This is a powerful story.  Sadie is an incredible character.  Strong, outspoken and ready to start living.  With her family’s move to Texas this is her time to start new.  To let go of the anger and frustration and heartbreak that was everywhere she looked in Chicago.  Throughout the story she steps outside (way outside) her comfort zone often to be surprised by the results.  Opening up her mind, and definitely her heart for where life is going to take her.When we meet Landon he’s an a$$, a hot one but still standoffish and rude. He’s got his reasons. He’s also fiercely loyal and funny.So many amazing scenes- the job application with Sadie and Landon, Sadie’s first day working on the farm, Sadie getting caught kissing Landon by his dad…the list goes on and on.  The whole blonde girl craziness was hilarious.Sadie and Landon fit.  They both put their all into their new relationship and it is great to read.  But I kept waiting. For the old bf to show up.  For someone to cheat or get a wandering eye. Knowing this was a standalone I was happy to see that around 70% all was well.They both have matured, found each other and are happy.  Really happy. Living in and for the moment!Then the end. I couldn’t breathe from the tears.  I’m tearing up writing this review two days later.  Bold move that keeps true to the story JM LaRocca has given us. But damn, completely unexpected.Sadie and Landon’s love story is worth the read-funny, tender and oh what an ending!
