The emotions in this book had me laughing one minute and crying the next, As Dani struggles to forget the past, having watched her father an abusive parent and wife beater kill her older brother and the only stability in her life. Her mother's quick descent into alcoholism as well as defending Dani's father she quickly moves through to the adoption system. Some families were good occasionally getting back to her mother but still her mother refusing to ever fully stop having self pity on the situation her life had dealt her. Dani ends up back in the system and with the family she now knows and loves as her parents the Thompsons. They support her and help her through her life like parents should.
Her best friend from the first time she came to live with her parents is secretly the love of her life and she writes songs filled from her love and pain. Reese is the one thing in life she can't live without or so she feels. But she is to scared to tell him that he's not really like a brother to her but her one love. It takes Collin a guy from her past from a bad foster home to help her realize that somethings aren't always best locked away and people aren't always what you picture or seem. That some emotions are reciprocated and that forgiveness, life, love and death all make us the person we are.
In that she gets the courage to tell Reese how she feels, To find out that he feels the same and that Colin is one of the best friends she never thought she would have. It's a captivating and heartwrenching tale with a surprise twist at the end and the happiness that everyone longs for eventually as well as the strength to not dwell in the past but live for your future.
