BLURB:
Emma Harris is learning that life is just a series of lessons. Lesson #1: Nothing goes the way you plan. Lesson #2: You can’t trust men. Especially not the pretty ones. Lesson #3: Turns out, appearances are almost always deceiving.
Emma thinks she has life all figured out, and what she knows isn’t good. For years, she’s put her big sister, who was born with Down syndrome, first. Now Emma’s ready to start her own life, but fate has other plans. To do the right thing for the sister she loves, Emma’s dreams will just have to wait.
She doesn’t plan on meeting Landon — a rich, flirtatious jock, who never has to wait for anything. Not for attention, not for money, and certainly not for girls. Meeting Emma marks the first time in his life that he’s had to fight for something. And Landon doesn't know how to lose.
Emma has no interest in wasting her summer with a superficial guy like Landon. But very soon she realizes she is wrong about him. The question is, can she trust him? Or will he let her down like every other guy in her life? But most importantly, can Emma trust herself enough to live the life she's always dreamed of?
Life has a way of sneaking in the most important lessons when you aren't looking. And once the heart gets involved, that's when the real learning begins.

Review:
This story is so touching and heartwarming. It is written in such a way that makes you feel a part of the story and you feel the angst that Emma feels. I was so shocked and surprised at the turn of events in this book. It was not something that I thought was predictable.
The love that Emma has for her mother and sister is both endearing and sweet. It also covers another topic of mental disabilities that most books don't touch on. It was written with class and shows that everyone is a person and should be treated as such.
Landon... what can I say. I love him and I love how you can see him change throughout the book and become a man and realize what he wants and how to go about getting it.
This a true story of love, boundaries, disappointment, and overcoming obstacles.
