Wow - this book was absolutely amazing and had me crying from laughter and from emotional pain. I was so not expecting certain parts of this book and it just hit me from out of nowhere and I just broke.

The author does such an amazing job at bringing you completely into the story and feeling everything that the characters are going through. My heart definitely got a work out with this one!

Rachel is an awesome character who is just trying to get her life back together and be there for her dad. I love their discussions about life and fighting and I completely understood both sides of the discussion. I loved how Ray was able to help Rachel see the other side of everything but do it in an encouraging way. Rachel's self-esteem had taken such a beating with Tim and I liked how she was able to gradually get it back.

Ray is my dream guy! What an absolutely amazing character in so many ways. I loved how he was there for Rachel and her family in every way and was so patient and kind with her and Alyssa. He was such a great balance to everything in this book.

I thought Kate and Ray's cousin Zack were great and they had me laughing at so many parts with the humor and conversations that went on between the two. Zack was so good for Kate when she needed him to be and I loved seeing that side of him.

This was such an amazing book and I can't wait to read the next one! Definitely a tear-jerker!!
