Two hearts.

Two families devoted through generations of friendship.

Could Edy and Hassan really risk all that?

And yet … how could they not?

When Edy Phelps falls hard for her best friend, she knows nothing can come from it.

Forget actual chemistry, or the fact that she cherishes his mother more than her own; centuries of tradition say that Hassan will grow up, marry the girl his parents pick, and forget his best friend: the dancer with the bursting smile. Except he can’t. In a world erupting with possibilities for the boy with a body of steel and dreams of the NFL, everything seems promised while nothing at all is; when he’s denied the girl he wants most.

This is a beautiful book. And the cover is downright majestic. So great, so great so great! I read it and just wanted to cry. I cant even bring myself to read the next two books in the trilogy because I cant bear to spoil to beauty of what is Edy and Hassan. And I am not the only one who thinks this way.

I found myself going ‘wow’, I found myself wanting to cry along with Edy, and I found myself wanting more. Even though I have neglected reading the next book. Edy reminded me a lot of myself in high school, I found her character interesting, refreshing and entertaining. The main gyst of the book is that Hassan and Edy have been friends for as long as they can remember. But Hassan is a jock, a football start that puberty was more than kind too. And although Edy isnt half bad herself she feels left out of Hassan and his new jock life. Even though their family’s are friends and Hassan and Edy both feel a mutual attraction they cannot act on it as Hassan comes from a family of strict tradition. Consequently Edy decides to not let their changing relationship phase her and in a act of goodwill befriends Wyatt, the son of the neighborhood’s least respectable family–even those she has been explicitly warned not to.

This book has a shocking ending- and though there aren’t twists and turns abound every corner the book is riveting and I couldn’t put it down.

Love Edy gets 5 stars from EhBookEhDay!
