Everyday we're given the opportunity to love. Grab it. Grasp it. Fight for it. Don't let it go.This is Wrenn and Dalton's story. Wrenn lost everything--- her mom, dad and brother in a tragic car accident. More friends and even her boyfriend also moved away from her because they did not know how to deal with a friend and a girlfriend who's grieving.Dalton Reid, a fresh education graduate, lands his first gig in teaching at the prestigious Tennerson Girls Academy. Substituting a faculty, he found himself in a pool full of teenage girls with raging hormones who betted against each other on who can hit on him first. Dealing with his father's recent death from a disease, he cannot think of being in a relationship because he thinks fate won't allow him to.Meeting each other, they dealt with the spark and pull that was obviously erupting between them. Dalton doesn't want to lose his career but Wrenn has finally found her reason to live again.This is a very beautiful love story proofing that you cannot choose who to love. Whatever, whenever and wherever you find that "One" you will do anything to get it. Whatever the odds are, you love them anyway.I liked Wrenn's strength. As Dalton often sees her, she lost so much but her strength is enormous. I have never once saw her as a weak character. Yes, she lost a lot but she's willing to move forward. Dalton on the other hand was the scared one. He cannot ignore his growing and unavoidable feelings for Wrenn but he is overthinking what the future has in store for him.Deciding to pursue their forbidden love, Dalton found the his reason to fight. He finally got the courage to get tested to know the truth about what lies beyond, what does the future has in store for him and Wrenn.As a Psychology degree holder, I commend Missy Johnson in keeping the readers' eyes regarding Huntington's disease. A dangerous traitor that can and will make you suffer physically and your loved ones emotionally.Even though some parts of the story went fast, the message that the author showed to me as a reader is incomparable. It has been cliche for a while but it is true---"Live everyday as if it is your last." And this is what Dalton and Wrenn's story is about. Living for each other. Fighting for each other. Together.
