From the start of this book, I was pulled in with my heart-strings at the devastation to Gabriel's emotions.  So when the book took off and I saw him at his lowest point, I wanted to wrap my arms around him and help him any way I could.  I was rooting for him the whole way desperately wanting his life to be a good one.  As for Leah, her unrequited love is tough because she actually liked the wife.Her life story was one that I found myself pulling for her as well.  I liked both the main characters.  The supporting cast was good and I hope there will be subsequent books for the other three friends.All the struggles with the main characters were resolved at the end of the book, which is an automatic plus for the reader because I have closure on the couple.  Gabriel's struggles throughout are consistent with his character and it's really heartwarming to watch (read) him overcome and persevere.Really great story, strong plot, excellent writing with a good balance between show and tell.  I loved the story and will be reading Naima's other books as a result.  Also, I love the picture on the front cover.This book was free from the publisher but in no way has that influenced my rating.
