I don't really know what to say. Most of us remember what we were doing or where we were on 9/11. It's odd but you don't even have to say the year to know exactly what the date represents. That's where the prologue opens this heart wrenching book but the characters and the story don't center around that day. It's almost like foreshadowing of what's to take place in the lives of Katy, Brooks, and Branch.I can't really sum it up except to say that for a portion of the book I was in tears. You have to really immerse yourself in the book, feel the experiences that Katy is living, try to put yourself in her shoes to really understand what she's going through. As the book was drawing to a close I knew that's what I had done because I was beginning to feel the same despair that Katy was falling into because of the poor choices she had made in her life. It took the love and unexpected confession of the woman who raised her after her parents' death to make Katy realize you cannot live in the past and you cannot change the past.Grammar issues began to show up and seemed to become more rampant toward the end of the book but I still had to give the book 5 stars because I was so wrapped up in the story it was hard for me to but the book down. I almost want a sequel but I think their story ended where it should.
