From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jamie McGuire comes a riveting tale of first love that starts young but runs deep.
The first time Elliott Youngblood spots Catherine Calhoun, he’s just a boy with a camera, and he’s never seen a sadder and more beautiful sight. Both Elliott and Catherine feel like outcasts, yet they find an easy friendship with each other. But when Catherine needs him most, Elliott is forced to leave town.
Elliott finally returns, but he and Catherine are now different people. He’s a star high school athlete, and she spends all her free time working at her mother’s mysterious bed-and-breakfast. Catherine hasn’t forgiven Elliott for abandoning her, but he’s determined to win back her friendship…and her heart.
Just when Catherine is ready to fully trust Elliott, he becomes the prime suspect in a local tragedy. Despite the town’s growing suspicions, Catherine clings to her love for Elliott. But a devastating secret that Catherine has buried could destroy whatever chance of happiness they have left.

My Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐
This was such a beautiful and compelling story filled
with love and mystery, that will have you on the edge of your seat until the very last page! I came into this story completely blind I seen that one of my all time favorite authors wrote it and had to read it. Boy, was I in for a surprise. This story was nothing like she had ever written before, I was blown away. I loved that she was able to completely throw me for a loop by the end of the book. That ending was a huge shock! I was so surprised I didn't see the little signs, that I now see when I sit back and think about it! I loved it!
