Youth- a time when we have a naive outlook of what life should be. We enter the world with a blindspot to heartbreak and rejection. In our minds eye we are invincible to all the negativity and can accomplish anything we set our minds to. A great viewpoint to have but does not always proved to be accurate and when the blinders are removed and reality intrudes into that bubble we've built it hurts a lot. Alone With You is an accurate depiction of the simplicity of young love and how maturity and life changes. It is a journey full of emotion that proves painful at times but Ms. Callahan gets straight to the heart. Jake and Claire through the process of getting older have to face growing apart and finding out who they are separately before they can find their way back to each other. I received a copy of Alone With You in exchange for an honest review. My first time reading this author and enjoyed every minute of it.
