From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jamie McGuire comes a riveting tale of first love that starts young but runs deep.
The first time Elliott Youngblood spots Catherine Calhoun, he’s just a boy with a camera, and he’s never seen a sadder and more beautiful sight. Both Elliott and Catherine feel like outcasts, yet they find an easy friendship with each other. But when Catherine needs him most, Elliott is forced to leave town.
Elliott finally returns, but he and Catherine are now different people. He’s a star high school athlete, and she spends all her free time working at her mother’s mysterious bed-and-breakfast. Catherine hasn’t forgiven Elliott for abandoning her, but he’s determined to win back her friendship…and her heart.
Just when Catherine is ready to fully trust Elliott, he becomes the prime suspect in a local tragedy. Despite the town’s growing suspicions, Catherine clings to her love for Elliott. But a devastating secret that Catherine has buried could destroy whatever chance of happiness they have left. FIVE BOUNDLESS STARS
The story of Elliot and Catherine isn’t your typical romance. A lot is going on, that as a reader we don’t fully grasp till the end. I loved Elliot and Catherine. They were two souls who were destined to meet. They needed each other more than they would have ever thought. Reading this I was wondering what the heck was going on, one moment in the story it clicked. But had to wait till the end. I’m not going to give it away in this review.. nope.. lips are sealed. I struggled in the way of how to rate this book. All the Little Lights was different, it had that undying love, but also there was a much darker aspect of it. I feel that McGuire did a fantastic job. The writing drew you in, and the story kept my interest. I didn’t have that emotional pull as much as I’d liked. But I can’t deny this is a Five Star Read. So, Overall, of course, Five Boundless Stars
