This is truly a special story and EASILY one of the top five books I've read this year. I knew Devin and Kylie were going to be a special couple after reading their bedtime story in KU Korner and I was completely blown away by their entire story. I was hooked from the author's note. That's right. I hadn't even read the first chapter and I just had that feeling about this story. I wasn't disappointed. Each chapter dug it's claws into me and I became so enraptured in this story it was like I was part of it.
Kelsey Kingley's words are so beautiful and poetic. She weaves this breathtaking friendship between two people to the point that it felt so real. Like I was reading a story about two people who really exist because that's how complex this book is. It made me feel so many things. All the things I long for when reading a story. It's stories like this that keep my faith going in authors. That there are still beautiful stories out there that will take your breath away and bury themselves into your heart so that you'll never forget them. I wish we could get Kylie and Devin's entire life story because I would read it. This is one story, one couple that I truly fell in love with and could go on reading forever.
This is a story that you NEED to read! I promise.

About the author
The only pain I ever felt was yours....
Kelsey Kingsley does it again. She writes a story whose characters embed themselves into your heart and your life so that they feel like people you know. They feel like friends and family members. People you turn to to share something with and then feel the loss of them in your life because they aren't real all over again. Her words, because I love words, always make a home in my heart. There are so many I want to share, but I don't want to use any spoilers either. I will say that the scene with the daisies in the field outside the graveyard... I'll have chills that are a permanent fixture in my body forever from just that one scene. Here's some brilliant Kelsey words for you: "When Devin sang, he went somewhere else, and he took me with him." "My eyes locked to hers, and all at once, the foundation of my soul erupted into a million scattered pieces." "But I think what you both need is for you to stop playing the hero in only her story. Maybe it's time for you to be your own too." "The only pain I ever felt is yours." "He strummed a slow tune that sounded the way love felt." I can't wait for the entire world to read this story and see the magic that Ms. Kingsley makes with simple words that build characters and worlds that you can't forget. And the snippets of peek-a-boos of other River Canyon characters we already adore? Priceless! I received an ARC of this book from the author that I adore more than words, but it is an honest and heartfelt review. And I turned around and bought the book anyway so I'd have the final copy in my hot little hands to reread.
