MY REVIEW
This book involves the relationship of Willow and Kennedy. The books goes back and forth between the present time and current time to tell their engaging love story. Willow and Kennedy have been best friends since elementary school, but Kennedy previously had a brain tumor when he was younger that was easily treated. Now at 18, Kennedy has terminal brain cancer and only has a few months to live.
Willow is leaving for college in Chicago as Kennedy does not want to watch him die. Their last night together, the two give themselves to each other, and Willow leaves for Chicago and Kennedy passes away.
After their passionate one night, Kennedy leaves something behind for Willow.
A daughter, Annette. For some reason, Willow has chosen not to reveal to her family and others that Kennedy is her daughter’s father.
As time passes on, Willow has become a nurse and raising her daughter when she meets school teacher, Wyatt. Wyatt is a patient at the hospital she works for after having his second heart attack as a result of a defective heart. Willow is able to start to open her heart to Wyatt.
Will Willow finally reveal to her family and to Kennedy’s family the truth that Kennedy is her daughter’s father? Will Willow be able to fully give her heart to Wyatt or will Wyatt’s heart condition be to much? You will have to read the book.
This book was truly a bittersweet read. The story is so acquiescently written and full of heart. Every page either left me with a smile or left me in tears. It truly was a bittersweet read. I give it four out of four “BLUE ROSES”. See rating system HERE!
