This is the summer before Natalie leaves Union to pursue her degree at Brown. She should be elated and excited, but she isn't. She has been dealing with a great deal of inner turmoil, and had previously made big changes in her life. While she is trying to deal with the fall out -- the loss of things she loved to do, the loss of close and dear friendships, she is also dealing with nightmares, which she has been unable to get to the bottom of for many years. And then she meets him - Beau. He is a broken boy, as she is a broken girl, but for some reason, he makes her feel safe and understood.
I loved the web that Emily Henry spun for us and the way she challenged me to try and figure out all the connections. I loved the way Henry wove in Native American tales and Biblical stories. I fell in love with Beau and Natalie, and was so vested in their relationship. This story is a journey, and it has many ups and downs. My emotions went up and down with the events in the story and culminated in chapter 31!!!! Chapter 31 was so painfully beautiful. I cried. I shed actual tears and did that sobbing, hiccuping thing too.
The ending was so beautiful, I am starting to cry just thinking about it. But, I shed tears with a little smile, because it was so gorgeous, and perfect.
