Sick Day is the first book that I have read by Morgan Parker and it won't be my last.  The best way to describe this story, is unique.  It is not your typical love story in my opinion. It is an awesome story about beginning love, losing love and finding that love all over again.  I found it to be well written and thought provoking.  I will admit I had a tough time getting into it at first.  I had to put it down several times, because I became frustrated with the characters.Hope and Cam have best friends and soul mates since high school.  When college separates them, they promise to be together in the end.  But when Cam does not hear from Hope, he begins to move forward with his life, pushing through the hurt and loss of her love. He opens his heart up to Riley.  She is a breath of fresh air.  He begins to see a future with her.  But, Hope is never very far from his thoughts.  He will always love her.  When a chance meeting throws him and Hope back together, he vows to find a way to make their life together work.  But, Hope has also moved on.  So Cameron pulls out all the stops, jeopardizing his career and marriage to Riley, all to win Hope back.Told in both their present lives and past lives.  We find the story going back and forth between the two.  Giving the reader a glimpse into how their lives took various turns from the time they parted ways after high school.  I thought the character development was great.  Everyone has had that one love in their life, that they will never forget.  That one that got away.  Who we have such a deep emotional connection too.  Our soul mate.  Sick Day is an emotional roller coaster ride.  I fell in love with the characters and wanted more than anything for Cam and Hope to be together in the end.  Was their love strong enough to see them through all the baggage that they both carried?  Could they put aside all the hurt and frustration that they has caused one another over the years? Would they finally come together and live the life that they were meant to, together and be happy.  Or would more obstacles block their road to happiness?  I highly recommend Sick Day.  If you are looking for a great love story that spans a lifetime, than this book is for you.
