When the Hunter twins' parents were killed in an automobile accident, Kenzie abandoned them. Not because she was heartless, but rather, because she was already drowning in her own family's grief, and could not handle anymore. But she made a choice, after a year, she thought it was time to reconnect with the twins, and this effort might actually open her pathway to healing.
This was a really beautiful portrait of grief and mourning. Both families were dealing with loss, but they were coping in very different ways, which was really realistic. Though Kenzie's family suffered their loss before the Hunters, they never really faced their loss, and it was a ghost, which was keeping the family from moving forward.
Kenzie and Jaden were really the stars of this for me. While they rekindled their romance, we learned more about how they were coping with their pasts. Jaden's openness and vulnerability was something that drew me to him, and I thought he and Kenzie shared a really special and wonderful bond.
The whole time, I was holding my breath, because I knew there was something we didn't know about the Hunter parents' accident, and I was taken aback when I learned the truth. It was tragic and sad, and my heart broke once again.
I really did enjoy this book, and I feel like if the ending hadn't been so rushed, I would have rated it higher, because I loved the characters, the character growth, and the romance.
