You have to walk on eggshells for people because that’s about how strong they are these days. Relationships only happen when it’s convenient. “I think everyone’s caught up in these narrow-minded worlds and they think their world exists in the center of the universe. The earth wouldn't exist without the sun. 'You're never going to experience anything if you wait around for perfect conditions.” “If you only focus on the things you leave behind, you'll never go anywhere.” “Life is too short to waste time on people who don't lift you up, who don't inspire you-they'll eventually drain you.” Even though his sister is dead, he is still alive and deserves attention.Īnd now I found out there's a sequel! I had no idea! Hope it's as good as First Comes Love.

She eventually helps him heal and he finally confronts his parents. Every day is a new challenge and she convinces Gray to loosen up and join her adventure and road trips. She is a free spirit and does a different thing every day. Gray avoided his friends and eventually they all stopped coming around and gives up his scholarship to play college baseball.ĭylan wears baggy jeans and carries her camera with her everywhere. They never talk about Amanda or to each other. What she didn't expect is falling in love with him.Įight months ago Gray's twin sister, Amanda died and since then his family hasn't been living a full life. She sees Gray is acting defensive and decides to help him come out from his shell. That all changes when he sees Dylan taking pictures of two geckos 'talking' (aww :D). Gray is a loner and as he said, numb to the world. Our heroes- Gray and Dylan go to the local community college. Something like the cover of Leaving Paradise by Simone Elkeles only with Gray's cap and Dylan's baggy jeans. Don't get me wrong, I like it but it doesn't really show Gray and Dylan as they really are. That cover is misleading and distracting. Oh, this lovely, lovely book! It was so wise and quotable! If I persuade only one person to read this book I'll be so happy.
