Contemporary Romance
First love. . . forever love.
Sixteen-year old Gabby Hayden wasn’t the kind of
girl who gave a hoot about boys. She had a few real loves. Water-skiing, going
out on Smith Mountain Lake with her dad and her dog. Anything else ranked a
distant second. Until the summer smart, caring, gorgeous Sam Tatum gave her his
heart. It had been the most wonderful time of her life, lazy days hanging out
at the dock, skinny-dipping at midnight, staring up at the stars from the back
of Sam’s truck.
They are planning their future together when
Sam’s father is transferred to South Africa. Devastated, Gabby and Sam promise
to wait for each other during the two years before he returns for college. But
lonely and angry, Sam makes a mistake that will change the course of both their
lives.
Years later, an unexpected diagnosis brings Sam
home to his parents’ house on Smith Mountain Lake where he believes he can find
peace and acceptance. What he finds, however, is the girl he once loved, now a
woman unwilling to lose him again, a woman who will make him realize that both
love and life are worth fighting for.
What we thought about this story?
I never expected a story full of “action” – and this is not what you can expect(which I don’t mean in a negative way).
I love Inglath Cooper’s writing style! The way she has chosen her words is beautiful! It’s not over the top, not too cheesy, but also not to objective. In combination with the awesome characters, it was fun to travel through the story of Sam and Gabby.
There are not many authors who are able to write a book of such length without adding at the same time not too much and not too less “information” to the story while giving just some tiny hints about something that will happen later.
I often have read books with huge plot twists or an “overseized” story which gets squeezed into a book half as long as this one. This was not the case with this one!

date, what I’d thought to be a normal one, except for the fact that he was
quieter than usual. No joking. No smiles. It was July, and we’d gone out on his
parents’ boat, found a cove to skinny dip in, and then lay on the
bow staring up at the stars.
