“How am I supposed to keep going? Without seeing you every day? Without you?” “Don’t ask me to be the reason you give up everything.” Grab a box of tissues, lock yourself in your room and do yourself a favor.“I know.” I swallowed hard. I have read a lot of good books, but few have emotionally crippled me the way Loving Mr. To be cliché, Daniel and Ashlyn’s story is one for the ages.

I love you gently and hard, slow and fast. I love you quietly, I love you powerfully. Sometimes, I have whole pages that are bright yellow. I can’t remember highlighting so many passages in my Kindle at one time.

My heart was being broken and mended over and over in the four hours I spent with it. To say this book is emotional, or tugs at your heart is an understatement. I am not a crier, and I cried actual real tears three or four times in this book (once, so loudly, I woke my husband). They want the happy ending, they want each other. At every corner there are reasons staring them in the face to just give up. The road is not easy for them, in fact, it’s damn near impossible. They are two broken souls, whom together, can heal each other. Daniel and Ashlyn cannot fight the pull they have to each other, and risk their futures to be together. Sometimes, the obstacles are not stronger than the love two people feel, and that is the situation here. Regardless of how attracted they are to each other, given the circumstances, a relationship between the two of them cannot happen. Until a few days later, when Daniel finds her in the hallway outside her classroom. You can tell they are going to have one of those epic love stories…. He invites her to see his band play, she goes and they just hit it off. She meets Daniel on her way there, and they have that instant connection. Shortly, after, she moves away to live with her father, whom she has little interaction with her entire life. I want to give absolutely nothing away because you need to experience every beautiful, breathtaking word for the first time, but here is a brief summary.

That prologue!!! I was hooked! I had to keep going and before I knew it, it was after midnight and I had finished the entire book. The premise sounded too much like one of my absolute favorite books, and the short excerpt I read (where Daniel discovers that Ashlyn is his student) did nothing to dissuade me. To be honest, I wasn’t even sure I wanted to read it. I started this book at 8:30pm, just going to check out the beginning before going to sleep for the night. Wow! Just wow! I am not even sure that I have emotionally separated myself from this book yet to give it a proper review, but I have been left in such a book fog, that I am unable to move onto something new until I get all my thoughts out.
