Synopsis: "If I hadn't fallen asleep.
If I hadn't gotten behind the wheel.
If I hadn't made a mistake.

Nathan Everets knows heartache firsthand when a car accident leaves his best friend in a coma. And it's all his fault. He should be the one lying in the hospital. The one who will never play guitar again. He doesn't deserve forgiveness, and a court-appointed job at the Blackwell B&B isn't going to change that...
There's No Going Back
Captivating and hopeful, this achingly poignant novel brings together two lost souls struggling with grief and guilt--looking for acceptance, so they can find forgiveness."

This book was so, but so good... I don't really have words to describe it. It was an amazing reading, I honestly was on a reading slump because (believe it or not) I'm really really sick... which means that I don't really want to do anything... not even reading, not even writing reviews... but here I am... so you can tell how good this book was in my opinion.
I can honestly say that I loved all of the characters... I really think that the main character is an awesome person, I can honestly relate to Monroe a lot... I like the way she is, I like the way she thinks... I pretty love everything about her... and even Nathan?! Yes, I liked him a lot... I mean, he's probably NOT my tipe of boy, I didn't love him, I don't want to marry him... but I enjoyed reading about him... I enjoyed the chapters that were actually narrated by him.
This book actually has an awesome story behind it, it is a realistic fiction/contemporary novel which means that it involves drama, OBVIOUSLY... and even if normally I don't like teenage drama, this kind of drama is not that bad... because it is bad stuff, there is serious stuff going on on this book... so I can't say that it is teenage drama... I actually enjoyed the drama in this story... and the couple, the two main characters... I mean, I really think that they are a cute couple... I'm not going to say that I'm thrilled with the end of this book... I'm not going to say that this book has a happy ending... but it hasn't a sad/bad end either... I just can't explain it without spoiling you, sorry!
I was not sure if I was going to like this book to be honest... I was kind of afraid because when I bought it I didn't know a lot about it... actually until today, until I started reading the book I knew nothing about it... so basically I could love it or I could hate it... the good thing is that I actually loved it, so.... GOOD SHOT!
I think that everyone should read this book... this story is really cute, it was kind fo short (maybe) because I kind of feel that I wanted to know more about it... BUT, I'm pretty happy with this book... so I obviously recommend it to everyone who likes contemporary/young adult novels.
