Subject matter was very serious, but done very well. It also had enough of a mystery going on that it keeps the reader engaged.”“This has been by far one of the best books I have read in a while!”“This is pure drama with a very good dose of angst thrown in. I wondered how these two could ever come back together again since what has torn them apart has become a runaway train. They both have to admit what their part is in what has happened to their love. Again……I love the teenagers in this book and Kathryn Shay knows how to write her kids (and adults).”“Kathryn Shay is best at creating edgy plot lines from hot button issues, and creating a world where Romance characters heroically meet tough challenges. She is able to take the best from the Romance genre and complicate the lives of realistic and exceptional characters to create satisfying stories that don’t shy away from the complexities of life – a must read!!!”
