review 1: Me After You is one of the most heartbreaking stories I've read in awhile. Obviously from the synopsis you are aware its a tale of loss. The story takes place in the present as well as the past something I rather enjoy in my books. Sawyer left Willowhaven 5 years ago after the love of her life (who cares she was only 18 when she left some people find their soul mate early) told her he no longer loved her and was leaving for good. She vowed never to return but after the brutal loss of her husband, Grayson, she returns to pick up the pieces somehow. She moves back in with her parents and attempts to mourn/grieve her husband poor thing is DESTROYED. Sawyers depression was so beautifully written, there were times where I would feel the heaviness of what she was dealing with ... moreand had to put my kindle down to give myself a reality check. Slowly her best friend Alix brings Sawyer out of her shell. And thank god for Alix because she really helped the story along. As Sawyer comes out of her shell she ventures out of her room and the house even. What she didnt expect was to run into Dean, the love of her life. He broker her heart when he left he made damn sure no one could find out where he went. Dean returned after a few years only to find out Sawyer moved to Seattle. He painfully moves on and begins dating one of Sawyers best friends, Lily. He also opens up a motorcycle repair shop and does pretty well for him. Hes content with the life hes leading but when he sees Sawyer the old feelings pop up, not that ever left. His mission through out most of the book is to get Sawyer to talk to him again. He knows hes fecked up. You cant help but root them on. Watching their pasts and knowing how good they were for each other was sweet and gave soo much to the story. I personally dont live in a world where one sitting reading is an option between my A.D.D and three kids im lucky if I get an hour at a time, Id like to think if it were possible I wouldve read Me After You in one sitting. It's DAMN GOOD!
review 2: Excerpts (I sorta picked a lot.. I couldn't help myself.): Some lovey and some heart-breaking just to see how amazingly written this book truly is"Remembering is the worst part. There's a brief moment between sleeping and waking where Grayson lives. In those few perfect moments, he's not gone. He's alive, and he's sleeping peacefully next to me." (Kindle Loc: 1081)"I'll be okay. At least that's what I've been telling myself, but I'm still waiting for the day I will feel okay. I don't know how to fix me. I'm stuck in a whirlpool of misery that fights to drag me under, and I can't get out." (Kindle Loc: 1346)"Loving Dean is like fireworks when it's not the Fourth of July. It's the sudden and explosive and it scares the crap out of me." (Kindle Loc: 2520)"It's there in his green eyes, everything I know that is reflected back from mine. I love him. I don't say it, and neither does he, but we know. It's as if we want to savor the moment, the moment we first realize we're falling... and falling hard. I shift down his body, hovering over him, and lean in to kiss his mouth. He breaths my name before our lips mee. All I say is, "I know." Because I do. Anyone can say it, but knowing that it's true is what makes it real." (Kindle Loc: 2836)"I've never stopped loving you, and I didn't want you to pull further away from me just when I was getting you back. I don't know how to not love you." (Kindle Loc: 3192)"Let me fill the crack. Let me make you whole." (Kindle Loc: 3765)Gahhhh! Some of those make me feel what they were feeling while I was reading! LOVE this book! Now onto my review...Review: This book.. Wow! Just wow. This had so many feels I can't even count them. The book made me feel like I was there experiencing it firsthand. I was a sobbing mess at times, others times smiling and other times I was yelling at both Sawyer and Dean to DO something about their situation. I can't even begin to describe how amazingly written and lyrical I found Me After You was. Hayes wrote an awesome and heartfelt novel.In the beginning Sawyer is heartbroken with the loss of her husband. Andddd I'm pretty sure I was crying by the third page. ;) Throughout the book we get to see her come to terms with his passing, we watch her fall in love all over again with her first love. It was truly an epic and beautiful story. I LOVE this book! I can't recommend it enough!I can't WAIT to read more from her! Seriously pick this book up NOW! You will not regret it! 5 awesome, beautiful stars! ABSOLUTELY loved this book! less
