'Ellison wasn't just a girl I was with-she was an experience I would never forget.'This book was simply beautiful. What begins as a summer romance for Hunter and Ellison turns into a lifelong journey. This was a coming of age story about growing up, self discovery, and being a better person for the world around you.I was immediately pulled into story by the prologue. I was like, wow, this is going to be different. Honestly, the first few chapters afterwards were kinda slow and read like a typical new adult novel. However, the story grew into something MORE with DEPTH that I absolutely crave when I read.'She always had a different way of looking at things. It wasn't that Ellison could see the good or bad in people, it was that she saw the real in people.'I fell in love with Ellison's devotion to her family, her friends, her animals, and to the enviroment. I adored the lessons she taught Hunter that changed him from a self-centered, spoiled rich kid into a caring and compassionate man.The book was not without it's flaws. I wish the author would have developed Ellison's brother's character better. And there were some typos that I noticed. Even with those issues, the book still stands out with it's realness and honesty. And the epilogue... well, I'll just say you'll needs some tissues nearby. The entire book was beautiful, but that epilogue really goes above and beyond.
