unaware of the turmoil, the sorrow - and the guilt that consumed these broken and very complex people. as the rest of the world laughed and got on with their own lives. I however, do not.Ī breathtaking NA romance as 22 yr old Daniel and 19 yr old Ashlyn knew what it was like to grieve - and grieve hard. I bet if you connect with that sort of story then you will love this book. Also high school drama and angst, lots of tears and a star crossed love affair filled with poetry, sonnets and Shakespeare. You need to be able to relate to a 19 year old who acts more like a much younger teenager with ‘you’ve ruined my life’ tantrums, put up with side characters who make stupid decisions and have a lack of self worth and I think are supposed to be acting like ‘normal’ teenagers (though I don’t remember me or any of my friends being like that when we were 14, let alone older like the characters in this book). I decided to rate it as if I were the person who should have purchased the book instead of a a 30 something year old woman who doesn’t suffer fools. However, I’m clearly not the target audience so I didn’t think it was fair of me to bring the rating down because some people would adore this book, and it is decently written. For me personally, this book was an eye-rolling 3 stars, if that.
