In this bittersweet story of the innocence and naivety of youth, the reader is transported back to his or her high school days. We’ve all been Jim. We’ve all had our Marty. Wrapping the story in today while jumping back to days past is not always easy to pull off, but it works here. A recommended read. – John Staradumsky

A lovely lyrical book and excellently written. It makes use of flashbacks, yet these are expertly woven into the story so that you always know where you are and how they contribute to the tale. This is quite a short read (I downloaded it to my Kindle and read it on my train journey) but it certainly packs a lot into the story and the idea is fresh and novel. I have not read a story like this before. It’s not my normal type of reading material, as most of my reading these days is factual or business-related related but I really enjoyed it and was sorry when it was finished.

The book basically makes the point that it is better to be sorry for sins of commission, rather than regret sins of omission, yet it also shows how the angst of high school and teen fears get in the way of true love. One point I would make – I would LOVE to see a sequel to this, written from Marty’s point of view. PLEASE? – Meg Learner

I really enjoyed the characters. They were very three-dimensional if that makes sense. They were relatable, emotion-evoking, thoughtful and like I mentioned, I loved that the characters grew and evolved. I don’t enjoy stubborn characters and find it boring when they remain stagnant….

I really enjoyed the characters. They were very three-dimensional if that makes sense. They were relatable, emotion-evoking, thoughtful and like I mentioned, I loved that the characters grew and evolved. I don’t enjoy stubborn characters and find it boring when they remain stagnant….

But these characters were far from stagnant. They were also very interesting to follow, especially the character of James Garraty. You see his internal struggle with different aspects of his life, especially with love and loss.  – Pooja Gudka, author of All the Words I Kept Inside
