Go to [...] for full review6 Stars!!Wow, what a beautifully sad, inspiring read. I am completely blown away by this. It felt so real, I am having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that this was not based on a true story...it was just so REAL.This was my first time reading Crystal Spears' work. It can definitely now be my last either. Her writing is beautiful. I swear, it is not that often you find an author that can do it all. She can go from past to present and not confuse you one bit. She can make you feel what the characters are feeling, she doesn't beat around the bush over stupid nonsense, she was meant to be a writer and I am so happy I had the opportunity to read this story.Evelyn is a 20 year old cancer survivor. She has been through Hell and back fighting but is now able to live the life of a normal young cancer free woman. Through her battle with cancer she lost her memory from the age of 14 to 19. In those years, she fell in love with an amazing guy and his brother. She has no memory of them, nothing but in this story that all changes.Tristan, oh sweet sweet Tristan, how I love you. Of course Tristan is Ev's "Lost Love". She left. When she left, she shattered his heart but he didn't know,....oh poor baby, he didnt know.We are taken on a journey "down memory lane" and learn about their past. What they did, how they fell in love but at the same time, you are taken on the journey of the present. It was just so beautiful.Poor Ev, being so young and facing everything she has been through is heartbreaking. Tristan is just so perfect. He is there and amazing and caring and just the perfect person. Crystal did an amazing job at making these characters in real people. She makes you feel like you know them, that your there, going through this horrible time with them.I really recommend this to everyone. It was a really great story and would love to read another story about these characters. All of them are in this together and I don't want to let go of the characters.I was a bit nervous this was going to be a sob fest read for me but honestly, I of course had that feeling in my eyes like it could happen but it never did. There were so many bittersweet moments that I was happy but sad at the same moment. I did contact the author and asked if there was a HEA because I just didn't think I could handle it if there wasn't, and I will tell you...there is. You still wonder throughout the entire read what type of happy ending there will be but it was great.This is definitely a favorite read of mine!
