Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆
I am an emotional wreck after reading this book. Oh my gosh, tissue box at the ready for this ugly cry read. I am going to have a book hangover for quite some time I think.
I really want you to experience this book for yourself and experience the vast emotions of the characters. But for a taster, Jane is an aspiring writer with writer's block. She also works at a care home, which is mostly populated by older people but there is one young person resident, Sam. Sam has been dealt a rough hand and is there to recuperate from a life-crippling disease. Before Jane starts there, he has given up but when they meet, Sam finds a reason to get better whilst Jane finds her inspiration.
There budding relationship is beautiful to read as this is about looking beyond the surface to what is beneath and shows that love shows no bounds. Jennifer Ryder has weaved an incredibly emotive read but with such beauty and perfection in each and every word. It has been a long time since I felt this way about a book but this was such an incredible read and one that I feel is a must read.

Excerpt
I link my fingers
behind Sam’s neck. “He cares about you, Sam.”
“I’m tryin’ to move
forward, get somewhere, be somebody. I just feel like he’s holding me back.”
I look down at our
feet and back up to meet his frown. “You seem to be moving ahead just fine to
me.”
“I’m no ballroom
dancer.”
I press my lips
against his. I delight in a long-lasting kiss until Sam moans in the back of
his throat. Reluctantly, I pull back. “Then lucky for the both of us, because I
don’t want a dancer. I want you.”
The song finishes,
but we continue to sway, locked tight in each other’s arms. The young girl nods
to Shaun and walks offstage as a lady with wild ginger hair in a ruffled denim
dress and cowgirl boots takes her place. The woman, who looks to be in her
forties, adjusts the microphone to her height, and then plucks the strings of a
mandolin. Her voice crackles as she sings about writing a song, and her tears.
Sam’s arms stiffen
around me. “Of all the frickin’ songs, she picks this one by Willie Nelson?”
The lady continues
on about sad songs and waltzes. It’s kind of depressing. Ironic, really. I
shift my arms around Sam’s waist.
“I hate country
music,” he growls in my ear.
“The song’s not that
bad,” I lie.
Sam’s mouth moves to
my ear. The heat of his breath sends a flood of warmth to my lower belly. “I
just wanted this one moment. She’s killin’ me.”
I tighten my hold
around him. “Forget about her.”
Sam grinds his
teeth. “How can I? It’s all I can hear.”
“Then listen to me
instead.” I press one hand to the centre of his chest. “We made it, Sam. We
made it here to this very spot.”
A lazy smile curls
at his mouth. “Now’s not the time to make me weak at the knees, Janie.”
