I’ve never read anything better. I was crying, breathing hard, heart was palpitating, thought I was going to throw up. I am so gut wrenchingly distraught it’s not even fathomable. I downloaded the second book as soon as I finished the first.

This book was so sad. 
Salem is an 18-year-old girl who has lived through such a hard life.
Thayer is a grump older (35) neighbor who recently moved in. 
Salem begins to see him as more than just her neighbor and the connection grows the more she babysits his son. 
Eventually, they get to a place where they’re happy and they’re going to announce their relationship only for it to come crashing down in a single moment. 

This book does not have a HEA. BOOK 2 does.
