This story is full of loss, tragedy, heartbreak, love, family, and perseverance.  It follows Alex and shows how she deals with the bad in her life but also the good. There is also a really great romance between her and Drew. Great characters, a sweet romance, and a good plot made this a great book.There were great, well developed characters in this book. Alex is slammed with a lot of tragedy in a short amount of time when she is just 15 years old. I really admired her and her perseverance to push forward and be strong. She meets (and immediately `clicks' with) Drew (17) right when she needs someone the most. He helps her to start healing and is so sweet. However, circumstances arise and he vanishes. When they see each other again, 15 years have passed and Alex is dealing with another tragedy. Again he sweeps her off her feet and is so freaking romantic I was swooning like crazy.The plot was well written. About the first half or so is a flashback and I really like how it was set up. Everything was described really well and it transitioned smoothly from present to past and back again. Even though a good part of this book is devoted to Alex and how she handles everything, the romance remains front and center. I truly enjoyed this book and give it a 4 out of 5 stars.
