BLURB:
I’m about to do something huge, and it could change… everything.
I met Matt in second grade, and we’ve been inseparable ever since. We went to the same schools, studied at the same college. When we both got jobs in the same town, we shared an apartment. And when my life took an unexpected turn, Matt was there for me. Every milestone in my life, he was there to share it. And what’s really amazing? After all these years, we’re still the best of friends.
Which brings me to this fragile, heart-stopping moment: I want to tell him I love him, really love him, but I’m scared to death of what he’ll say. If I’ve got this all wrong, I’ll lose him—forever.
REVIEW:
This was like one of the sweetest books I have ever read. So adorable. I love that it’s kinda based on a true story too. I had to go read the real story after this and I just bawled. It was just the greatest. This story was so intimate. Even when they were just friends. It’s how relationships should be.
David wasn’t much for making friends. He was super smart so most kids didn’t like him, until one day a new student came to class. From some reason David really took to Matt. They started a friendship at the tender age of 8 and it grew. There were times when it seemed they were going to drift apart, but they drifted right back together, sometimes with the help of their parents. Over the years, they did everything together, including college and moving in together when they got out and started life in the real world. But an almost death experience put things into a perspective they hadn’t thought of. But if they reveal how they really feel, will it make things bad or good? Will they lose each other as friends?
This was such a romantic story. I know in stories it always seems like it’s just perfect and nothing bad ever happens and yada, yada. But all stories, even ones based on true life, have drama. Ups and downs and such. Just because you don’t always read about them doesn’t mean they aren’t there. But even with the ups and downs in this story, and the real one, it’s just beautiful to read. To see such a level of intimacy and realness, of friendship and closeness, and for it to turn into such a beautiful expression of love. Romantic love. I’m still kinda tearing up thinking about it. I don’t know about anyone else but I remember dreaming about finding that kind of love for myself. And it makes me so happy when it’s found for real. Yeah, I know this is a fictional story ‘loosely based’, but it’s still no less just as beautiful. When you read this, you can tell there’s something special between Matt and David. Even as small children. Even when they were miles apart, there was always something there. A trust they gave no other. A friendship that surpassed any other. They are like the other halves of each other’s souls. And reading them grow and evolve into the loves of each other’s lives was spectacular. David and Matt will always have a special place in my heart.
I hope you love these guys as much as I do. It’s such a heart filled story. So special. One I will reread for years to come.
