In love with a man on the brinks of greatness, Dee has her life figured out. The love they share is comparable only to the love they feel when they find out Dee is pregnant. Josh and Dee welcome their future together with eagerness as they plan a wedding, baby, and the upcoming tour for Josh’s band Wasted Circle. Big things are finally happening.
During Wasted Circle’s first big show, tragedy strikes leaving Dee alone. The life she and Josh planned for ends up being nothing but desolate promises. Unable to watch his best friend’s girlfriend drown under her own despair any longer, Adam steps in to help Dee cope with her loss and the upcoming birth of her baby. Adam is patient, kind and unrelenting. He stands by her side, never faltering despite his growing desire to be more than Dee’s supportive shoulder and the idea that he is betraying Josh. He refuses to give up on Dee and remains loyally by her side even when she admits herself into a psychiatric ward and he is left to father Josh and Dee’s baby.
But even sweet and sturdy Adam has his limits.

Review by Natasha Gentile
I’m going to be honest this blurb
caught me right from the get go. I was
excited to start this book. It
starts off with the bang within the first couple of pages.
You meet Dee who is in love,
wholeheartedly, with Josh, and they are having a baby. They have everything they have ever wanted in
each other. No one knows that she is
with child. Except for Adam. Adam, my man Adam, he’s best friends with
Josh, they started the band Wasted Circle together. He would give his life for Josh, no questions
asked.
Adam, sweet sturdy Adam with his light brown hair and
natural highlights that I like to tease him about, slaps Josh on the back. Josh sets me downs o their bromance can go
one step further with a congratulatory hug.
I don’t know why he’s congratulating Josh, because I’m the real winner
her. Adam’s light green eyes stay on me
for a moment before he hugs and spins me around until I feel dizzy.
When tragedy strikes both Dee and
Adam, their world is shaken to their core.
Unable to stand by and watch Dee wither away like a broken rose, he
steps in and decides he will help Dee raise this baby.
Adam is patient, kind and unrelenting. He stands by her
side, never faltering despite his growing desire to be more than Dee’s
supportive shoulder and the idea that he is betraying Josh.
No matter how much help Adam
gives her, she just can’t get over he loss of her love; she plasters smiles on
her face, she pretends she is happy, but inside she is dead. She is a shell of her former self. And the kicker is no one, but no one knows.
There are five stages of grief: denial, anger,
bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
It looks as though I have bypassed all the stages and plummeted myself
straight into depression. And guilt.
They left that off the list.
What does one do when she
holds her child for the first time in her life and looks into the eyes of
innocence? She realizes she needs
help. She wants better for herself, she
deserves better, she will be a good mom, she is determined to not be the mother she
had. So she does the only thing she
knows how. She goes to get help, leaving
her baby with the only person that she can count on, Adam.
Oh my dear Adam, you are a
freaking saint. Not only do you step in
and try to help her, you take care and nurture their precious gift, putting
that child before anyone and anything.
YOU ARE THE EPITOMY OF A BEST FRIEND.
He refuses to
give up on Dee and remains loyally by her side even when she admits herself
into a psychiatric ward and he is left to father Josh and Dee’s baby.
But how much can he
pretend? How does one tell someone that
the love he feels isn’t that of a best friend, but of that the love of a
lover? Can he be expected to wait forever for something that doesn't seem like it will ever happen? And when he moves on, where does that leave Dee?
