This book stole my heart and I may never get it back. This is the kind of book that can give you a book hangover for days. I fell in love with the story and I never wanted it to end. I felt such a sense of loss when I finished the last page, but I was also so content in the way the story went. I never wanted it to end but at the same time I wanted the conclusion.Kate is our main character and I really liked her and felt for her so much. When we meet her she feels lost and alone, but at the same time she thinks she is content. Kate has basically lost her spark and she thinks that being alone is best; that you only have yourself. It was a bit heartbreaking because you can tell that Kate has a lot to offer the world and she just can’t see it. I loved watching Kate start to open up and see that there can be more to life if she is brave enough to reach out and take it. When we hit the point where the floor falls out, I didn’t know if Kate could handle it again. And while she may not have reacted how I wanted her to, she proved that she could take it. In a lot of ways Kate needed the floor to fall out so she could see what she wanted from life.Our love interest is Jamie and I am a little bit in love with Jamie. He is just wonderful and damn near perfect. Okay, not true. Jamie is not perfect. He makes mistakes and he is real but I really loved him; so in my head he is perfect. There is a lot I want to say about Jamie, but I also don’t want to say much because I feel like everyone should just go meet Jamie for themselves. Also there is some spoilers surrounding him and while I admit to guessing his secret correctly, it did not lessen the pain when it was brought into the light. I loved everything from his charm to his wit, he is gorgeous but he also has a gorgeous personality. Also he is persistent and goes for what he wants.The chemistry between Jamie and Kate just feels so real. You can see the connection as clear as day between them. They have some truly tender and sweet moments and they also have some off the chart steamy moments. I completely got caught up in their whirlwind romance.Nowhere But Here also delivered a great set of secondary characters. I have a real soft spot for Jerry and Dylan. Both of them were such helps to Kate. They told her what she needed to hear but were also there when she needed to fall apart. I also need to mention that Will and Mia from Sweet Thing make a cameo. Normally I wouldn’t mention something like this, but being that their cameo brought on feels and tears I thought it was necessary. I thought it was the perfect touch and addition to the story. Also I love Will Ryan and will take any opportunity to talk about him.Nowhere But Here was a heartwarming read and one I easily fell in love with. Jamie and Kate are great characters and they are great together. I just loved them and their story and just everything about the book. It’s a beautiful story and I highly recommend reading it.
