This is a story about two people by the names of Elizabeth and Tristan who go through so much heartbreak.

This book made me feel all over but mostly i was heartbroken right along with them. It was cute and had some very sweet moments

I think the best part of the book was her best friend Faye. she brought a little light and laughter in this book that was surrounded by so much dark. She was hilarious and everyone needs a friend like Faye to get you through the dark days. and to put a smile on your ...more

This book brought out many different feelings for me, I could feel Tristan and Elizabeth's struggle to move forward, their hurt, and then wanting to give in and try again but always faltering. Some of the flashbacks are so difficult to read and my heart just broke while the tears flowed down my face. I loved Elizabeth's best friend Faye, one of the funniest parts of the book is a conversation surrounding why people shouldn't go out on windy days. Elizabeth's daughter Emma is so sweet, funny, and This book brought out many different feelings for me, I could feel Tristan and Elizabeth's struggle to move forward, their hurt, and then wanting to give in and try again but always faltering. Some of the flashbacks are so difficult to read and my heart just broke while the tears flowed down my face. I loved Elizabeth's best friend Faye, one of the funniest parts of the book is a conversation surrounding why people shouldn't go out on windy days. Elizabeth's daughter Emma is so sweet, funny, and a hand full at times. I love why she calls Tristan Tick and then how he starts to call her Tock. I got so angry with Tristan at one point when his actions not only hurt Elizabeth but also Emma. I cried everytime Zeus would comfort Tristan, nothing more beautiful how our pets show us unconditional love. My heart broke when Tristan was listening to a message from Jamie and he turned and looked at Elizabeth and said "Hold her tight each day and night, because nothing's promised to us. I just wished I would've held on tighter." I was so shocked by the actions of someone close to Elizabeth and the lengths he went to get what he wanted. There are many parts in this story where I openly sobbed and other parts where the tears slid slowly down my face. One of the parts where I was openly sobbing was when Emma said to Tristan "I thought you and Zeus were gone forever like daddy". Tristan says "I'm right here, buddy." Then she proceeds to say "Please don't leave us again." There is a part where we get to learn that Elizabeth and Tristan's family had met but then we also learn another tragic connection. There are parts in this book involving white feathers that is so beautiful. Tristan shows his love for both Elizabeth and Emma in a special way. Then to end this beautiful book is an epilogue five years later that could not be more perfect, especially when Tristan made the statement "It was quite obvious what she was to me, it was so clear why I always wanted her near. She was simply the air I breathed." ...more
