Grey and Ben had been together since they were thirteen.
They both knew that when they were older, they would get
married. Their best friend was Jagger. They did
everything together. Little did they know that Jagger also
had deep feelings for Grey.
The three of them even went to the same college together.
The day before Grey and Ben's wedding the unthinkable
happens. Ben has a heart attack and dies. Grey is
inconsolable. The only one that can get though to her is
Jagger.
Fast forward two years. It is the day of college
graduation. Jagger knows that this is going to be a very
hard day for Grey. No one else wants to even mention
Ben's
name on this day.
They both decide to move back to their home town.
Jagger
has his art, Grey not so sure what she wants to do with
her
life. Jagger and Grey spend so much time together that
before long they both realize that they want to be
together.
Grey is having a very hard time with this. She feels that
she is betraying Ben. And on top of all of this, someone
has hacked into Ben's facebook age and phone leaving
messages for Grey asking her how could she do this to
them.
I believe that Molly McAdams uses her writing to send a
message. The message in LETTING GO is that sometimes
things are
closer that you think. I have read several of Molly
McAdams books and I believe they are new
adult books. Molly McAdams writes flawed characters and
this makes it easy for the reader to believe that they
could be real and keeps readers turning pages until the
end of the book.
SUMMARY
The New York Times and USA Today bestselling New Adult
author returns with a sizzling novel of love, loss, guilt,
and forgiveness. Grey and Ben fell in love at thirteen and believed they’d
be together forever. But three days before their wedding,
the twenty-year-old groom-to-be suddenly died from an
unknown heart condition, destroying his would-be-bride’s
world. If it hadn’t been for their best friend, Jagger,
Grey never would have made it through those last two years
to graduation. He’s the only one who understands her pain,
the only one who knows what it’s like to force yourself to
keep moving when your dreams are shattered. Jagger swears
he’ll always be there for her, but no one has ever been
able to hold on to him. He’s not the kind of guy to settle
down. It’s true that no one has ever been able to keep Jagger—
because he’s only ever belonged to Grey. While everyone
else worries over Grey’s fragility, he’s the only one who
sees her strength. Yet as much as he wants Grey, he knows
her heart will always be with Ben. Still they can’t deny
the heat that is growing between them—a passion that soon
becomes too hot to handle. But admitting their feelings
for each other means they’ve got to face the past. Is
being together what Ben would have wanted . . . or a
betrayal of his memory that will eventually destroy them
both?
