"Too much has passed between us to just let her slip through my fingers. I need her, I want her, and she's woven herself so intricately into my heart that without her I'm finding it hard to breathe."This has got to be the easiest review I ever wrote. Why, you ask? Because not only I LOVED the book but I can relate to it. While writing the review might be easy, reading the book was not; at least not some parts. It hit too close to home, making me relieve some very painful memories that were long forgotten.This story is real and raw and talks about things that most of us don't feel comfortable talking about. Things that I've experienced and many young girls out there are experiencing right this moment. Mackenzie Deeks is struggling to get over her parents' divorce the best way she can and in the process she develops an eating disorder. Moving to a new town and starting at a new school, does not help either. She hides from the world the best she can.Tyler Redding feels a pull towards Mackenzie and, from experience, he knows that she needs help. When he starts showing his interest, Mackenzie is having a hard time believing that someone like him would even know her name. Tyler is every young girl's dream: handsome, hardworking, romantic, caring, and patient. Together they embark on a journey of ups and downs but love has a way to conquer all.I finished the story in less than a day and I've cried some ugly tears. BUT this has to be one of THE BEST books I've read this year, and I've read some really good ones. It is original, very well written, perfect pace, and very realistic. I hope every woman (young and not so young) has the chance to read this story."There's something very peaceful about being in love. It can make you light as a feather; so blissfully unaware of anything else of importance. It can make you feel anger, rage, jealousy, and lust all in one sentence."
