Ever since I saw the cover of this book and found out if you liked "If I stay" and "The truth about forever", I wanted to read this.

Stories that deal with the loss of family/family members are always sad but Jennifer Castle did it well. I liked how you follow Laurel through the story but you always find out about what happened to David and how the death of his mother and his dad that is in a coma after the accident deals with loss. I thought you handled everything very well and David just went off the deep end a little bit. I'm glad Laurel had her grandmother to help her out after the accident because she probably wouldn't have acted the way David did.

I like how art and working at the animal hospital kind of "saved" her and how she really was able to heal slowly but surely.

I like at the end you find out where Laurel decided to go off to college. I hate when some books leave you hanging and don't tell you what happens to the main character that you have grown to like.
