WTRBlog's REVIEW:
OUT OF REACH by Missy Johnson
5 (+ more) OUT OF 5 STARS
I am just touched and full of emotions after reading this story. I've never cried so much in one read than this one, and I'm talking about almost every one of the 39 chapters plus epilogue! It will really makes you want to hug and tell the ones you love just how much!
Missy Johnson remains on my top favorite author list and this read is one reason why. Trust me you have to read this one.
It's about three long time best friends whom one of them, Andy, is dying of Cancer and he wants to live out his last days by completing his wishes, a bucket list, thru his best friend and girlfriend. We find out that by doing this, it is his way of bring his two best friends together. That happens to be his final item on his list, to assure that his girlfriend, Emily, is looked after and continues to be loved, and his best friend Seth is who Andy wants in her life. Andy has know for a long time that his best friend, Seth, and girlfriend have had feelings for each other but neither of them knew about it. As Andy's last days of his life come to an end, he tries everything to make his wish come true.
Will Seth and Em realize that deep down they have been in love with each other ? Will the guilt of Andy, even though he gave them his blessings, be to much for Em and Seth that they are torn apart as friends or to even get as far as a couple? This heart felt, strong emotional love story is one not to miss. I'm so glad I was given the opportunity to review this.
My best friend was dying and I was in love with his girl.
Andy and I had been best friends since we were eight-years old.
Andy and I had been best friends since we were eight-years old.
Watching him slowly fade away, ever closer to his final breath, made me so incredibly angry. I knew there was nothing I could do to change it--I had given in to despair, but Andy had not. He had one last hand to play.
He wasn't going to simply sit back and wait for Death to claim him--not Andy. He was going to live life until he couldn't hold his eyes open any longer.
Andy didn't want to die in some sterile hospital and asked me to take him and Emily to the beach. It would be our last road trip together.
Emily. Emily was a problem for me.
I harbored a secret that would have torn our friendship apart. I was in love with Andy's girl, and had been since she'd walked into our sixth grade class, so many years ago.
So what kind of person am I? My best friend is dying, and it's awful--but my heart still aches for his girl. I hate myself for thinking beyond Andy's death and whether there could ever be a future for Emily and I, but I can't help it.
I'm in love with her.
