Stone Heart by Susan K. Hamilton, Susan K. Hamilton

4.0

Stone Heart is a very complicated story, but in a good way. Lauren and Danny are high school sweethearts, truly and deeply in love. But they both want different things out of life so they go their separate ways after graduation. Fast forward a number of years and they are thrown together again. Are those gut-wrenching feelings still there? Or will they be content as platonic friends?

The story then takes you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, involving the two of them and their entire family and friends' worlds. There is plenty of relationship drama and angst. I felt all of it right along with everyone else.

This is a wonderfully written story about a complex topic but it is also a beautiful tale of deep love, regrets, forgiveness, and following your heart. Stone Heart is the first book I have read by Ms. Hamilton and it's her first foray into women's fiction. She writes did a fabulous job, the words just flowed off of the pages. I will definitely be reading more of her books. I highly recommend this book to everyone who likes women's fiction.
