Although we read of Maggie & Clay's happy ever after in Light in the Shadows, this novella takes place when Maggie is going off to College and Clay has moved into a house for transitioning patients out of mental health treatment. They both know it's going to be hard not seeing each other but Clay wants this for Maggie and Maggie wants Clay to get better so they communicate mostly through Skype.Some jealousies and insecurities ensure and there is a little more angst for the couple who have been through so much but it is very realistic as mental health problems do not just go away, Clay still has to have counselling etc. Maggie is enjoying college life but when she tells Clay she can't come visit him on her first break from college nor at thanksgiving, things get a little tense between them.After not seeing each other in person for seven months, Maggie then decides to surprise Clay with a Christmas visit. When Clay gave Maggie her christmas present it actually brought a tear to my eye.If I had one criticism it would be that I wished their reunion wasn't so short. It's near the end of the book and it felt a little rushed. However, I still love their story and loved this novella.
