Summary:

Next-door neighbors and ex-best friends Hannah and Emory haven’t spoken in months. Not since the fight—the one where they said things they couldn’t take back.

Now, Emory is fine-tuning her UCLA performing arts application and trying to make the most of the months she has left with her boyfriend, Luke, before they head off to separate colleges. Meanwhile, Hannah’s strong faith is shaken when her family’s financial problems come to light, and she finds herself turning to unexpected places—and people—for answers to the difficult questions she’s suddenly facing.

No matter how much Hannah and Emory desperately want to bridge the thirty-six steps between their bedroom windows, they can’t. Not anymore.

Until their paths cross unexpectedly when, one night, Hannah finds Luke doubled over in his car outside her house. In the aftermath of the accident, all three struggle to understand what happened in their own ways. But when a devastating secret about Hannah and Emory’s argument ultimately comes to light, they must all reexamine the things they hold true.

In alternating chapters, a skeptic and a believer piece together the story of their complex relationship and the boy caught somewhere in the middle. New York Times best-selling author Tamara Ireland Stone deftly crafts a moving portrait of faith, love, and friendship. 

My Thoughts:

I just couldn’t finish this book it just wasn’t for me. I was able to finish about 100 or so pages before I just couldn’t finish it. So my review isn’t going to be the best considering how many pages I read.

The alternating POV’s between Hannah and Emory wasn’t the thing that bothered me. I couldn’t relate to them in anyway. Getting more an more into the story I felt more and more disconnected from the characters.

Hannah comes from a religious family; her father is a pastor and the principal of a Christian high school. She beings to question her faith an who she is. Was she able to get the answers that she was looking for? I’m not sure.

Emory has a boyfriend and they are cute together but I’m not sure why she had to break up with him just before she was going off to collage? Maybe I needed to read a little further? Or they didn’t say at all?
