I truly enjoyed Holding On.  It literally has been on my Kindle for almost a year and I'm so glad I finally got around to reading it!It is the story of Quinn Johnson, who was best friends with Luke McGrath since they were young, and Jake McGrath, Luke's older brother.  Quinn always had a crush on her best friend but when neither of them ever makes the first move, older brother Jake moves right in and steals Quinn's heart.  And Quinn and Jake are happy.But what Quinn doesn't realize is just how much Luke has loved her all these years.  And Quinn is blissfully happy with Jake.  She gets pregnant, they marry and despite the loss of Luke's friendship, things seem to be going well.However, when a tragic event occurs, Luke becomes more important to Quinn than ever before.  Can they ever just be more than in-laws without hurting the ones that they love?This book is a beautifully written story of friendship, family and unrequited love.  The secondary characters of Carly, Quinn's sister, their parents and friends of our couple lend a real element to Quinn and Jake's journey.Although it is very light on steaminess, I simply enjoyed that it was a wonderful story that had me both smiling and tearing up a bit. This is the first in the series and it does end on a bit of a cliffhanger.I would recommend this book highly.
