Well, Billy Taylor is the new Nicholas Sparks. This is a love story that is better than The Notebook. This love story comes with lessons that apply to everyone whether they are in a relationship or not.
From the minute I picked up the book, I wondered if Ethan and August would end up together. As I got deeper into the book I was sitting on the edge of my seat wondering how Billy Taylor would pull these two love birds out of the plot twists that occur.
