Are you after a tear duct cleansing then have I got the series for you, jump in, grab a box of tissues and take that plunge into a sea of tears!!
I couldn’t even get past the ‘Prologue’ only a few pages in and yep there I was with tears so early on streaming down my face, the first book broke me, the second book destroyed me, but towards the end I found peace. I've loved this series from back to front, both books becoming my all time favorite tear jerkers.
“I’ll…always be…with…you,” Poppy said, and I noticed a sallowness to her skin, heard the terrifying rattle in her breathing deepen and grow more erratic. No…no, no, no… “We will…” Poppy sucked in a faint breath, a fading gasp of air, “meet again…”
Savannah's big sister Poppy died four years ago, but for Savannah it feels like it was only yesterday, she's been in a bubble of grief ever since, life has moved on but she hasn't, and she's expected to start Harvard in the fall but doesn't know if she can make the move with how she's feeling. Her therapist and family push her into attending a five-country trip with like minded teenagers not able to wade through their grief this is the only preventative opportunity they can think of to help her on her path to healing.
And this is where Cael comes into the story, he's also been urged to take this trip in order to find himself and come to terms with his brothers passing. Cael is angry at the world, at his big brother, he hasn't been able to play hockey since the death of his brother. Hockey used to be his life and has been offered a scholarship to Harvard but since he's been unable to pick up a hockey stick he's floundering in his despair.
This book put me through the wringer and spat me out the other side, slightly unhinged but reeling in how beautifully this was written.
I’ve missed this author's words so much, I could’ve done without the tears but she gets a standing ovation for all the feelings this wrung out in me.
Two lost broken souls
Two hearts that healed.
