Wow! What a great
book, defiantly one of my all-time favourites and there's going to be another
book in this series- good news indeed. Superbly well written, it had me
laughing one minute and blubbering like an idiot the next- this is a book about
the ups and downs of life.
The main characters are Carrie and Ben two people who at the start of the book are the perfect couple without them even knowing it. From a young age these two characters have been together through almost everything except for love. As their story progresses it's clear to everyone reading that they are meant to be together even though their lives are tough. This is a couple who in my opinion should go down as being great as it is an equal partnership between two likeminded people. It is a couple I rooted for from the beginning up until the very last page.
The secondary characters were briefly mentioned in passing, the only character I felt added to the story was MG and there's not much to say about her other than she was a fantastic influence in Cassie's teenage years who remained there in spirit until the end.
The pacing was great giving the characters time to develop as adults, which since the book is set across the characters lifespan and not just their teenage years I though was fantastic. In my opinion it did not feel rushed because it was as though we were living tragedy with the characters and that can at times feel blurred.
The storyline was similar of 'dear John' however I felt I had a much greater emotional connection to these two main characters since a larger proportion of the book was set in the teenage years helping us get to know the characters better.
5 stars. A great read by an author to look out for in future.
