It was such a wonderful story. Honestly, it was so sweet and then the heartbreak. I knew it wasn’t going to be happily ever after about half way.
I was sad when they broke up but I was utterly devastated with Parker died. I knew his parents were going to hurt him worse than anything.
I cried while Noah reading Parker’s letter and his finale visit to his grave.
I hope to learn that Noah is okay. I know he will never forget Parker but still. I felt that it just ended and I wish for more closure a bit.
But that’s life, I guess. I am still going to read the second book but thank you for making me ugly cry.

At first, I thought this book and the story was cheesy and I was giggling through the reading experience. But, as soon as I deep dive into the story more and more, the doubt of Noah of coming out to his parents and how they would react, I can feel it.
But, it turned out to be all okay. I love Noah's parents so much. But, on the other side... for Parker, wasn't that easy. To have such outdated, conservative, homophobic family... I can feel him, too. It's stressful enough for him and it was really really draining.
In the reading process... I often stop, then continue. Stop, then continue. I just wanted to finish this amazing book. But, I know this is the most draining out of the three Jordon's books I've read before. It turned out to be all sad and devestated.
It's surely has a devestated ending, but... one thing I know... I will keep Parker Lee Evans inside my heart. I will never forget him. If he's Noah's mark on his soul, it means... Parker was also a mark on my soul.
Thank you, Jordon for this beautiful devestating story and Parker, thank you for existed. I will forever remember and cherish your life and legacy. You are loved, Park. Remember that. Many people support you.
