Re read December 2015.Even though I knew what to expect,this book devastated me all over again....just amazing!!

I read loads of books but can honesty say that, to date, no book has made such an impression on me...




Right so , there is no way I can do this book justice in this review, but all I can do is write what I'm feeling right now after just finishing it...

It's a story of first love, hopes and dreams, formed friendships,families coming together, families torn apart but ultimately just an outstanding love story

I loved all the characters ( obviously apart from one ), thought they all played a part in this story, especially loved Rosemary and eventually Connor.

There are no graphic SEX scenes here, but I found it erotic because you could feel the connection and love David and Ryan had for each other.

My favourite quotes...

Ryan to David..
"Every time you're here,there's meaning.When you leave.....I just want you back "

David to his Mom..
"I can't leave what I love behind "

These were the most poignant to me

I finished this about 2 hrs ago and am still crying writing this, it's just an outstanding piece of writing

I'll finish with this..

I had a conversation with my 17yr old son a few weeks ago when he told me that one of his close friends announced that he was gay, I asked him how his other friends reacted and he just shrugged his shoulders and said "fine, why wouldn't they be, everyone likes the person he is "

And that's all it should be about.
