Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't you just love reading books that are perfect in every way?! I would not change a single thing about this book! It was simply amazing! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!Okay, my squeal-fest is over for now, sort of...I just can't really help it! This book is my favorite of Delaney's so far!!! I absolutely loved every minute of this book and I am sad that it is already over. I kinda just want to flip back to the beginning and start all over again but I can't do that because there are way too many other books that are waiting for me to read first. So sad. I'm really tempted. Anyway, this book was absolutely amazing!!! Just the perfect amount of happy and sad emotions.Jordyn loves to play soccer and has an amazing brother, Jesse, who plays soccer too. They just have the sweetest relationship and you can't help but smile at them. Then there's their parents who are just totally rude and horrible to them. Harsh words from parents to their children are difficult to live with, but Jordyn and Jesse have a great relationship with one another that makes up for all the difficulties they have gone through with their parents. I instantly fell in love with Jesse. He reminds me so much of my brothers. To others my brothers might look tough or arrogant or incapable of being serious or sensitive, but people don't get to see what I see because they don't know my brothers like I do. Not everyone gets to see all the wonderful things I get to see in my brothers and it was the same way with Jesse and Jordyn. Jesse had a side of himself that he often kept hidden and only people closest to him, like Jordyn, got to see it. Seeing Jesse through Jordyn's eyes was so heart-warming and it was completely reflective of my own feelings toward my brothers so it was easy for me to fall in love with Jordyn and Jesse as well as the whole story.Drew is a hockey player and a friend of Jesse's that Jordyn falls in love with. It's actually a really cute relationship, especially with how protective Jesse is when it comes to guys dating his sister. But of course, I love how Drew's family becomes the family that Jordyn never had when she was growing up. Jordyn always had Jesse, but she never had loving parents, so Drew's parents, Dana and Mark, kind of got to fill in that hole. Meeting Drew and meeting his family becomes more significant than Jordyn could ever imagine and I am so glad she got a family that cared about her and loved her.Okay, so I just have to say again that this book was AMAZING!!! I love love love it and I will definitely read it many more times because it is such a wonderful story. If you are like me and family is important to you, then I think you might enjoy this book and all the relationships between the characters. Family is more than just genetics. It's the relationships between people that make a family and it is one of God's greatest gifts on this earth (at least that is my opinion anyway).Love! Love! Love! Love! Love this book!!!!!!!
