Addison Snow is your typical teenager. She has a family that loves her, friends that make her laugh, and
she's wrapped up in the excitement of graduating high school and going off to college to pursue her dream of
becoming an author. When her mother, who also happens to be Addison's best friend, dies unexpectedly,
her world comes to a crashing halt.
Death changes everyone...
To make the pain go away, Addison and her father travel down separate, dark paths. She chooses to end
her grief forever, while he drowns his sorrows in the bottom of a bottle. How do you learn to live again when
the most important person in your life is gone?
Addison struggles to pick up the pieces of her life. Instead of getting back to being the carefree teenager
she once was, she's stuck handling all of the responsibilities that should have been her father's. She has no
time to grieve, no time for emotions, and no time for happiness...until Zander Reinhardt walks in. All it takes
is one little handwritten note on a napkin to kickstart her back to life and help her realize that maybe there's
more to that life than pain.
But can it really be that simple? Can she really trust this man who makes her feel alive again for the first
time in a year?
Addison and Zander both have secrets they aren't ready to share. When the truth finally comes out, is it
enough to tear them apart or has something bigger than themselves always been watching over them,
pushing them together, making sure they both get their happily ever after?

Tara sucked me in from the beginning. She had me caring for Allison and understanding her within the first couple of pages. I understood her pain, emptiness, need for an escape
"I realized I don't really want to die. I just want to feel something other than sadness"
I cried, oh how I cried. I wanted to wrap Addison in my arms and cry for her. I wanted to let her know that I have been there and things will get better. I'm crying writing this! Damn you Tara for writing such an emotional fanfuckingtablous book! The way Addison grieved, the way she coped, the way she let herself feel. It was real. It was raw. As a reader I like relating to real pain in a story it grounds you and makes you feel connected. Makes you care for the character, makes you feel her pain as if it were your own and that is exactly what Tara did with Allison.
Honestly, I am having a difficult time writing this review. There just aren't any words adequate enough to describe the beautiful emotions it makes you feel. It was beautiful. It was sad. It was perfect. It's a book you HAVE to read to understand the magic of it. Yes, magic. This book is magical! Tara I want to hug you, actually I want you to hold me why I cry. Thank you for this book. Thank you for sharing Allison's story.
