Austin made this book for me. Sienna was an alight character but Austin I simple loved. Sweet love story, gripping tragedy and an all and all enjoyable read. ( )

A beautifully written and highly emotional older YA read. A chance meeting on the streets of Savannah has the power to alter the course of two lives. He's worked hard and overcome stereotypes and obstacles to get to just this place in his life. Everything is good. She's still an emotional mess after a horrible life loss but trying hard to make her way. The summer after their senior year is one neither is ever likely to forget...

This is a great read and one I recommend to all. ( )

This book is third of the three books I’ve recently won which had been offered as part of an internet giveaway by the publisher and the following is my honest opinion for this book.

As with any young girl there’s a strong desire to have the best summer possible after graduating high school and before heading off to college. So Sienna, her mother and brother head off to Tybee Island, where the family had spent countless summers before. But this time it’s different, there’s a lot of guilt her father is no longer alive having been killed as she had been driving the car.

Sienna would love to have the memories of that night disappear, however this is impossible as visions keep on playing in her mind each time she sees a site from a happy moment in her life during one of her stays on the island.

During one of these mental rewinds of the past she blacks out, but luckily one wonderful hunk of a guy, Austin Dobbs, comes to her aid and she immediately gets smitten and her first true romantic relationship ensues. While she has a history, he has issues; yet somehow they make something out of it.

Ms. Johnston has created a wonderful coming of age story, one which will have you feel the roller coaster of emotions along with the characters of the book. The story tugs at your heartstrings and has you shedding tears for them; and might have you recall memories of when you’d been around Sienna’s age; which is why I’m happy to this book 5 STARS. ( )

I received an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I have a few male characters on my book-boyfriends list and Austin made it into the list. What I love so much about Austin is his honesty. He is always honest with Sienna…ALWAYS. The building-up of the story and the romance was great. I actually liked the pacing because there were interesting facts in this story. I am a Psychology major and I learned something in this book that could be seen as Epilepsy but it isn’t—it has to do more with the psychological matter and I can’t wait to investigate more on this.

I loved every character, except for Kyle (Sienna’s boyfriend) and Nancy (Sienna’s mom). I was in my Advanced Spanish class in college and I kept rolling my eyes, shaking my head, raising my hands in a frustrated way so much that my friend seated behind me asked me if I was okay. I was so frustrated with those two. Not only that, I hated the cheating part. I don’t and will never agree with cheating and this story has loads of it, coming from Sienna. This is the reason why I can’t give this story 5 stars (or rather, flowers).

All in all, it is a great story to read. Very light and to the point and shows a lot about honesty coming from a guy, which I love. ( )
