Review
Bobby Bielecki goes home from art school where he is studying to help his adopted father and his partner run the family wine store so that his parents can take a vacation. What he did not realize was that he would come into contact with his once-best friend and first love, Kenny, who ended their relationship with the hope that Bobby would discover his true artistic talents. There is tension between them but they decide to try to work together and put their differences on hold. It seems a case of expensive wine has disappeared and when they investigate they find a young runaway and other people from Bobby's past and when the two see this; they realize how close they once had been. Bobby, however, is afraid that what happened the past might very well happen again and Kenny will push him away for good.
Here is a novel that is emotion packed and at times you feel as if your heart will just snap. What we get is a lot about family and forgiveness as well as a mystery, Grey gives us characters that are very real and he writes beautifully. At times, the book makes you hurt, but if you stay with it you will get a profoundly moving love story.
