Things in life can derail us from our true path. A detour that takes your life in a different direction. But as with all detours you eventually end up back on the road your supposed to be on.

That is the path Shelby and Zach took. Two soul mates who couldnt deal with a huge life decision when they were young. This set them on a path that kept them apart for 15 years.

(For all those whacked reviews that try to tell you different – they BOTH made the decision – AND anyone that is a single mom/dad worth their salt would also say that even though things didnt work out for what ever reason with the other parent that they do NOT regret going through that because they got their kid out of it. And all the crap about him getting with the BFF and having kids - Who can claim they have no regrets over something they did while drunk or high - heck you might not ever remember doing it but that doesn't mean there arent consequences. At least he was man enough to own up them. Why is there no outrage against the BFF - she knew what she was doing he didnt - he was drowning his grief in booze and drugs - BUT he didnt take the typical road and say sorry its your problem - he did the right thing for the kids and got his life back on track)

If you've read this author before you know she writes great love stories. Yes the books have subject matters that are sad and sometimes heartbreaking but she write the stories in a way that your not crying your eyes out and actually has her characters for the most part act like grown ups and deal with situations in calm and rational ways. Along with the two main characters there are also 3 kids that play a huge part of the book and she shows honest reactions from the kids from being from broken homes.

The next book in the series shoot ahead quite a few years and gives us Zach's daughter story which based on the blurb in the back of this book there may actually be some tears shed in that one. ( )
