*** JUST AMAZING... ***





This book had me feeling all kinds of emotions...it totally captivated me.Just a wonderful piece of writing.It's a story of the beautiful thing that is first love and second chances.
First love...all the tangled emotions that come with it.The hopes,the dreams,the insecurities but because you love so hard you firmly believe in the future...
Second chances...how mistakes and misunderstanding can shape the pattern of your lives...





The story starts in the present day where Matt is evaluating his life.One day on the subway platform he has an encounter that brings memories flooding back...
The first half of the book goes back to the past.

Matt and Grace meet when they have rooms next to each other at college.They discover they have a lot in common and quickly become friends and are inseparable.

You called us fast friends.I like to think it was more._Matt

I loved Grace,she had such spirit and a fierce determination to be independent as she struggled to put herself through college with no help from her family.Matt is captivated by her and they eventually become lovers.
After graduation Matt leaves for a summer internship for a few months while Grace stays in New York preparing for Grad school.The plan is to meet up again at the end of the summer...


The story then moves to the present day where they have not seen each other or had any contact for 15 years....until the encounter on the subway.
Matt cannot stop thinking about her and puts a post on 'Missed Connections' in an attempt to reach her.She sees the post and they meet up again.





I don't want to give too much more away but there are secrets revealed as we find out about the last 15 years of their lives.

This is just a beautiful story that I cannot recommend highly enough......
