The story of Gemma Andrews was nothing if not sweet, sincere and entirely relate able. It is a story of a girl who has been brought up with certain ideas and feelings toward not only men but life in general and taking her first summer/year of college to really decided what is true and not true for her. It is a story of letting go the thoughts and feelings placed there from her parents and deciding for herself who what where when and why. I loved this story-- it reminded me so much of being young and truly feeling love for the first time and allowing that to help me to shape what I thought of society and figure life out for myself--- "Who am I?" "What is life truly about?" the big questions all start at what in hind sight is a very young age. Harper James was able to relate to those changing times and tell a touching story that is not only about growth, but about love and forgiveness as well. While this was a little on the "tame" side for me I would say that this is a story that would be good for anyone still in high school to completely swoon over! Well Done Harper, I am getting this one for my daughters to read when they are old enough x
