I finally decided to see why everyone was talking about this author and just chose the first audiobook available from my library. It's one of her older ones, though, so it may not show much about her current writing style. Although the cast of characters was brief, I felt they were pretty well-developed and intricate. The premise of the story sounds shallow, but it quickly becomes apparent that the male lead is hiding a past in which he suffered a life-altering pain so severe that he believes he'll never be healed. That secret is so heartbreaking, but he finally manages to see past the pain with the help of those closest to him. Told in alternating chapters by Tate (female lead, present time) and Miles (male lead, six years ago), this book takes the reader through all the emotions. Keep the tissues handy!
