The reviews were correct on this one, it is a very touching story that you will have trouble putting down. I just adore this read and it did keep me up very late at night. I had this read within two days which should tell you how much I love it. I just had to find out the ending and lord what an ending. The author does have a very special talent for story telling that will keep you hooked. You have two love stories here, one from long ago, where hearts were broken, life’s were destroyed and friendships lost. How many of us would love a second chance, just one more time to get it right? Do you really think we would have done things different? Keep this thought in mind, if you could redo you life and make different choices would your life be as it is today? Would you have the kids, family, job etc that you have today? I do believe that everything happens for a reason and that it is to make us a better person. I feel this author reminds us of this and the important things in life. Stephanie has never gotten over her true love James, even after 20 years has gone by, all it takes is a song to put her right back into his arm in her mind. No man has ever hurt her like James has because she never let another one get that close. Oh she moved on, got married and had a daughter but she never could forget that one man who rocked her world. James feels the same way, one night was all it took for him to make the biggest mistake of his life. In doing so he had to give up the one woman he will love for all time. Did he make the right choices he wonders, then looks at his two boys and thinks he made the only choice he could. These boys are his life he would do it all over again just to have them. Charlotte Stephanie’s daughter just had her heart broken, but like most young people they think we adults know nothing. Stephanie didn’t know how to show her daughter that she understood, she thought that maybe if she gave her, her diary that she would understand more and maybe it would help her grow and get over the pain. Charlotte learns a lot from this book, she even learned her mother’s secrets. They say it is a small work and Stephanie and James are about to find out just how small it really is. Stephanie and James to Charlie and Mitch this is a very touching story of loosing love, finding love and maybe loosing it again. The reason for the 4 stars and not a 5 which I really think this story and this author deserves is this book is 574 pages long. You could have cut a quarter at least if not more out of this book and still had the same effect. I didn’t feel we had to read each page of her diary that has little or no meaning to it. Yes it did make the book more believable but I felt it was not needed. I really wanted to give this book a 5+ for I really feel it does deserve it. In no way was this a boring book, but I did find myself wanting to flip through some meaningless parts and move on. Would I buy this book for myself or others you damn right I would. It is a very touching story of love, love lost, getting second chances, growing, learning and so much more. The author did an outstanding job of keeping your attention. The book flows easy and the plot is to die for. I do highly recommend this book and I will be making it my pick of the week. If there is one story you should read it is this one.
