Perfect
book cover! Magnificent characters! Beautiful love story! Ms. Andrews writes
with heart and soul. My heart ached for the trauma and sorrow that Beau
endured. No young person should ever have to go through such abuse. And, Leila
was such a kind and caring person. She was just so mislead by circumstances
beyond her control. At such a young age, she never really understood the depth
of Beau’s loyalty and love towards her until it was apparently too late. I was
so happy that these two strong individuals had their story told;)
Leila
and Beau were such great friends when they were young. The stars were their
saving grace when such destruction and chaos were present in their lives. As
long as they had the stars, they would have each other. But, somewhere along
the way their friendship disintegrated when their worst fears were assumed and
not actually confirmed. Each were living in different locations. But, time
passes by, and Leila returns to the island only to be stunningly shunned by her
best friend. She has no idea why Beau hates her so much. That’s in the past,
though, and in the present Leila now lives in New York City near her best
friend, Ali. I was happy to get a glimpse now and then of Drew and Ali and kept
up-to-date with their present lives. I
really enjoyed their story! Now Beau too has moved to NYC to play tennis for
Columbia. His first encounter with Leila is uncomfortable and awkward. As time
goes by, though, it becomes somewhat easier to deal with when they see each
other. Will they ever find themselves able to possess the relationship that
they once had? And, when the truth finally comes out as to why Leila just
abandoned Beau without saying goodbye, will Beau be able to ever forgive her?
Beau is one stubborn guy. He just won’t give Leila a fighting chance to redeem
herself. He honestly feels that she never believed in them or their friendship
if she just walked away so easily. How can he ever trust her again? Leila is
heartbroken. She has been in love with Beau for so long. Will he ever see see
it in his heart to give her another chance?
Oh
my word!!! So much drama and destruction! Hearts broken. Trust stripped away. And,
all due to other people. Secrets finally revealed. There was so much distress
in this novel between family, friends, and lovers. It was a painful one to
read. Ms. Andrews writes this novel with intensity and brillance. The
characters were strong but yet emotionally sensitive. I can’t wait to read
younger brother, Matt’s story! That will be the finale to this deeply moving
series portraying three courageous and scarred brothers finding the love of
their lives.
“But
what I am most thankful for and the thing that I’m most certain about is with
you by my side, no matter what life throws at us, or where we end up...I will
never again have another starless night.” ~ Beau (Epilogue)
