My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars
This is a very emotional story. It gives you real life issues for teens and adults. Jake is a typical teenage boy who plays football, has a crush on a girl, hangs out with friends, and makes a really bad decision. After drinking at a party he and his friends decide to go see Samantha so Jake can tell her how he feels about her. Of course this decision ends in a tragic accident and Jake loses his vocal cords. His entire life as changed and he is devastated. This ruins his plans for the future and requires him to make some soul searching choices.
Samantha is the smartest girl in their school. She pushes herself to be the best and does this on her own since her mom is constantly working out of town. After the accident she and Jake begin to get close after taking several classes together. It is obvious they have feelings for each other but Sam is holding something back. When Jake starts shutting down and giving up Samantha finally shares her own personal problems. The reason she is wore out, loosing weight, and looking rough is because her had died several months ago and she is trying to make it on her own.
This isn't your typical boy meets girl, falls in love and lives happily ever after. There is a lot of heartache, a disability, and let's not forget your high school romance problems. However, Jake and Sam form a bond and realize that after all they have been through they just have to love each other and believe that is enough.
