*5 Stunning Stars for a Remarkable Road Trip*

This book…Wow!

I was honestly blown away. I really enjoyed R.S. Grey's Behind His Lens so I knew I'd enjoy this book, but I had no idea just how much. With This Heart captured me and held on, taking me on a profound journey that I'm sure will live with me for a long time.

Abby Mae is relatively new to most things in life, though she has experienced some of worst heartache that life has to offer. Just as she is about to take a life-validating road trip, Beck appears. Somehow this quirky and awesomely hot guy is able to sneak his way into her plans. They both have no idea what might happen along their journey, but it forever changes them.

Let me just say READ THIS!
I mean it.
Seriously. Read this.

R.S. Grey's writing is beautiful. I was fabulously caught up in the story, laughing and crying right along with Abby and Beck.
I have so many favorite lines. Here are a few.

"What?" I asked.
He shook his head, but his grin never faltered. "Nothing. Just trying to remember this moment." ………
"Why?" I asked.
"Because our lives will never be the same."

"Don't you want to be that person? Don't you want to have memories of this summer that don't include measuring your freaking footprint?"

Staring at each other over that bonfire, it became clear that there were one million ways to view the world, but that Beck and I saw everything in the same wavelength. Like life was one big private joke that we got to share.

I could seriously go on and on, but I don't want to spoil it for you.
It's sweet, funny, and heart wrenching, touching emotion in the most poignant way. It makes you want to look in the mirror and weigh your worth. It makes you want to take a road trip, throw your feet on the dash, turn on some John Denver, and explore everything that life has to offer.

Thank you for this gorgeous story, R.S.!
