that patient with someone I loved.

I loved the journey of this story! Confused, awkward, arrogance, grief, denial and the different forms of love!

A read I highly recommend and give you fair warning, grab tissues and a comfortable spot to curl up in. It's definitely a ride you'll enjoy!
