Before You Go by Clare James had me hooked from the moment I opened the book. I started it before going to bed one night thinking I would read a chapter or two, next thing I know it is 4 am and I finished the book! I just couldn't put it down. I was captivated by the characters, the story, and not to forget Noah, he is totally swoon-worthy! Book boyfriend material for sure!In Before You Go you will meet college student Tabitha Kelly. Tabby has it all, looks, money, popularity but after a night of partying and being drugged a sex scandal soon follows. She becomes the laughing stock on campus, no one believing her side of the story and she ends up losing her boyfriend (what a jerk), her friends, and her dancing career, even her mother who is more worried about her public image then her daughter's well being. After months of trying to overcome the assault, even getting help in an inpatient facility Tabby decides to start over in a different state. Tabby only wants to focus on school but her plans change when she meets Noah one night in a bar thinking he would only be a one night stand turns out he will become a lot more.The first chapter will wrap you in and not let you out! I loved the opening scene of Tabby trying to overcome her past thinking a one night stand would help feel powerful. You will get a great insight on who she is while Tabby is sitting at the bar looking for the lucky guy who will become her one nighter. When she meets Noah they connect right away, their interactions are so funny and cute! Tabby is a great character; I appreciated being able to see her growth over the course of the book. I LOVED Noah; he is just a good guy. I love good guys. He wasn't tatted up, or an underground street fighter, he was simply amazing, understanding, handsome, and perfect. Though he had a secret of his own he was over coming it and became a better person for it.Ms. James is a very talented writer. I felt the book had it all, humor, romance, some sexy scenes, and a very emotional. It's hard to come by a book that has it all with a great storyline as well. The only thing I wish was the ending was a little more wrapped up when it came to Noah and his past. I felt like the Jenna (a character from his past) and Noah could have had some more closure. The way Jenna treated Tabby at the end of the book I was expecting a resolution to come, but there was not one. I still feel like Noah is in a big conflict between Tabby and Jenna and I would like to know what will happen between them next.Before You Go is an amazing read I highly suggest to all my book lover friends out there. It has a wonderful story, deep emotions, great characters, and Noah of course! Can't forget about him!I give Before You Go 4 stars.
