My rating: 5 of 5 stars
“Our love story was so much more than a romantic tale. Our story was about friendship. About family. About looking out for those who always looked out for you.”
This quote described Eleanor and Grey’s story better than anything. This story shows that all you need is love and time to mend the broken pieces of a person’s heart. This book is one of a kind and will stay with me for a long time to come.
Eleanor and Greyson first met when they were teenagers and Ellie was going through a tough phase of her life. I really loved how Grey was always there even when Ellie distanced herself from him, always helping her deal with her pain and heartache because he understood what she was feeling. I loved how resilient Grey was and how different he was from the characters we always read about. Even though he was popular and a star basketball player, he wasn’t self-absorbed or cocky. He was down-to-earth, patient, kind and lovable. On the other hand, Ellie was strong, introverted but still so cool. I loved how she related everything happening in her life to books and how obsessed she was with them. Being a book lover, I can completely understand her need to hide in a corner at a party to read. Ellie and Grey slowly developed their friendship which led to love that survived time and distance and loss.
Fast forward a few years, Ellie and Grey lost touch because of busy schedules and leading different lives. Ellie is now a nanny and Grey is the CEO of the company started by his grandfather. He is also a widower and has two kids, Karla and Lorelai. He lost his wife in a tragic accident which has made him cold and lonely. They met again after Ellie interviewed for the position of his daughters’ nanny. Ellie is still the same vibrant girl who blabbers when she is nervous which makes her even more adorable. I loved the bonding Ellie had with Lorelai and Karla was as precious even though it took her a long time to warm up to Ellie. It hurt to see Greyson so closed-off from the world but it was understandable because of the guilt he felt. I loved how Ellie was always so patient with Greyson but also told him when he was wrong. I loved how she protected and defended Lorelai and Karla from bullies and helped Grey mend his relationship with his daughters. She was the glue mending all the cracks in their family.
To best describe Eleanor and Grey, “He was him, I was me, and we were us. This was us. This was our story.”
I also liked the supporting characters. Landon and Shay were hilarious and Claire was the mother that Greyson needed but never had. I just wish that Ellie’s relationship with her father could have been explored a little better in the second half but all in all, I loved it and would re-read it in a heartbeat.
