Have you ever read a book where it made so many memories and emotions come flooding back and you just have to put your Kindle down? This is probably the first book that has caused that for me. Ive dealt with some of the situations in this book so it hit kind of hard. The way that Allie wrote this amazing story brought out so many emotions! OMG!!!! Talk about a book hangover! Now, I have connected with stories and they have made me ugly cry. Like break down and sob like a baby, and these turn out to be my favorite books. But wow!!!! Allie’s ability  to bring the characters to life and connect was simply beautiful! This woman had me dreaming and feeling the emotions of the story. I woke up, right back in the past, living those emotions again. Needless to say, coffee and grabbing my Kindle became the first thing I did that morning. I just had to have more Jake. Ive never had a book hangover before I even finish the book! Good job, Allie! The story completely grabbed me.This story sheds light on some really important real life happenings. PTSD is no joke. Its real. I absolutely loved how the details really show the seriousness of it. Doesn’t sugar coat at all. Some of you know what I mean. We are heartbroken while our friends/family are at war, we are so ecstatic when they come home, and for some...we are heartbroken again when we see that that certain spark is gone from our loved ones eyes. We can see that they are someone different now. You would do anything to bring that person back. I really loved how this story showed that and that love really can help a person out of that darkness.I loved all of the characters. I’ve pretty much been in Livie’s shoes so I really connected with her. I loved how strong that chick was. She knows what she wants and she does not give up. My heart went out to Jake. I so badly wanted to hug him and promise him that everything would be okay and that there are people who understand him and what he’s going through. He’s a strong man and so darn sweet!!! When he asks Livie to pretend that he never left…oh my! Total swoon moment. You could totally feel his pain and plea.  You just have to read the book to understand the weight of that statement. Trust me; this is a book that is one-click material. Then one-click for a friend. Amazing read and I can’t wait to read the rest of the series. You are amazing Allie! Don’t ever stop using your out of this world talent!
