This author does not disappoint. This is my third read by her and I have enjoyed each and every one, and would highly recommend all three. This one is a continuation from one of my favorites from a year ago, Leaving Green Island where I fell in love the Brecken and Reed; however this time the focus in on Lizzy, Brecken's best friend. It was actually Brecken's friendship with Lizzy that initially connected her to Reed and Green Island, so her presence in Breckens' life is extremely important. Even with the focus on Lizzy, we still get some great glimpses into the lives of Brecken, Reed and Nevada.One of the many gifts of this author, is her ability to make the characters real, dimensional and engaging. Her attention to detail and pop culture draws you into the story and makes you actually feel like you are right there in the midst of all the drama. It is hard to talk about the plot without giving away the magic of the story, but it will keep you turning the page with your heart scattered all over the place wanting the right and only resolution. There are twist and turns that let you know the plot was well thought out and wonderfully executed. We had some ups and downs, but in the end, it was perfection. Love was lost and found, friendships are forged and tested, dreams and desires are questioned and explored, and the unattainable is achieved. Even though this could be a stand alone, to enjoy the fullness of the story, you need to read Leaving Green Island first to have the full richness of this experience. Highly, highly recommend.
