Part way through I thought I had all the answers and this was going to be another one of “finding one true love” after being hurt.Nope, I thought I had it right and I braced myself for being torn apart by grief and yes, there were times I felt like I was going to lose some salty tears.

Emogen and Ryan must discover what the most important things in life are instead of the priorities they have already set in place.This is a book full of ups and downs – happiness and tears – truths and lies – it is a journey through love, break up, new friends, new careers, heartbreak, questions, fights, and finally a future.Re-CapRyan and Emogen are getting married in a year but there is a bit of a problem.
