Teenage years can be a time of uncertainty and awkwardness. For Eleanor – the intensity of having a mother dealing with the twists and turns of cancer added to her desire to shy away from others. School was an escape from the looming death sentence that was plaguing Ellie’s home, but it didn’t mean that Ellie went into those high school years in a blaze of glory.

In spite of her withdrawn personality, Ellie became friends with Grey. The two developed an interesting friendship that led Eleanor th Teenage years can be a time of uncertainty and awkwardness. For Eleanor – the intensity of having a mother dealing with the twists and turns of cancer added to her desire to shy away from others. School was an escape from the looming death sentence that was plaguing Ellie’s home, but it didn’t mean that Ellie went into those high school years in a blaze of glory.

In spite of her withdrawn personality, Ellie became friends with Grey. The two developed an interesting friendship that led Eleanor through those difficult days. Grey was the rock that Ellie needed when her future looked bleak. Every moment of pain was met with a shoulder of support that would stay with the two during the most difficult times.

Time has a way of leading you down different paths, and Eleanor and Greyson began to drift apart. Both looked upon those special moments from their past with fond adoration. With years gone in the blink of an eye, Ellie and Grey will one day find their paths crossing once more. Now it’s Greyson’s turn to need a shoulder to carry him through the darkest times.

After losing his wife, Greyson finds the despair and heartache more than he can bear. With two daughters to lead through the tragedy overshadowing their lives, Greyson sets out on a quest to find a nanny to handle running his home. With the memories of that night overshadowing all else, Greyson is determined to spend as little time as possible at the family home. While Ellie is facing the loss of her long term nanny position, she has a lead on a job of a lifetime. Nothing could have prepared Ellie for running into Grey after all of these years, but the biggest surprise was the loss of the young man that she once knew. Ellie knows it’s her turn to offer the support that Grey so desperate needs to come out on the other side.

Let me start by saying…..you definitely need to add this book to your collection! If you are a fan of Brittainy Cherry – then you know just how much emotion you can expect packed between the covers of one of Cherry’s novels. If you haven’t had the pleasure of enjoying such a talented writer, then now is the time you should dive into her writing!

Eleanor & Grey is a spectacular journey of loss, love and understanding through tragedy. The words written upon the pages will lead you on a bird’s eye view of just how important friendship can be during the darkest days. The realistic journey that Ellie and Grey embark upon will leave you with a love for the emotional musings of a very talented author. Their tale is one you will not forget, but it will hold a place in your heart for friendships of all shapes and forms. One thing I will say….I love EVERYTHING that Brittainy Cherry has ever written, and Eleanor and Grey is no exception!!
