Book Description:
Late one night Nicki Johnson plays with emotional fire and Googles her high school love, only to find his name splashed across the British gossip columns. Back in his native England, Adam Kincaid is successful and dating a woman from an aristocratic family like his own.
With a career in politics, Nicki’s no slouch, but she knows Adam is living a world away from her life. Yet there was a time he was no farther than the next locker.
Nicki will never forget their year together in high school—the year of her sister’s death, the year her mother checked out.
Adam helped Nicki through suffocating grief, and she led him through a coming of age.
Was it just high school, or was it something more?

My Review
5 of 5 First True Love
Beside Your Heart is such an AMAZING read! I have never read a story that brought me to tears one minute and then laughter another. I mean Mary has such a way with words and descriptions that I wanted more no I needed more and I could not put this book down. I was supposed to be doing a research paper when I read this book and I put it down so I could read.

Looking forward to reading this book and finding out if they end up getting together somehow.
I have always loved that phrase- "The heart wants what the heart want" Funny that you craved the book so much, you put it over a paper. I hope you were able to finish the paper!LOL
