Well written and can’t put it down!
This was a wonderful read! It was well written, at various parts of the book, I felt the character’s pain as if I were there witnessing; very emotional at times. This is the story about Chandry and Justin. They were sweetheart since the eight grade and were in love. On their junior year, Justin leaves for Chicago with his mom and promises to call & write. He never did and that left Chandry broken hearted. Not only was Justin her first love and lover, he had left her pregnant. She miscarries the baby & was told she couldn’t have any more kids. Not only did she lose Justin, she lost her baby & the hope of ever having children of her own. She was completely devastated. 15 years later, she is a pediatrician who does lots of volunteering with children, as a mean to compensate for the child she lost and for the children she wouldn’t have. One day during her rounds at the ER, a 14 year old boy comes in with his father, no other than Justin. Chandry acts professionally, but inside her anger & hurt are resurfacing after so many years carrying it. Justin is shocked to see her, but he knows he owes her an explanation. Chandry does not want one, she blamed him for everything bad that had happened to her. And it was fairly obvious why he never called her, he had replaced her with someone else while she was back home waiting for his calls.
Story is about second chances, finding forgiveness and true happiness. It was about overcoming differences, accepting each other and truly appreciating the love you have. It is about soul searching, realizing your mistakes and accepting responsibility. Wonderful read, went by quick!
