Reid is a firefighter doing what she loves, and then her friend of many years (whole life really) and her fellow firefighter, Jimmy, dies and her entire life changes.

Isabel is Jimmy's younger sister and when he dies and leaves behind a son, her life drastically changes as well. She comes back to her hometown to take care of that son and she and Reid clash quite a bit because she blames Reid for her brother's death. Of course, it's complicated by the fact that Reid blames herself too.

There's a whole lotta emotion between the two women and not all of it's good. (And by that I mean happy, all the emotion I thought was really well written).

There was also a lot of twists and turns. Partially because of Reid's profession and partially because of their feelings being quite in flux at such an emotional time for both of them.

I very much liked the secondary characters. Chase was super, super cute, and Meredith was pretty cool too.

It was a fun novel and a slightly different take on the whole 'coming back to the hometown' trope. Very cool. ( )
