Sometimes a book comes along and it just touches your heart...this is that kind of book.  The student/teacher romance is not one of my favorites but this is just so much more than that!  It is about loss, pain, connection, I guess you could just say LIFE!  Each character has their challenges and you fall in love with them all.  The book was so well written and I loved the way Gabby was incorporated into it. Emotional ride is one way to describe it...you go through every emotional experience with tears and cheers.  You will keep this story with you long after you finish reading!“I don't know what I want to be when I grow up. But if there's anyone I want to be like when I do, it's that young man who wrote those words. I want to remember to breathe in the laughter and cherish the tears. I want to dive into hope and land in love. I want to be alive when I grow up because...I have never been alive in all of my life. And I think the least we can do, in order to honor Ryan, is to start living today. And forgive ourselves for all of the s***ty yesterdays.”Note:  This book reminded me of Colleen Hoover's Slammed Series (one of my ALL TIME FAVORITES) although it is different in a lot of ways it has the same feel to it...if you haven't read this series it is a must...especially if this book touched your heart.
