This writer does write well, conveying her guys feelings very well. The pain, the regrets, the insecurities, the doubt to hope, feelings expressed convincingly, as we follow Sam and Rey in their short but impactful journey of falling in love and most importantly staying together. I like that the writer splits her story into two, the first part told from Sam's view and the second part from Rey's view. We get to understand and know both guys well and care for them. Their pasts are revealed progressively through the story, pasts which drive the story as much as the present happenings. The last part did take me by surprise but then the writer did set it somewhat up in the beginning. Maybe the angsts could have been toned down in the back half. Is Sam's teenage ordeal and the impact on them later really necessary ?  Also is there a need to focus that much on one teenage girl? However I like the way the writer handles Rey 's present predicament. Most is not resolved in his life. There is no miracle but there is hope. The epilogue could have been more. I get the feelings that the writer did want to say more but limited by the publisher ? Definitely watching out more from this writer.
