Skipping Stones is simply a beautiful book.  It is the latest in a long line of exquisite reads by JB McGee.  I swear the woman's writing only gets better with time.This tells the story of Lexi Hart, a 15 year old girl,  whose whole world revolves around her very loving family.  She really loves her mom, dad and grandparents to the point where she would rather spend time with them than her friends. She knows she is an old soul and wouldn't change being that way for anything!However, tragedy strikes her seemingly perfect world and Lexi is left in a tailspin of emotions, feeling like the bricks piling up on her chest will crush her.Until she fatefully meets Drew Foster by her beloved creek and her world will never be the same again.This love story of Lexi and Drew/Stone could have been trite with the typical HEA, lots of steamy sex, heartbreak and suffering...yada yada yada.  However, JB McGee gives us the heartwarming journey of two souls who know that they are meant for each other.  We are taken on a journey of disappointment, indecision, heartbreak, separation and then are warmly rewarded with true love, devotion to family, sweet fate and a story so profound you can't help but smile broadly at it's conclusion.This is the purest of love stories yet I never ever felt shortchanged or empty. Skipping Stones will fill your heart with such warmth and joy, it will want to burst.I cannot recommend this book enough.  If you haven't as yet discovered all the greatness that is JB McGee, this is the perfect place to start.  You will not be disappointed!!
