She drove across the country by herself, we know she's endured trauma, but she tends to be optimistic and to always look for the bright side of things. Not only was Kate a wonderful character, but there were a slue of other amazing characters in this book.

Soon Katie finds herself falling for Keller; and as much as she tries to keep it platonic between them he still breaks through her walls and gains entrance to her heart. I started crying during the last half, sobbed my way through the final chapters, but somehow I ended the book with a smile.

You know the world would be a bright better place if we had more Kate's and Katie's in the world, LOL sorry that's my name isn't it? Playing together they were magical but Kate’s fortitude lay behind the scenes and while she played on a couple of their tracks she never sought any recognition. I’ve been listening to some songs on this playlist, because I just couldn’t let these characters go. I would include every song by The 1975 on this playlist if I could because they’re like children – hard to pick a favorite. After I finished the book I was dying to listen to Rook, especially the song Gus and Kate sing together.

Kate has a best friend named Gus, who is a rock star, who loves her, but doesn't say shit, because she deserves someone better.

Gus is touring with his band while Kate is living her college/life journey but he is still a huge part of her life and the book.and thank you for sharing your music with us too – this playlist certainly allow us all to carry the story with through the music. Shes an intensely powerful, brave strong girl who captures everyone's heart , her purity of soul and generous spirit spellbinds everyone who she touches. It's about living it to the fullest and not taking it for granted because life could easily take an unexpected turn.

Hendrik has invested time and effort in his friendships and when they’re under threat, it affects him deeply. But without the help and love of her best friend Gus and his mother, Kate wouldn’t be the woman she is, they insured that both Grace and Kate knew what it was to be loved unconditionally. Kate will sweep you off your feel, she will pull you along with her on her journey to the inevitable but she will have you laughing with her all the way.I don’t have a personal experience in the subject matter so I don’t know how I would cope being at either side of the story, but I know for sure it requires a lot of strength for all involved. But I love that this book also made me smile so big, made me laugh, and genuinely made me happy and look at life in a different light.

Now that I’ve finished it, the first thing that popped up in my mind was well, that wasn’t what I expected. Like the sun rising each morning she brought light into the lives of those around her and made sure that they knew she loved them all. Gus was the lead singer of Rook, a group at the brink of greatness and Kate knew it was his time to make his dreams come true. From international bestselling author KIM HOLDEN comes an inspiring, life-changing story about the power of love in all its forms, having the courage to live life to the fullest, and always looking on the bright side. however… yes, it elicits strong feelings, but that is simply because the book’s characters become real people, their experiences became mine, their pain became my own and I couldn’t help but drown in the emotions that the story evoked.Describes a book or dust jacket that does show some signs of wear on either the binding, dust jacket or pages. All I could do was listen to Switchfoot (they’re from California too) ’cause I needed something to remind me of Kate so bad. Sorry for the choppy review, I just finished the book 10 minutes ago, and had to get all my thoughts out before I forgot everything. He may be the wrong side of 85, but Hendrik Groen has no intention of slowing up – or going down without a fight.
