Summary

For the first eighteen years of my life, I saw him everyday. Logan–my father’s best friend. He was an honorary uncle. When I was five, I said I was going to marry him. Everyone thought it was cute. The pictures from our wedding were in my graduation slideshow. But the older I got the less people believed when I said I would marry him someday. It became inappropriate. After I graduated high school, everything changed. I moved away to college, and he moved to the beach three hours south. I didn’t see him every single day. Hell, I’ve only seen him five or six times in six years. I thought about him constantly though. Not wanting to bombard him with daily texts, I kept a diary, just for him. There’s nothing spectacular in it, just simple life things, like the time I finally parallel parked on the crowded street in one go, or the time I got locked in the library because I fell asleep in one of the private study rooms and had to call security to get me out. A million little moments I wanted him to know, that I would have shared with him. When my dad retired, and decided to spend the summer with Logan, they invited me with them, and my mom and my little brother. I hated my job, and my lease was up, so why the hell not? A summer at the beach with no real expenses? Count me in. What I didn’t know was that it would be the summer that changed everything.

Blurb:

Cora’s point of view

For the first eighteen years of my life, I saw him everyday. Logan–my father’s best friend. He was an honorary uncle. When I was five, I said I was going to marry him. Everyone thought it was cute. The pictures from our wedding were in my graduation slideshow.

But the older I got the less people believed when I said I would marry him someday. It became inappropriate.

After I graduated high school, everything changed. I moved away to college, and he moved to the beach three hours south.

I didn’t see him every single day. Hell, I’ve only seen him five or six times in six years.

I thought about him constantly though. Not wanting to bombard him with daily texts, I kept a diary, just for him. There’s nothing spectacular in it, just simple life things, like the time I finally parallel parked on the crowded street in one go, or the time I got locked in the library because I fell asleep in one of the private study rooms and had to call security to get me out.

A million little moments I wanted him to know, that I would have shared with him.

When my dad retired, and decided to spend the summer with Logan, they invited me with them, and my mom and my little brother. I hated my job, and my lease was up, so why the hell not? A summer at the beach with no real expenses? Count me in.

What I didn’t know was that it would be the summer that changed everything.

Gallandro7: I originally added this because it looked interesting and I was curious how the mate process would go. I almost removed it due to several other books ahead of it, but I took an afternoon and read the entire thing in one go.I was pleasantly surprised at how well the book was crafted and that the mate...

Silver's Second Chance

Ashley: I enjoyed the story. It was a short one so the fast pace fit. I think something should be put in to show a time jump between paragraphs like a "****" just to make it easier to follow when we skip to the next day week or month. Over all a good read.

Kimberly: It's nice to have a great book that you can simply melt into. There's a touch of drama but not so much that it's jarring. There's a touch of spice but not so much that you'd be ashamed at recommending it to your mother. The characters have you both chuckling and rolling your eyes at the same time. ...
