A few books come along that grab me and make me gush and cry.  The cry isn't always about sadness but largely about the emotion I am feeling, sometimes sad, sometimes happy, sometimes world rocked.  This book brought tears to my eyes, brought emotion to the forefront and left my world rocked.  I smiled, laughed, felt sad and happy.  This book gave it all to me and then some.  This book hooked it's claws into my heart.When I started reading this book I couldn't help the way I was instantly wrapped up in the dialogue of Beck and Abby.  It was smart and witty and grabbed my attention.  Who was this guy that just walked up to a stranger, in that setting, and started talking and making light conversation and jokes?!  It was utterly perfect.  Then... then, it got BETTER!  So within the first chapter I became invested in the idea of these two characters and I was head over heels for Beck.  However, Abby grabbed me and her inner dialogue, who she is, what she went through... it was just so engrossing.  I could not put the book down.  I had to keep reading, I had to know where this wild ride was going.I love strong male leads that are intelligent, a bit cocky and maybe a bit arrogant.  Beck was all those for me and more.  He had passion, patience and a heart that will melt your own.  He is the end all be all perfect man.  This isn't to say he is all perfect, he has his flaws, he has his moments.  Then there is Abby.  So isolated from the world for so long, living a life waiting to die but fighting to live that when given the chance she takes it and goes head long into the world.  I admired Abby, her intelligence, her smarts, her being.  Did I want to strangle her at a point, sure, but we all do things that others think we shouldn't.The whole story, the road trip, the developing relationship between these two.  It all felt like utter perfection.  My emotions were on board for the trip and I got to feel a full range of them.  This story has it's highs and lows and damn, will you feel your heart break so so so much for the characters.  This wasn't a overtly heavy read, not a dark read at all either.  This was a heartwarming, heart wrenching, hope filling, love story.  This was utter perfection.This is book that will stay with me, that I will tell others they MUST read.  This is a story that will leave you feeling complete.
