Tally Johnson is all about family, so she cannot imagine ever leaving Amethyst, the town she was born in. Her entire family is here. The family resort is here. And here is where Tally’s cleaning service business is booming. She and Adam Schaefer have been an item since high school. However, Adam’s first love in life is flying. This means he is away, only returning to Amethyst for 2 or 3 weeks out of the year. After eight years, Tally is beginning to wonder if Adam only sees her as a convenient stop.
Donnie Garner dated Tally in high school before Adam did. He has never fallen out of love with Tally and hates how Adam treats her. Tally has no idea that Adam has been cheating on her for most of those eight years (with multiple women.) Donnie knows because Adam brags about it to him. Donnie wants Tally for her own but does not believe he is good enough for her. Though he wants more, he is happy if Tally simply lets him be friends with her and see her every day – even if it is only to hear her moan about missing Adam. Unlike Adam, Donnie does not have big career aspirations. He works in his father’s garage.
Finally having had enough, Donnie begins trying to make Tally see that he is the better choice for her. Tally finds herself in the middle, caring for both Adam and Donnie, wondering which to choose. When Tally becomes pregnant and does not know which guy is the father, things get heated between the men … as if she does not have enough on her plate.
**** FOUR STARS! Wiesner not only creates likeable characters, but also give them flaws, making them more human, more realistic.
That Tally’s character remained faithful the eight years she dated Adam is something I find amazing. Few can boast such good behavior. Yet when she finally makes love with Donnie, she considers herself a slut and begins to really beat herself up over it. (Before and after she learns of Adam’s years of infidelities.) I see Tally’s character in a different light. As I said, I find it amazing she remained faithful for so long. That speaks volumes to me on how much she values her relationships. Not to mention how much she cares for her family and her wonderful work ethic.
Donnie and Adam’s lives could not have been more opposite. Adam lies so easily and convincingly, yet he really does intend to marry Tally … someday. Donnie keeps the truth of Adam’s cheating to himself so as not to hurt Tally. Hurting her is just unbearable to him.
The author mainly follows Tally and Donnie in Amethyst, but manages to give Adam face time and phone time. She shows how hectic a pilot’s life can be, especially if one is trying to climb in rank. This triangle relationship is more complex than most I have read and I thoroughly enjoyed reading about it. Brava! ****
