This was heartbreaking in the absolute best way. It handled the topic stunningly, showing different kinds of and stages of grief and how it can effect the people around you. Sad and sweet and with the perfect amount of angst. Highly recommended!

I've received a free copy of the ebook via Making Connections group, so thanks to them and Danni Keane for letting me read it.
This ebook was a nice, short read that I enjoyed. It also wasn't as sad as I expected it to be, which I'm still not sure about if it's a good thing or not. I do think that if the story was longer, it would have done the characters and storyline more justice. I feel like the characters and plot weren't as developed as they could have been. I did enjoy the characters as far as they were described; Josh and Bradley seem like sweet guys.

Actual Rating: 3.5
Favorite Character: Josh Roberts
This was a cute story and I really enjoyed it. I didn't see much of a plot to this one, but even with the minor one in there, it was really good. Because it was a short story (About 27 pages), there wasn't much time to get to know the characters, but in saying that, the character descriptions were very good in the few pages we got to meet them.
Okay, I must admit the warning at the front of the book (look below at 2% of you don't know what I'm talking about :) Had me stumped, but I thought that there were more YA warnings than Adult ones. It didn't feel like an Adult story, so I am assuming it wasn't. The only thing that might have required a bit of attention was the language in there (A few f-bombs.) And you know, hormonal teenage action ;) Lol. But yeah, wasn't bad enough to be considered Adult, so...confused as to why that is there...
Oh, and awesome cover- love it!! :)
But, overall an awesome story and a really good one for a quick read. This one is worth your time!!
Favorite Quote from book, and the reason for the title :)
"And all the while Bradley stays there, holding my hand. Not letting go. "
*NOTE: Okay, this note is mainly for me, I'm not going to add this to my 2013 reading challenge as it is below 60 pages (Which is the only* requirement for my 2013 challenge) so, I read this on the 19/3/13 :)

I really liked this book!
I loved the fact that unlike most LGBTQ young adult novels, it didn't involving coming out or a gay bashing. Instead I was faced with a beautiful story about grieving, young love and the constant need to be good enough.
Even though it was a shot story it managed to get to me in it's limited amount of pages. To be honest I got to the end and wished I had more to read!
All in all, a great read with a sweet ending. Can't wait to read more of Danni Keane's work.
