Synopsis: Kyle and Kimberly have been the perfect couple all through high school, but when Kimberly breaks up with him on the night of their graduation party, Kyle’s entire world upends—literally. Their car crashes and when he awakes, he has a brain injury. Kimberly is dead. And no one in his life could possibly understand.

Until Marley. Marley is suffering from her own loss, a loss she thinks was her fault. And when their paths cross, Kyle sees in her all the unspoken things he’s feeling.

As Kyle and Marley work to heal each other’s wounds, their feelings for each other grow stronger. But Kyle can’t shake the sense that he’s headed for another crashing moment that will blow up his life as soon as he’s started to put it back together.

And he’s right.

Review: For the most part I thought that the book was fairly well done. The book had a lot of emotion behind it and I thought that the characters were well done which is too good things that you want to look for when you are reading a ya contemporary. I also thought that the author did well with the pacing of the book.

However I really didn't like the storyline that well and the two characters relationship really drove me batty. I don't really think that they should have been together and the relationship feels very unhealthy. The book dry sound the point that these two are epic lovers but really it just feels very dysfunctional and something that I would see in divorce court within two years of their marriage.

Verdict: It was good, just didn’t flow that well for me.
