How do I begin to write a review for a book that was so wonderful?  I cannot find any words that will do it justice.  Do you know what kind of book I'm talking about?  It's the kind that causes the lump to appear in the back of your throat making it difficult to swallow, the kind of book that makes you get up and pace because you're nervous only to sit back down 10 seconds later because you're dying to know what happens.  JS Cooper delivers a book filed with drama, love, angst, and all the other emotions that I'm still reeling from.In the beginning we are introduced to Hudson and Riley where we learn about the things Hudson did to Riley when they were children.  It's your typical older boy picking on younger girl behavior.  As the story unfolds we learn that Riley is best friends with Eden who happens to be Hudson's younger sister.  Instantly I thought that this was going to be a book where the girl falls in love with the best friend's older brother and best friend gets mad type of book.  Needless to say it didn't go that exact way.  We follow Hudson and Riley through the years. Hudson enrolls in college and Riley is still in High school.  While Riley has a crush on Hudson he has a girlfriend in college.  Since Riley and Eden are friends, Riley still has contact with Hudson and she finds herself on vacation with Hudson.  On the last day of summer vacation as something beautiful is happening a tragedy occurs.  Who is responsible?  Now Hudson and Riley are left to deal with the aftermath.  Riley enrolls in college and decides to write an article for the college newspaper while Hudson is trying to help his girlfriend's mom and the neighbors.  As far would have it, they run into each other again.  Each of them are still holding on to secrets from the past.  Can these two escape the past and be together or will another tragedy end it all?  This book is definitely worth all 5 stars and worth the journey. HAPPY READING!!! Thank you JS Cooper for another amazing book!!!
