GOODREAD’S BOOK DESCRIPTION
Two names that didn't belong to us. Two shoes that did.
Intense and introspective, seventeen-year-old Hawthorne Macy knows all about being abandoned. She's felt the stark pain of being left behind by the people who are supposed to love her the most; her parents. Raised by her caring uncle on an old plantation, Hawthorne lives her life on the fringes of her small Southern town.
Until she meets his shoe.
Senior year, last period English class, and a pair of silent tennis shoes resting next to hers in the back of the room throws Hawthorne into a world she'd learned to stay outside of.
His name is Max Vincent, but in her mind, he’s Heathcliff. The handsome eighteen-year-old boy behind the shoes will pull Hawthorne into a passionate and unforgettable adventure of self-discovery during a time when love seems impossible.
Shoes can tell a lot about a person. The journey they take you on can tell a lot about how they'll hold up.
REVIEW
Clare “Hawthorne” Macy is in Senior year when she met a pair of tennis shoes that belong to a boy name Max “Heathcliff” Vincent. Here begins there journey into self discovery, love and heartache. Hawthorne didn't trust others and didn't let others to be close to her except her Uncle Gregor who raised her.
"Faces leave," I mumbled. "Shoes walk away. You learn a lot about a person by what they wear on their feet. I'd rather see what's going to leave, than what I'd miss if it left."
Hawthorne and Heathcliff soon they both grow quite attached to one another but Heathcliff plans on leaving town after their graduation. Heathcliff leaving didn't held back the development of their relationship with each other.
"He's leaving."
She snorted. "Oh, I know. He needs to, but the world is a crazy place. It jades a person, and when he comes back, he's going to need to remember the boy he was to make him the man he needs to be.”
The story takes the characters five years later and then again two years later and Heathcliff came back to town while Hawthorne became a wonderful woman and a chef.
I laughed, cried and ached while reading this book. Hawthorne and Heathcliff is an emotional journey about rediscovery, life, loss, healing, valuing your family and second chances.
“Sometimes love isn’t forever. Sometimes it’s just moments in your life that teach you. If it’s the forever after kind of love, it’ll find you again. If it isn’t, don’t let a broken heart break you. Let it make you love harder. Love is a mistake worth making."
