William Waters grew up in an unloving home. The Padavano Family have always been close. So when Julia meets William in college the rest of the Padavano family invite him into the family with open arms. This story is filled with love, hate, betrayal and grief.
I love how the story came together. I love how it dealt with real life issues. Like depression, mental illness, death. I felt like some of the story that I read I was just not ready to read in this time of my life. I found it hard to read because I know someone that was going through this in their life. Even though their situation was different it was still a hard read for me....more
