Skylar and Jackson were best friends growing up. They have both lost a parent but in different ways. Skylar has been able to cope better with the loss of her father after a tragic accident but Jackson on the other hand has not been able to deal with the loss of his mother as easily. That loss though was a choice.Jackson and Skylar are now in High School and no longer as close as they once were but they still harbor deep feelings for each other. Jackson is on the football team and dating a cheerleader while Skylar is an outcast. Although I wouldn't say that Jackson is rude to Skylar the way his girlfriend Amber is, he sure doesn't try to be nice to her. Jackson is living his life day to day and not to its fullest. He has the fear that all of the people he truly loves will one day leave him. That's why he has always kept Skylar at a distance.Between the conversations and hints from his brother Jared and along with his growing feelings for Skylar eventually Jackson wakes up and takes his life into his own hands. He goes after the things that he wants and what makes him happy!I enjoyed reading about Skylar and Jackson plus really enjoyed Jackson's jealousy over Jared's relationship with Skylar. I thought Monica and Jake were wonderful friends to both Jackson and Skylar and would love a book about them. It was told from both Skylar and Jackson's POV and also it was an instant love book.... they had been best friends for YEARS and finally were able to get to the relationship stage.This story definitely has a cliffhanger ending that will leave you wandering what is going to happen next. I am left with questions that will just have to wait to be answered! Overall though, well done Annie Brewer! You took me back to my high school days and young love!
