5 HUGE STARS!! When I picked up this book I was hoping to get an
angst-filled young adult romance, with a swoon-worthy dreamy boy that would
propel me back to my youth…make me feel young… and give me that floating on a
cloud feeling. I got all that and SO MUCH MORE!!
I’m not going to delve in the plot, because there is much to be said
about the element of surprise and the impact it holds. So much is better just
left unsaid. However, I will say that this is a book about choices, the nasty
and the sweet side of life, empowerment, and friendship. Jacqueline and Lucas
are brought together for a reason…to save each other. When you know it’s right,
grab on, hold on, reach out, be patient…“good things come to those who wait”.
Tammara Webber did a wonderful job depicting the college setting, and
unfortunately, what can also be the sad reality of campus life. Just beware,
there is delicate subject matter addressed in this book, and the picture
painted isn’t always pretty, this is more than just a light YA romance.
As for Lucas, he was once a bad-boy, still had the bad boy “image”, was
fierce and protective when need be, but he was also a sweet gentle soul *sigh*!
He is the stuff YA romance novels are made of, every girl’s dream. Jacqueline
was a little naïve, but with some nudging from her awesome, brazen, loyal
roommate and friend Erin, she empowered herself with the knowledge and skills
that allowed her to take a stand. Yes!!!
The story is well-written, compact, but complete. Initially I didn’t
think that the length of the book would allow the story to develop properly,
but it did and the epilogue finished it off nicely. It left me very satisfied.
This is the fourth book that I’ve read from Tammara Webber and I look forward
to seeing what this gifted author has in store for us. I highly recommend this
read and the other books she has to offer.
“Choosing to be with you isn’t a difficult decision, Jacqueline,” he
breathed, pulling back one final time to stare into my eyes. “It’s easy.
Incredibly easy.”

ghost of a smile
