Astonishing book!  When you read it, look deep…it contains some wonderful truisms about Brotherhood, Friendship and Trust.  Scott tells of some wonderful experiences; made up or true -- he paints with his words so that you come to imagine and love the characters. He instills himself into each one so they feel real.Eric holds brotherhood in high esteem -- I can relate because of  a kinship to friends who have truly become sisters.  He would do anything to protect his friends -- as would I. Real friends don’t judge, they will just be there when you need them…in any way  you need them.But with trust… you have to be careful -- Trust can break your heart.This book has more substance than Baby Girl. There are still a few character flaws, but I am sure they will be addressed in the next book.Eric has become a sensitive soul…He knows that love requires commitment. It demands unconditional acceptance,  patience, the ability to be vulnerable and to take risks: and last but not least, the decision to stay put even when the desire to run is great. I admire his wanting to take a risk. He understands that real freedom to be who we are can only be found among a circle of friends -- who have committed themselves to us -- just as we’ve committed ourselves to them. The quality of people we surround ourselves with is instrumental in the advancement of our lives.Kelli has matured…She is becoming assertive, which I admire.Although all the characters are marvelous I especially fell in love with is Teddy.  Bless him!! He knows when to talk and he knows when to listen.  And he knows how to drive home a point. How much more could one ask for?  A guy who actually listens………..My favorite quote:  “Life is about opportunities and options…. I’m going to give you both.”Well done, Scott.  Looking forward to BG III.
