5 Complete stars!!I absolutely fell in love with this story, I was sucked in and could not put it down until I read the last page then I was still craving more! Major book hangover!Ashlyn has lost half of herself, she has lost her twin. She doesn't see how she can possibly go on without Gabby. On top of losing her sister and best friend, her mom has sunk into heavy drinking and is sending Ash to live with her absent father, Henry, in Wisconsin. Henry has started a new life with a new family. Now Ashlyn must adjust to a new sister, Hailey, and a new brother Ryan along with finishing high school with her father as the assistant principle. On the train to Wisconsin she comes across a man. Well not quite a man but a cross between a man and a boy, a "banoy" as she calls him. He has the most beautiful blue eyes, eyes you could lose yourself in.Daniel Daniels knows loss. He lost his mother because of his careless brother, in a senseless crime. Then losing his father shortly after. When his blue eyes meet Ashlyn's green he can see the pain and lonliness in her eyes. He wonders if maybe she would understand the pain he carries like no one else can. He invites her to here his band, Romeo's Quest, play.The two find an instant kinship and attraction. Thinking they have found the one person who may be their light in darkness. That is until the first day of school when blue eyes once again meet green, only this time it is as student and teacher. Daniel Daniels becomes Mr. Daniels, Ashlyn's english teacher.This story is so heartbreaking. I could feel all of their pain. I love how Ryan and Hailey accepted Ashlyn into their lives. I loved Ryan! I could see so many teenagers with in this one character. I was never a fan of William Shakespear until I read this. I still do not think I could sit down and read Shakes but the quotes brought out the true love in Shakespear's work. So not only did I get a story that made me laugh and ripped my heart out, I also got the best of Shakespear.This story will leave you ripped wide open and raw. Then it will put you back together and squeeze you tight.Sent from my iPad
