As this is the first book by this author, I must say that I am pleasantly surprised. It is a sweet story, and despite being short, it is full of emotions.

Emmett and Cash met when Cash was still younger and Emmett his teacher. They were both in love with each other, even though it was something they both hid. Despite the age difference and Cash being a student and Emmett his teacher, they shared a certain friendship, and it was Emmett who advised him to be true to himself and follow his dreams.

Cash left for college, to do exactly as Emmett had advised, but after five years he's back to pursue his most cherished dream, only to find that he's back too late... Or is he still on time?

I loved the story and I knew it was going to be short, but I have to say, I would have liked more. Now, that's not a criticism. It's just that I think that if it had expanded a little more in some parts, it would be a GREAT book. For example:

(Maybe SPOILERS)


- Something about their lives during those 5 years apart, talking about Cash's hard times, and how Emmett decided to marry Harper, (because I don't think it was really out of love, although he did care deeply for her, but because of an unconscious desire of his father's approval)
- Harper's reaction when he finally talks to her. I would have liked to see how he assumed his true feelings in front of her. Etc etc.

Despite that, it is a story that I recommend. It is proof that when someone begins to accept themselves, to dream and pursue those dreams while remaining faithful to their truth, great things happen.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily wrote a review.
