This follows Celeste, a mother to a teenager, who lost her husband before her son, Damien, was born. Growing up, she had a best friend, Lucas, and they were inseparable. Jeremy, her future husband, was part of this group. Although Celeste and Lucas always had feelings for each other, when Jeremy confessed his feelings, Lucas stepped aside. Just before her husband passed away, her best friend began to distance himself, which left her with a lot of anger because that was when she needed him the most. But what happens when he returns to where it all began over a decade later?
I loved this story. Two people who were inseparable as teenagers became separated due to decisions, hidden feelings, and different life paths, only to find each other again many years later. You could feel the tension between Celeste and Lucas. The anger Celeste holds inside makes the chemistry between the two ignite. I was heartbroken over the letters and the moments where they went back and forth, struggling with whether they could or couldn’t be together. I just needed them to be together. Be mindful of some of the content and themes discussed in the book. I look forward to reading more from L.M. Halloran in the future.
