You know that feeling you get when you crack open a book and as the words float off the page and weave around your heart, you know you've just discovered something special?
Well, that was me with Rachel and Jake's story.
From the first moment Jake landed on Rachel's porch needing help, and Rachel discovered him and took him in, you could feel the "something" that sparked between them, even though both had demons from their past that kept them from fully acknowledging that "something." The drama and trials and adventures they faced together and separately helped both to grow and dig deep into their hearts about what really matters and what they really needed and wanted. The story moved quickly, but it didn't feel rushed either. Each layer to the story naturally grew and settled as you worked through everything - from the relationships to the surprising twists thrown in.
What especially clicked with me was the way Tracy Garrett used her words to build her world. I was sucked into the pages in such a way that I was living and breathing the story - experiencing everything as Jake and Rachel were. Remarkable story-telling like that isn't always easy to find, and I'm delighted to have discovered a new book to treasure and revisit often.
