Death changes everyone...
To make the pain go away, Addison and her father travel down separate, dark paths. She chooses to end her grief forever, while he drowns his sorrows in the bottom of a bottle. How do you learn to live again when the most important person in your life is gone?
Addison struggles to pick up the pieces of her life. Instead of getting back to being the carefree teenager she once was, she's stuck handling all of the responsibilities that should have been her father's. She has no time to grieve, no time for emotions, and no time for happiness...until Zander Reinhardt walks in. All it takes is one little handwritten note on a napkin to kick-start her back to life and help her realize that maybe there's more to that life than pain.
But can it really be that simple? Can she really trust this man who makes her feel alive again for the first time in a year?
Addison and Zander both have secrets they aren't ready to share. When the truth finally comes out, is it enough to tear them apart or has something bigger than themselves always been watching over them, pushing them together, making sure they both get their happily ever after?
They say time heals all wounds.
I am in a different thought process after reading this book. I am blown away and having such a hard time trying to find my words, Anyone who has ever lost a loved one might relate to this book.
Addison is barely able to hold on to her sanity as she copes with the loss of her mother. To make matters worse for her she is only nineteen, and is now having to deal with her father that has become an alcholic after losing his wife. The loss is too much for her to bare, she just wants it all to end. She is now responsible for so much at her young age, having to keep her mothers bakery from going under and paying bills. How do you keep living when you've lost your mother who was also your best friend?
"I can't do this without you. I hate that your not here. I hate it so much".
Zander a handsome young man, has become a regular customer at her bakery. He finds himself "watching over her" as she works. He leaves her notes on napkins, just like her mother did when she was alive. Over time Zander begins to break the walls that Addison has built around her to save her from herself.
I could not imagian losing a loved one especially at such a young age, let alone all the adult responsibilites that Addison endured. This is different than anything I have read and am very pleased with how Tara wrote this book. What captured me the most is her ability to write this as if anyone reading the book was right there walking in Addison's shoes. The journey that she embarks on is painful and heartfelt and left me coping with my own emotions, as I imagined what if this happened to me?
