Sawyer.With that one word, that one name, I could be done with this review, simply because, he, Sawyer, makes this read so worth it and one you do not want to miss out on. Whether you love this genre or not. Whether you love romances or not, Sawyer is a man you need to meet. You must meet.I read a lot of contemporaries, it is one of my favorite genres and because of that I have come across a lot of swoon worthy, lust inducing, leading men but none of them compare to the sweet hotness that is Sawyer. I think he stole my heart after the very first encounter with him. Glimpses of the sweet caring boy to the man that he becomes, makes him one hard man to resist.I have always been (and will always be) a sucker for relationships that start off as friends. There is just something so pure and real about them. Your soul mate, the love of your life, should be your best friend, your confidant and the one person that you can't live without, the one person that grounds you but still catches you if you fall. That one person that makes your life whole for many reasons.  When that bond happens naturally and over time, it just makes the relationship and that love so much more and that is exactly how it all begins for Dylan (Silver) and Sawyer.To say that Green outdid her self would be saying too little. This book was so hard to put down. It flowed so nicely and naturally and Sawyer and Silver's relationship never felt forced or awkward, even years later with time and distance between them. I loved watching them both grow and become who they were really meant to be. The flashbacks of their start and their story were done perfectly and I loved seeing those glimpses of little Silver and Sawyer and the memories that they shared. It made them who they later became. The bond that they shared was true and it was easy to see from the start that they were destined to be together, even if they were star crossed lovers and never meant to be more than friends. His family, her family, their society and means were not going to stand in the way of their friendship.This might be Green's first jump in the NA genre but if this book is any indication, it will not be her last. She is one author I will continue to buy books from because they flow nicely, are well written and completely heart warming (not to mention hot!!).
