SUMMER'S BOOK BLOGWow, let me start off by saying this is a very emotional read and had me readjusting my thoughts and priorities in life. Ava's life sucks. She just got canned from a job because she wouldn't give a job... Orally that is.She hates life  because it's not how SHE expected and nothing's going her way. Cody is just living life to it's fullest. He's experiencing all that he can and even made a list! Ava's life changes irrevocably as she meets " the handsome stranger" who gives her a wet note telling her she's beautiful. Of course Ava can't let this go, so she's on a mission to find the handsome stranger.And oh, does she! Oddly, Cody asks her what's on her bucket list... She's clueless. She just thought she wanted to get a job so she could prove to her dad she could make it on her own. Soon Cody and Ava are on a whirlwind adventure that takes them from Sea World to a medicine woman. All the while Ava can sense that Cody is holding something back. Despite his slight withdrawal, Ava falls in love with Cody.A pure, whole heart and soul love that one can only hope to find. Ava figures that in time, he will tell her. Little did she know, time is what Cody doesn't have. Oh what a heart wrenching story. I ran through a bushel of feelings and I'm still left with those feelings. This book is by far one of the most emotional and soul searching books I've ever read.I hadn't realized just how much I took for granted until I read this book. You'll find yourself examining what you thought was prudent and oh so important and asking " Is it really that necessary that I have this or do that?" I can't express enough how thankful I am for Jane having written this book. She's opened my eyes to a whole new meaning of what my life should be lived as, not what I NEED to live it as. I wish I could give it more than a five star rating !!!!
