Alex was 15 years old with an old soul when we the readers were introduced to her. She had everything a teenage girl wanted great parents and grandparents who loved her to the moon and back. Until one summer life took an unexpected turn and Alex's whole world turned upside down and she felt like she couldn't breathe and there was no moving forward. Until She met Andrew, Drew."He's a ray of sunshine seeping in an empty otherwise black hole that sucks me in with each tear shed and every memory remembered." -AlexI loved Drew he was so kind and warm and made you feel like he would make even the worse day a little better. He always had the right words for Alex to make her feel life was worth living even though it was a black hole. He was her other half even at such a young age he completed her. Sometimes in books love can feel rushed when it is written but in this case it wasn't at all. It was very fast but at the same time the circumstance was different, and I believed it fitted into the story very well."I know you feel like there's no color left in this world. Like there's no light, instead all darkness. But there's sunshine. There are colorful flowers all around us. And for me, you're the only thing... the only one I see. The only one I've seen in a long time. I know it's hard to imagine, but one day you'll see the colors again." -DrewThese words that Drew said to Alex to comfort her is when I fell in love with him.This story will make your heart ache but trust me the heart ache you feel is worth finishing Alex and Drew's story. Life can throw us curve balls and make us feel like there is no way we will survive the cards we were dealt. Alex had these moments often in this book but she always fought and made it through. This is very inspiring! I give this book 4 stars-Harper
