When life hands you lemons… you make lemonade or something crazy like that. This book… just WOW! I know I say this all the time, but I truly believe that just like people, books come into your life for a reason. I love when a book teaches you a lesson, speaks to your heart and makes you think. Jane's words teach you to never take life for granted. Stop and appreciate those around you. Go big, follow your dreams, play in the rain and live life with no regrets.Ava Lawton is having a run of bad luck. After finishing college, she moves to San Diego to start a new life. She lands a job as a CPA and with her Dad's help, gets a fantastic apartment. Well things go downhill from there and she's fired from her job and has no idea how she'll stay afloat. Here she is stuck in traffic on a rainy day in California (something that doesn't normally happen in the state that is known for it's sunshine), when she sees him. The man with the beautiful blue eyes and black hair smiling so brightly as he plays in the rain. He leaves her breathless. He slips her a note, it's only purpose to make her smile, and does she smile! They meet again and you know those moments in life, the ones that make you realize that nothing will ever be the same? Yeah, that was one of those moments.Cody Richards is beautiful inside and out. With his kind heart and zeal for life, he makes a wish lists of all the things he'd love to do before summer is over. He and Ava have the adventure of their lives, checking one item after the other off the list, trying something new and learning along the way. I fell in love with Cody--not just his good looks, but his sweet words and amazing love of life.I don't want to give anything else away. Take the adventure with Cody and Ava. I promise you, you'll have a renewed sense of hope and will want to grab life by the horns and play in the rain."…don't let life be something that happens while you're looking in the other direction."Incredible. Beautiful. Perfect. LOVED IT!!!
