Publisher's Summary

From USA Today best-selling Author Aly Martinez comes an emotional new standalone. 

Growing up, Ramsey Stewart branded my soul in ways time could never heal. 

At 12, he asked me to be his girlfriend. 

At 13, he gave me my first kiss. 

By 16, we’d fallen in love, planned a future together, and had our eyes set on the horizon. 

Love never fails, right? 

But for Ramsey, it did. 

Love failed him. 

I failed him. 

The entire world failed him. 

At 17, Ramsey was convicted of killing the boy who assaulted me. 

"Move on", he wrote in his first and only letter from prison. 

"Start a new life", he urged. 

"I don’t love you anymore", he lied. 

There was no such thing as giving up on Ramsey. Love may have been our curse, but he was mine - then, now, and forever. 

So here I am, 12 long years later, waiting for a man I don't even know to emerge from between the chain link gates.

heavy but another great listen

Not for everyday but as with all Aly Martinez books ... really well done.
A heavy topic with much of the story occurring when they were kids and teens... the surprise twist near the end was pretty annoying as it had already been a tough listen. Quick resolution to all angst about 30min from the end.
The narration was ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. JC was excellent as always.

Very enjoyable....

I enjoyed the storyline of this book, and how it centered around the tree, and the countdown of time.....
