We then find out what Joel's secret is. I personally did not want to know in advance what it was (but it is listed in the book blurb). But it has to do with dreams. Joel, used to be a vet till circumstances forced him to abandon it. Joel also has a secret. He dreams about people he loves seeing future events sometimes years before they happen. For this reason he mostly cuts himself off from people and especially from falling in love. But then he meets Callie. Despite his best efforts he falls for her fast and deeply. In Callie he experiences love. But then he has a dream that shatters his new found joy. His dream reveals Callie’s death. Is there any way to prevent this happening? This book is emotional, meaningful and significant. There were parts that were absolutely heartbreaking. And there were parts that made me cry. Enter Callie, who makes him fall in love, who encourages him to open up and who ultimately he sees the future for in one of his dreams. I cant say to much because I would ruin it for you... but set across six years we hear narration from Joel and Callie. Poor Joel in agony because he knows whats going to happen in the future. Does he tell Callie and does Callie want to know what he sees in his dreams? How would you react? Would you want to know what Joel dreamt about you?
Joel is not a Spider-Man because he doesn't crawl like a Spider. Since he’s not large nor particularly muscled he’s no Iron-Man either ... Both Callie and Joel are likable characters and it does raise thought provoking questions. Would you want to know when your death will occur if you could or not? Steve, Joel’s friend is also a lovely character as are a couple of the other secondary characters.
