This book took angst to a whole new level. At first, i was unprepared by that, and unsure of how to feel with so much heartache going on from both the heroine and hero. I thought at first the book had such an unnecessary amount of death. But to my surprise it worked really well. I usually roll my eyes at a crybaby type heroine that mopes over every single thing, but Ashlyn had every right to! Her tears were called for. Because she was hurting. And she was so real to me. Her and Daniel had incredible chemistry, and you WANTED them to find happiness. I was so torn about how it would all come crashing down. I wanted them to be happy together, but I didn't see how possible it would be. Each had their own lives, their own dreams. It was difficult to read without being so emotionally invested.This book was written beautifully. The flow was perfection. Every character had their own identity. Ryan, Hailey, Henry, Jace, Randy, and surprisingly GABBY (the girl who was bursting with life in not only Ashlyn's memories but on paper!)The heroine was intelligent. The hero was soulful and real. Their quirkiness and nerdy love for "Shakes" had me laughing hard throughout.Thank you Brittainy Cherry, for writing a refreshingly beautiful tale I'll remember in the years to come. You have a wonderful gift, and I'm sure tons more ideas in that precious head of yours to share with us all!
