Interesting story once you buy in to the whole body switch thing. I did wish that we could have learned what the issues were that made Max such an ass. Plus why did the author have both a Max and a Matt out of about 5 characters? I know IRL these things happen but it just adds a layer of annoyance in a book to have to think for a second which character is on the page.

I really enjoyed this romance. If you can call crying for at least the last 45 minutes while I read enjoying. So, very angsty. Well written and flowed well. No slow spots. The whole relationship thing moved very fast and I think that my biggest problem with the story could have been solved if things had been given a little more time to play out. My biggest problem then was that I didn't care much for George, the living brother. I totally loved Ike and could really see the developing relationship between him and Charlotte. George though, when not being a bit of a loser dick was pretty much a nonentity. I'm not sure why Charlotte loved him. The author started out pretty well with him but basically gave up on any sort of characterization in the second half of the book that led me to develop any admiration or caring for him. But she kept telling me Charlotte loved him. I don't see how. Charlotte and Ike though? That relationship was fully developed and very sweet.

I will definitely be trying out more of this author's books.

I had read a blurb about this book...dying girl wanting to meet her father takes out a Craig's list ad, now who doesn't get drawn in by that. Will she get her wish? Why is dad not in her life? So many questions.

I won't comment on the happenings to Clara (mom), Neena (12 yr old girl), Marcus (the friend who's been Neena's substitute dad), or Paul (MIA daddy) but I will say this story will hit you straight in the center of your emotions. How does a parent even come close to being ready to say goodbye to their child? How do you not go overboard in wanting to protect them, heal them, make bargains with God? And guilt, so many forms of it, but to what avail...it won't change the outcome.

At the heart of it all it's about love. Love can make you fear with how strongly you can feel that for another. Love, when it's true, can last time and distance. Love can take strangers and make them a family.

If you are anything like me....have plenty of tissues on hand and be prepared for a couple of truly ugly cry moments. But at the end you have hope that everything will be alright and that those left behind will keep their promises.

The cheating is a kiss with another woman.

If I could use that one line from the story, my review is finished. I can't do in few short sentences the journey that Demi and Connor take as they navigate the new friendship. Author Toler takes you through an emotional journey of two broken grieving people. You feel each tear, you feel the conflict of not wanting to damage the memory of a beloved person. Their journey to HEA takes several unhappy twists. Many which could have had a very sad outcome. But Demi and Connor are strong individuals that make it through by carrying each other to the end.

The story is difficult and tragic. I couldn't relate as I have never had an experience so devastating. However, the grief that you carry -trying to honor the person that is left behind. And then finding out they may have cracks in the pedestal you put them on is heartbreaking. The story is told from Demi's POV. Since Connor is so closed off, his portion of story slowly unfolds all the hidden vulnerabilities he has. There was several side storylines going on so it slowed the reading pace for me as I wanted to concentrate on Connor and Demi.

This is a first time read from this author. I enjoyed the storyline development and style. BN Toler really gives you a detailed picture of the events unfolding even if the characters are aware. This is recommended read - 4.25 stars out of 5

This was an ok read for me - H living the way he lived for so long them just jumping into a normal life didn't seem be believable to me. I just didn't buy this story line.

This book was awesome!
There are great strong characters that go through some very challenging life situations.
I liked that when H does something foolish we really feel his regret. And h doesn’t make it easy for him, he need to earn her back.

I just finished Where One Goes by B.N. Toler and loved it. I'm not a fan of tearjerkers so I am a bit surprised by how much I enjoyed reading this book. My nose is stuffed up and I have a headache from crying but the story was totally worth it. Do NOT try to read this in public unless you don't mind total strangers watch you turn into a blubbering mess.
