Best friends since they can remember, always there for each other, never having secrets from each other, makes a bond that seems unbreakable, yet when feelings turn to more will it ruin this bond or make it stronger? Aaron and Poppy have this connection and she has been in love wit him for a very long time, but Aaron can never see it or he avoids it because of his fear that it would all be ruined. Aaron knows how Poppy feels but with the weight of his future on the line his senior year he needs to stay focused, keep the peace, and work even more for his goal so keeping Poppy firmly as his best friend is the only option. Poppy is tired of fighting for the love she has for Aaron and wants to finally move on only if she could convince her heart to do that. This book made me so emotional because the hurt that Poppy felt each time Aaron rejected her or she saw him with Zara was so real I felt I was going through it with her. Aaron and the way he feels he isn’t good enough made my heart hurt because all he wanted was to play football in college yet the goal always seemed the fall out of reach. The pain of watching these two dance around their feelings for each other gripped me so when they finally see what is in front of them made me so happy. Poppy and Aaron has craved a place in my heart to be one of my favorites from this series. ( )
