Wow. I can honestly say I was not expecting this book to be as intense as it was, that blurb is a little misleading, but in a good way. This is one of those deeply emotional stories that bring tears to your eyes. I didn't feel like this was a story about a petulant teenager who simply didn't get her way. The h did not annoy me one bit, in fact, holy cow she was strong for making some seriously hard decisions. The H was not a jerk either. He was incredibly sweet to her. 
 Two best friends who love each other but feel like they can't be together. There are moments when their love is so obvious and so deep, yet they just keep missing it. Some seriously tragic events bring their relationship to a halt and omg I just wanted to hug them both because it was really painful. She has to walk away in order for the both of them to have some sort of life, but of course, they have no life without each other. I loved the moments she had with her brothers when they reunited, the pain they felt from missing her for so long was so raw. Both main characters suffered a lot, they had some major losses in their lives, yet through it all, they were still connected and very much a part of each other's lives. 
 The only thing that I had a small issue with was the ending. I felt like I needed more. I mean clearly there is a HEA, but a glimpse of the future where the H had what he was missing would have been an incredibly sweet way to end the story.
