When the dedication at the beginning of a book tugs so hard at your heart strings that it makes you tear up a little, I think that’s generally a pretty good sign that you’re in for a treat.

It’s pretty obvious that the author has some personal experience with the subject matter in this book. It’s written beautifully, and from the heart. It never feels fake or forced or overly dramatic.

Colton was a rich and vibrant character. Even though the book was a relatively short read, we got to know him well and get an inside peek into his life. His condition wasn't romanticized. It was pretty clear, even at the end of the book, that Lilly Grace and Colton would always have their struggles but that it would be worth it. Although Colton didn't communicate his feeling in the traditional way, he has his own way of making his feelings clear.

Lilly Grace was an extraordinary character. She was such a strong and lively person. She tried hard with Colton, to get to know his quirks and the right way of going about things so that they could make a life together. She knew it wasn't going to be easy but she stuck with it because she loved him for exactly who he was, and I absolutely adored her all the way through for it.

Lilly & Coltons story was written in such a way that you couldn't help but be dragged into it even from the first page. After purchasing this book I thought I would have a quick peek before doing a few jobs then getting back into it in the evening. Uh, no. That’s not what happened at all. Amber L. Johnson's writing sucked me in immediately. The world faded away and by the time I read the last page and looked up from my Kindle I realized it was evening and I was sitting in a dark room with an uncooked dinner sitting on the bench. Needless to say the family had to survive off takeaways for dinner that night. Warning – if you’re going to read this book make sure you have 3 or 4 spare hours ahead of you. You're going to need it.

“It begins with a boy”

Don’t all good romance stories? This is one of my all-time favorite books and I’m champing at the bit waiting for the sequel, A MILLION DROPS OF RAIN. This is a unique kind of love story and certainly not the only one I’ve read about a character having an unusual condition (which you have to read and find out for yourself) that not only adds complications to a relationship, but makes for an unconventional romance. LILLY (18) first met COLTON (17) when they were little, and after being separated for awhile, life throws them back together again their senior year in high school. It’s a relationship that shouldn’t work at all, but they are definitely simpatico on a subliminal level that makes their friendship turned romance both challenging and uniquely rewarding. Best of all, she never considers his limitations an impediment to their relationship. He thinks outside the box and has trouble communicating, but she’s right there beside him all the way. That’s not to say there aren’t some dicey bumps in the road, but half the fun and charm is how they navigate and get past those bumps. I don’t want to give more than this away so that you can experience it fresh as it was meant to be.

This romance is nothing short of beautiful and inspiring. Call it YA if you want, but the messaging and maturity in this book speak volumes to everyone, regardless of age. SO MUCH LOVE FOR THIS BOOK
I've read too many books. Like, it's a wonder I still have my sight. What's worse, the majority of my books have been romance centered. This makes it very, very, very hard for me to find something that still takes my breath away, to still find a sort of love in a book that I've never encountered before. But I found it in this book.

I think it was the balance. Puddle Jumping had just the right amount of pain and sweetness. It was impossible for my emotions to become complacent with the relationship between the two characters. No sooner did Colton commit what seemed like a relationship-ending action, or lack of action, he would have a single line or a single gift that made it all better. It was absolutely profound how much control the author had over making me feel certain things in this book in that regard.

Lilly's voice was perfect for this novel. First, it was solely in first-person view, which is completely underrated in today's books. Sometimes, I like the mystery of not knowing what other characters are thinking, especially the thoughts of the love interest. I also truly appreciated how much of a girl Lilly was. Better yet, she wasn't a perfect girl. She got stupid jealous, she was awkward, and she was funny. None of those traits had to be "told" either. She was funny because she actually made me laugh. Her attitude and youth really lightened the novel when it could have been more than a little tragic.

Overall, I obviously loved this book. Colton was an extremely interesting character. I didn't know much about his condition before going into it, but the author really played out his struggles and wins perfectly. She made him so real. His character alone is an accomplishment that makes this book worth reading.
