Description


Skylar is a high school girl suffering from past tragedies. Her responsibilities and her grief keep her from moving forward in life, until two new people come to town and change everything. Skylar quickly befriends Trey and Victoria, but the closer she gets to them, the more secrets she realizes they're keeping. Tristan and Daevonny have escaped their war-torn country and are in hiding in America. It is imperative that they keep their identities a secret, but it's harder to blend in than they thought. Tristan is duty-bound to serve and protect Dev and has spent his life preparing for this future. Tristan has never questioned his place in the world, until now. Told from both Skylar and Tristan's point of view, Skylar is the story of love and loss and the effect it has on us. It tells of the bonds of friendship and the strength of growing together, and when faced with the hardships of life, the bravery that can be found in all of us.

Amazing! This book is amazing! I'm not an avid reader but I could not put this book down once I started reading it. It was so intriguing and relevant. I found myself feeling what the characters were feeling, having compassion for them, and laughing out loud several times as well. Amanda Dothe is a wonderful writer and I can't wait for her next book! I truly believe this book can give hope to anyone who may feel alone or who wants to know what true friendship is. So well done!
