The title Unbreakable truly fits this story. The love that Jake and Trisha had was truly put to the test in this book. (In more ways then one).Being Gigi's debut novel , I thought she did extremely well. This story is beautifully written and well executed. She was able to create a story and characters that you could relate to and couldn't help falling in love with all of them. This book is truly a test of ones emotions....quite the roller coaster. One minute Gigi had me loving Jake and Trish and the next I was pissed at both of them and wanted to smack them both and tell them to wake up.  I also laughed, smiled, swooned, and cried.  This story truly had my feelings going all over the place.  I really felt like I was a part of this group of friends.  The bond of friendship that Gigi created with these characters is like no other….everyone wishes they had friends like these.  This was so much more than just a story about an  unbreakable love, but also a journey that 2 people went through to overcome some of the hardest things in life.  We totally watched these characters grow into such strong people through this book.  This story was told in dual POV and I thought that was the only way this story could be told.  You really needed to hear both sides of this story.  I also thought the writing style and flow of the book was amazing….flawless!!!  Gigi did an excellent job giving us enough information to make the story feel real, but not too much making the story drag on.Like I said, the cast of characters in this book really make this story.  I love when an author can give us characters who you wish you knew in real life.  It's makes the connection to the book so much more.  This book is mainly about Trish and Jake, but their BFF's/Family members also help bring this story alive.  Jake and Trish have been friends for awhile.  They met through Trish's then boyfriend Dylan, who was also Jake's BFF.  Jake and Trish had an instant connection but because of Dylan they didn't act on it.  Then something tragic happens to Dylan and Trish is left to pick up the pieces.  Trish leans on Jake for help to get over the tragedy.  Through this their connection grows stronger and they both realize they need each other and love each other.  The hopeless romantic in me loved their connection and love story.  Talk about sweet…Roxy (Trish's BFF and Jake's Cousin) would call them Tooth Decay. ( it totally fit ) but I LOVED it!!!!"My love for you is endless, time nor space cannot change it, days won't be measured by it, a lifetime is short compared to it.  I can't measure it, even if I wanted to.  It's immeasurable and unchangeable, it goes on forever; it will remain whole….unbreakable."….JakeI don't want to say too much about the storyline because I think everyone needs to experience this book on there own.  I will forewarn you though, this book does deal with a tough subject matter.  You will definitely need tissues when you read this book.  But don't worry the other characters in this story help with the comic relief to help lighten the mood of the book.  You will definitely have a smile on your face when you finish this book.  I LOVED the last 3 chapters of this book.  The epilogue was great too because it totally set up for the next book which will be about another couple ;)  I could go on and on about this book, but I don't want to bore you with my rambling.  JUST READ IT!!!!I would 100% recommend this book to EVERYONE!!!!  If you are looking for a sweet but emotional love story, then this is the book for you.  Read this book, you won't be sorry!!!!!"We're each other's gift.  A gift we'll always cherish.  A love we'll always protect.  A bond that will never be severed by anything or anyone….a bond that's unbreakable."….Trish
