Oh wow...I just read most of this straight through and I don't even know what to say.  I need to take a minute to collect my thoughts.  It was so beautiful and so well done.  And in such an original way too.  Of course I guessed a few things before they happened, but Part 1 was so different than Part 2 of the book, and I did not expect it to go in that direction at all.  I love how it went beyond the original premise to the recovery and all.  Part 2 of the book is where it became most original.  I also loved the half and half viewpoints, I loved the two leads (and I loved the layout of the book, how you learn each character truly in turn, and then can think back and know more of their emotions from earlier scenes).  And the story became harsh, it had me tearing up there for a while...but this book really had everything.  From the sex and action and denial, to the romance and passion, pain and change, love and hope, growth and future.  It was a brilliant work like all I've read by Josh Lanyon.  Now I'll check out Laura Baumbach too.  But I know this story will stay with me.  I loved it completely. Eventually I'll reread it knowing all that I do now and I think that will only make it better.P.S. See?  This review is still all scattered because this book just kind of out my brain on another level.  So wonderful.
