Synopsis: “Quint and Annie sitting in a tree…K.I.S.S.I.N.G.” Quint Lawson and Annie Weber heard that childhood song over and over and it never bothered them. Even though Quint was only five, Annie wasn’t just his neighbor. She would become his best friend and the love of his life. Annie wasn’t interested in dolls, or girly things when growing up. A tomboy at heart, having a boy as a best friend suited her just fine. That same boy captured her heart. Quint had two passions, his girl and baseball. From kindergarten to college, Quint tore up every baseball diamond he played on. His position was shortstop. His talent was undeniable. Professional ball was most definitely in his future, and he was ready for it. Annie would be right by his side. When everything in life is perfect, it’s hard to imagine heartbreak in any form. Quint wasn’t immune to its power. This shortstop had no idea what any form of heartbreak could do to his perfect world. When it hit, there were many casualties left in its wake…the most important one was Annie. Can a person be prepared for, understand, or even endure a misfortune if they’ve never experienced one before? In Quint Lawson’s case the answer is no. Review I have read all of AM Madden’s books so naturally it was a given that this would be one that I couldn’t wait to get my hands on. This book was so damn emotional and took me on a roller coaster ride that I wasn’t quite ready for. Annie and Quint have been neighbors and best friends since the age of 5. They shared a first kiss, and eventually were each others first love. They were the perfect couple with a bright future ahead of them. Annie was so supportive of all of Quints dreams even at the expense of her own. She was so selfless and always tried to see the good of ever situation. She gladly would give up her own future as long as Quint was part of it. There was a point that I was hoping that she would wake up and take care of her own needs. At the beginning, Quint was so loving, caring, & attentive to Annie’s needs. Every decision in their life was mutually made. He was the perfect boyfriend/ until a terrible accident happens. I went from loving Quint to hating the person he had became. He was so hateful and rude towards Annie that many times I had to stop and put the book down. Quint broke my heart with the ugly person he had turned into and the way he treated her. I did not agree with his choice and what he did to her in order to drive her away. AM Madden shattered my heart with this book. I was literally hyperventilating at times because this book brought so many unwanted emotions! (You will understand when you read it!) Luckily I had a paperback because I guarantee you that I probably would have thrown my Kindle/iPad across the room. Just like AM Madden shattered my heart in a million pieces, she was able to put my broken heart at ease. I loved that this was written in dual POV and loved the majority of the secondary characters and hope that AM Madden writes a spin off. I absolutely loved everything about this book and highly recommend it. (Even the heartbreak!) Bonus points because the Yankees are my favorite baseball team! ⚾️⚾️⚾️ ❋ I may have threatened to send AM Madden a woodpecker after the unexpected emotional roller coaster ride she took me on!
