This was a really sweet story with a beautiful ending. I liked the back and forth between Cary and Shiloh’s high school years and adult years, although towards the end, the flashbacks sort of disrupted the flow of the story in present day. Shiloh and Cary were fantastically unique characters. I loved the interactions and varying relationships Cary had in his family dynamic. Shiloh was kind of all over the place but her personality complemented Cary’s really well in their friendship and relationship.
