This is by far my absolute favorite book. I read my copy so many time the paperback covers fell off. I love the friendships between Lily and Kate how it stays strong even when Jordan leaves. Very well written and such a great story.

This book has brought me inspiration, imagination and a passion for reading. It is still by far my favourite book and something I will never forget.

I loved this book. Despite of it being a short book, the characters were so beautifully developed and the story perfectly captures the damage when living in your own past.

[Kitty Tomlinson · Rating 3 out of 5]

Kate, Lily, and Jordan form a childhood friendship. The two girls and boy vow to meet back at the golf course they spent so much time at in 15 years. Good read.

I picked up this book with low expectations- after all, I'd gotten it as a discarded library book for about a dollar. By the end, however, I was impressed. This book got me thinking about my own life while drawing me into Kate's world- a fantastic combination. Great book, overall!

The storyline was very melancholy. The protagonist's life was told in segments from adulthood and back to childhood.
