And while he looked just like any other boy, his mind worked a little differently. “Because then you would understand.”Ĭolton Neely was innocent, trusting, beautiful and heartbreaking. His gaze traveled my face again before he focused on my hair, saying exactly what he had on his mind. The breath in my body just rushed out all at once as I asked him why. I loved everything about Lily! With a small sigh he squeezed my hand tighter. And she wanted the rest of the world to see that too.
She never saw Colton as different, he was always just Colton to her. Not only because she cared for him, but so he could experience life like her. She tried her hardest to make life easier for Colton.
He was worth it even after only one day.Īs a teenager, Lily continued to be a kind and thoughtful person. I would do whatever it took to be what he needed me to be. What evolved from their brief childhood moments to their teen years was pure, beautiful and believable. And I loved how I got to watch them interact here and there as the years passed. But then the story progressed as they grew up into teenagers. While Colton just wanted to color, Lily had crazy wild ideas, and I still crack up thinking about their first interactions. We met her in the first chapter as a headstrong ten year old little girl who tasked to babysit Colton Neely, who was just one year younger than her. Lily Grace Evans was a breath of fresh air. Words he’s been branded with could never describe him. Because Lily and Colton’s story was incredibly heartwarming and I hope all of my friends will give this book a try. It was the perfect book to make me feel all wonderful and cozy inside. Puddle Jumping was adorably sweet and had humor and heartfelt moments sprinkled throughout. But one decision threatens to break down the world that Lilly has tried so hard to integrate into and she must figure out if the relationship can survive if they are apart. Their friendship grows into love, even as Colton does not express it in words. The more she learns, the deeper she falls. When he walks through the corridor of her school the first day of her senior year, she knows that it’s time to get to know the real Colton Neely. And she’s not sure if she’s ready to find out. Years later, they meet again and Lilly learns that there is something special about the boy she once knew, but she has no idea what it all means. Once friends when they were younger, their bond is cut short due to her accident prone nature and they go their separate ways. Lilly Evans just thinks he’s fascinating. When it comes to love there’s no such thing as conventional.
