I flipped between giving this book 4 or 5 stars but since I couldn't put the book down, 5 stars it is! This is a serious book full of real life problems for two troubled young adults. Nova lost her dad at a young age and then the love of her life committed suicide. She is a college freshman returning home for the summer & although it seems like she is focusing on her future, Nova is definitely stuck in the past. Her best friend Delilah has a druggie boyfriend & it introduces Nova to the wonders of drugs, to become numb & forget about Landon & her OCD tendencies for a while. She quickly begins a downward spiral when she meets Quinton, a man not focusing on his future at all, convinced he is worthless & no one loves him. Nova sees a lot of qualities of Landon in Quinton & I was hoping all along she could save Quinton from his own destructive spiral. Nova & Quinton have so much chemistry together & can't keep their hands off each other & I keep believing that they were meant to be in each other's lives, to love each other. But first Nova has to come to terms with Landon's death & find peace within herself before she can help anyone else, and it is actually Quinton who forces her to deal with the suicide & get rid of the drugs to numb the pain. In the end we find Nova finishing her sophomore year of college & using the videos she taped that summer while attempting to deal with the loss of Landon for her film class. She will need to find Quinton though in order to get his permission to use the videos & in the process of trying to find Quinton she finds out about his past. Now that Nova is on the path to a better life I don't think anything can stop her from finding Quinton & showing him how special he is to her. Cannot wait for book #2! There is a major cliffhanger here but a really positive one!
