First let me wipe the tears away. The sadness and pain that Sawyer feels in the prologue is palpable. The fear breaks my heart.The journey that Sawyer embarks on to find out about her family and about love is good--like Jack Kerouac good. When she opens up her heart and mind to the love that is all around her, her strength and sense of self grows. Which is saying a lot considering how amazing Sawyer is in Him and Her. She tells it like it is all the while keeping a distance from any commitments.Then there is Jared. Jared gets Sawyer completely-heart and soul. Carey has given him a wonderful voice. I love the 1/2 chapters, I love knowing Jared's mind. How much he misses her, how well he knows her and loves her..how he will be happy being Uncle Jared if that is what she wants! When Luke and Jared are at the studio-how Jared goes there to check in cause he knows that will make Sawyer happy. (Maybe I love Sawyer too much?? naaaaaaah!)Beautiful when Marie tells Sawyer-- "you love him. The rest is thinking too much."The letters Carmen gives her. When she calls Sarah I started crying again-"she cries for me" and Sawyer allowing herself to believe she is loved...And when she tells Jared she loves him-that scene is crystal clear to me in my head.Especially love how Jared is still his own person even while he gives his heart to Sawyer, and would never ask her to change-just to trust him and let him in.Love the ease and passion between Sawyer and Jared. They fit. Even after knowing each other so long they are still learning about each other. Their transition from friends to lovers- while rocky in the beginning- grew with ease.I loved this book, it blended the right amount of romance, grief, hope, friendship and hot as hell love. Super kudos to Carey Heywood.
