This story brought all the feels as it touched on a subject near and dear to my heart, Alzheimer’s and honoring the wishes of someone you love, in spite of the pain it might bring. Yes, this is a love story, but it’s one that is a story of love between siblings, family, and parents and children, as much as it’s a live story between two childhood friends. Willow and Cam are childhood friends, neighbors, and both are victims of not sharing their true feelings with each other. Their love story is predictable. The side plots and their relationships with their families are the heart of what makes this a true love story. Who hasn’t disappointed a parent or been painted as something that they are not? For me, reading about their history and their relationships with their families was the driving force that made me appreciate all that Cam went through to get the happiness he thought he was unworthy of. An enjoyable quick-read that reminded me of how precious life can be.
