Skipping Stones was an amazing book. It was so different from other books that I have read, and it took me on an incredible journey. J.B. McGee has written a story that will touch your heart on so many levels, and leave you with a warm and complete feeling. It will also totally rip your heart out and make you want to cry buckets of tears before your heart is put made complete again.Alex Hart had just had her world completely turned upside down. An unimaginable tragedy has rocked her world. She meets Drew Foster at a moment that couldn't have been more perfect. He is there for her to work through her grief. At the tender age of fifteen, she feels like she has met her soulmate, then as unexpectedly as he came into her life, he leaves it.I can't even begin to tell you how much I loved all of the characters in Skipping Stones. Alex, Drew, Papa, and Memaw. I just loved them. Papa and Memaw truly felt like they were part of my own family. Alex and Drew are an amazing couple. The innocent love that is felt between them feels so real. My heart broke multiple times for Alex while reading this, and I probably went through at least two boxes of tissue.Loss, first love, coming of age, reuniting with loved ones, and overcoming unbelievable obstacles. Skipping Stones has it all. It was unlike any book I have read, but it is a book that I will be re-reading again and again. It pulls on your heart strings on so many levels. J.B. McGee did a phenomenal job! I loved it!
