From the back of the book- The finish line is only the beginning.…
Annie hates running. No matter how far she jogs, she can't escape the guilt that if she hadn't broken up with Kyle, he might still be alive. So to honor his memory, she starts preparing for the marathon he intended to race.
But the training is even more grueling than Annie could have imagined. Despite her coaching, she's at war with her body, her mind-and her heart. With every mile that athletic Jeremiah cheers her on, she grows more conflicted. She wants to run into his arms...and sprint in the opposite direction. For Annie, opening up to love again may be even more of a challenge than crossing the finish line.
Review- A very moving story about love, loss, and realizing it is okay to move on with your life. Annie's boyfriend died in a car accident one year ago and she is deep into mourning. But she wants to do something to honor his life and he was training to run a marathon, so she signs up to run it for him. We get a very moving story about grief, love, and learning to live again after a horrible loss. I liked all the characters in this book, Annie was very believable with her grief, Jeremiah is so sweet and really in love with her, so he is not pushy at all. I liked how well, I felt, Annie's grief was shown. When she realizes that she likes Jeremiah, she feels that she is betraying Kyle and beats herself up over it. But she learns and grows over the course of the story and I really like who she is at the end. It is a very hopeful story about grief and I found it very moving.
I give this novel a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I borrowed this book from my local library.
