Review
Love. Undying, unconditional, straight to the heart, and soul of your being LOVE. You know what I mean; you’ve all experienced it sometime in your life. That love that makes certain you can’t breathe without the other. Young love. Grayson and Lily have loved each other for so long but kept their relationship set at best friends. Until it becomes too much to deny their true feelings. This is a story about a very special couple and their turbulent lives at the end of high school. Well for Grayson, he graduates and Lily still has one more year left. Which of course just rips Grayson apart, knowing that he’ll have to leave Lily soon.
I first read Lindy Zart…no wait, that’s not right. I first experienced the extremely beautiful writings of Lindy Zart through her novel; Take Care, Sara. I was hooked with her beauty, with her grace that is present on every page. She truly knows how to capture emotion. She lays it out and strips you bear at the same time. It’s truly a wonder, and rare.
I rarely read new adult/young adult. That being said, I connected with this story so profoundly. I believe it’s because the situations that both Grayson and Lily are put in are so similar to my first love relationship. When you’re young, you just feel so immensly. Everything is so intense. I remember feeling that way with my first love. Just wanting to connect with him all the time, and not knowing what the future held. That’s the scary part about growing up, and Lindy Zart did such an amazing job expressing that. Grayson is on the precipice of the rest of his life. He is a talented singer/songwriter and Lily wants the best for him; bottom line. They both end up making sacrifices and I can only hope that it is all for the best.
I highly recommend this book. Incomplete is so beautiful, so poignant, and just so real.
