    Coming from a family of addicts I was instantly intrigued to read this book for not only the love story but for the aspect of addiction. The reason it only got 4 stars was due to that. I felt that the part of the addiction and what he was really going through was lacking. I know from first hand experience of dealing with family members that stopping using is never that easy. THAT being said and out of the way, I will say OMG. What an amazing love story. I think we have all had that "one" in High School that we thought we would be with forever and that our lives would end without them. She captured this so well that I went back to my youth and my first love with every word. Without giving a spoiler, I will just say that the last few chapters had me angry, shocked, emotional, and blubbering like I was a child. I NEVER expected it and didn't see it coming. If it were a semi, I would have been hit. I loved this book overall and very much look forward to reading more by this amazing author!
