This is my first book out of the Holland Springs series and I ABSOLUTELY love it. I am so glad that this is my first read opening the year.I feel deeply connected to Summer while reading the story-- her not so beautiful journey of finding the value of herself against of what people thought of her and her family in Holland Springs. My heart clenched every time she pulled her wall up with Gabriel and pretended that she is what people think she is.I adored Gabriel's character. His love and determination to show Summer of how worthy she is of love is admirable. When he said he's never letting go of Summer again, he didn't.One element I also loved the most about the story are the minor characters. Jemma Leigh, Isabella and Gabriel's parents played  major parts in building Summer and Gabriel's story. Their good judgment of the situations, their forgiveness and upright individualities will make them one of my favorite supporting characters yet.Marquita Valentine pictured a great representation of love in all aspects--- family, friendship and special relationships. This story might be my first of the series but it won't be the last. I am definitely itching to buy all Holland Springs series after Not Over You.
