Summary
How do you let go of the past when your dreams of the future are shattered
When Grey and Ben fell in love at thirteen, they believed they'd be together forever. They never dreamed that three days before their wedding, twenty-year-old Ben would suddenly die from an unknown heart condition, destroying his would-be-bride's world. Grey would have spent the next two years simply going through the motions if it hadn't been for their best friend, Jagger. He's the only one who understands her pain . . . the only one who knows what it's like to force yourself to keep moving when your dreams are shattered.
While everyone else worries over Grey's fragility, Jagger is the only one who sees her strength, and vows to always be there for her--even if it's only as her best friend. As much as he wants Grey, he knows her heart will always be with Ben. But when Grey finds out that Jagger has loved her since before he even knew what love was, it might prove to be too much for her to handle.
Grey soon realizes that their chemistry is undeniable and that admitting their feelings for each other means they've got to face the past. Is being together what Ben would have wanted . . . or a betrayal of his memory that will eventually destroy them both

Booklist Review
Best-selling McAdams (Deceiving Lies, 2014) tugs on readers' heartstrings yet again in this emotional novel, the first in a new series. Days before her wedding, Grey receives a devastating phone call. Ben, the love of her life, is gone, taken from her by an undiagnosed heart condition. Fast-forward two years, and Grey is still healing. Jagger is the only one who understands he was Ben's best friend, and he and Grey have known each other since they were kids. Jagger has always loved Grey, but he continues to hide his true feelings, convinced she will never love him back. When Grey finally realizes that Jagger is more than just her best friend, she doesn't know how to cope. Is she betraying Ben by giving into her feelings for Jagger? As the two explore their newfound love, they not only face backlash from disapproving family and friends, they are also haunted by their memories of Ben. Grey and Jagger must face their demons together or risk losing everything. Full of psychological nuance and thoughtful romance, McAdams' latest is powerful.--Smith, Patricia Copyright 2014 Booklist
