You know the feeling you have after you read a really great book.  You feel all kinds of emotions and are a serious emotional wreck.  Well that's how I feel after finishing Hard To Hold On by Shanora Williams.  I seriously didn't want this book to end.  I have grown to love Natalie and Nolan with all my heart.  They have made me happy, made me cry, and yes I have been angry at them as well.  In the end I am so happy I got to read their story.This book started of amazing and the end was just as amazing.  Nolan and Natalie are doing great in the very beginning of the story.  There are miles separating them but it works for them, well until Nolan's Mother passes away.  Not unexpectedly she was sick, but something that Nolan and his brother were not prepared for.  Natalie want to be there for Nolan and help heal his pain.  She loves him with everything she is, but sometimes love just might not be enough. Nolan ends up trying his hardest to push her away.  He is at his lowest and he is in pain.  Pain that he isn't prepared for.  He now has lost both of his parents and he isn't sure if he will ever be the man that Natalie needs.  So he succeeds in pushing her away.  Nolan has done a number on Natalie.  She trusts and loved him.  There just is no one other than Nolan for her.  He really needs to get his act together and thankfully his brother knocks some sense into him.  He then decides there is no way he is going to let Natalie walk out of his life.  Is it too late?  Has Nolan pushed her away for good?  Can Natalie take anymore heartache?  This girl deserves someone who will give it all to her.  Nolan can be that man!  I know he can!  He wants to, but his past comes creeping up behind him throwing both of them for a loop.  There is no other team for me but Team Nolan.  I rooted for him throughout this whole story.  Honestly I wasn't sure how it was gonna end.  I was actually terrified!Why did I love this story?  Well it had it all love, trust, heartache, heartbreak, mystery, longing.  Like I said it had it all.  I love Shanora and her writing.  She is so talented.  This book drew me in on the first page and ended with a bang.  I was so engrossed I couldn't and wouldn't put it down.  Can you say book hangover anyone, well I can.  I might need to start a support group.  Sadly this is the end of Natalie and Nolan's story.  I look forward to reading more from Shanora.  I'm positive you will love it to.What is my recommendation?  Drop what you are doing and pick this puppy up.  I also suggest that if you haven't read the first book Hard To Resist that you are gonna want to delve into that one before Hard To Hold On.  So go add to your tbr list or whatever you have to do to get this on your radar.  I was so glad I did.
