I truly loved this book. David is the unlikely book boyfriend material. He is broken, damaged and thinks he is incapable of loving or being loved. He suffers an unimaginable loss and it changes how he lives. Charlie is a woman he has known since she was a teenager and has loved her ever since but that tragedy has kept him at arms length with everyone. He feels a need to punish himself for something that wasn't his fault.

Charlie has always loved him, from the moment she saw him and years later when he runs into her she realizes she always has loved him. Faults,demons and all. It's beautiful to watch her heal him, to a point. They're perfect for one another, and the chemistry is magnetic! I was really rooting for David. To give himself a break for once in years.
