Once, my high school bestie and I were inseparable, but now an entire year can go by without us exchanging a word. It’s not that we meant to grow apart, we just did.

A heartfelt, heartbreaking and heartwarming story of love, family and loss and the ties that bind us’ DANI ATKINSThank you so so much to Paige Toon for sending me a copy of this one in exchange for an honest review! Daisy Rogers works in the hospitality department of one of the teams following the F1 race. Her job is to provide food and drink to the team members and their sponsors. While performing this task Daisy crosses paths with Luis Castro. Not a nice meeting because Luis almost hit crashed Daisy with her scooter. Instead of apologizing, Luis accuses Daisy of being an incompetent driver and just unplugs her. That’s when Daisy and Luis again renew their friendship; after all, Luis is a person who is very trusty of Daisy and always makes her cheerful. While Luis does not want to miss the opportunity to approach Daisy, he drags her to lunch and charity events filled with important people who sponsor their teams. And while in Brazil he brings Daisy to meet with his extended family. But Jamie hurtled into our lives at the age of thirteen and never left. He turned thirty recently and although he hasn’t lived at the farm in almost a decade, he turns up nearly every day to visit my parents. They’d be lost without him. The story is told from Leah’s perspective, alternating between a past and present tense. At the age of fifteen, Leah is used to sharing the attention of her parents with others as they foster several troubled teens, but when angry George walks in to their home she found herself drawn to him despite his aggressive nature, but she certainly never anticipated falling in love with him.
