This story is heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time. When Ember is forced into a reality that few young adults should ever have to encounter when her father is killed in combat, she does everything she can to help her family and make it through. Enter the old crush who is living back in town and coaching her little brother's hockey team. He's there for her, supportive to both Ember, her little brother Gus, and the rest of the family. The chemistry is there, but Ember has a life plan that includes a boyfriend and a life that she thinks she wants.The description of the soldiers coming to the house and delivering the news about Ember's father's death is heartbreaking and very well written. I think that set the mood for the entire book to be wonderful. If an author can write so eloquently about such a sorrowful subject, the rest of the book is sure to be a great hit. And it was.
