This book is a very appealing young adult novel with an original storyline and well-developed characters. I love the plot line of this story and how Collins’ way of writing made me feel anxious when Shelby was anxious. A girl who can’t remember her past relationship with a boy who claims he loves her, and his quest to prove she loved him too. Page by page the story built with flashes to back the story and little puzzle pieces slowly coming together. This left me on my toes and guessing until the last page of the book. This book pulls the reader into the middle of a realistic teenage love story. I connected very well with Shelby that it drew me into how she was feeling. An author who is able to do just so is a great writer. The author Renee Collins will put you through lots of sad and happy emotions throughout this book. This story was a beautiful story through and
