I fell in love with her. Then she died. But that’s not the end of our story.
I met Sylvie Cranston when I was ten years old. Back then, she was the annoying, weird girl who had moved next door and got me in trouble. But by twelve, we became friends when I taught her how to bait a fishing line and she showed me the value of a selfless act. At fourteen, she owned my heart.
At seventeen, she died.
Or so I was told. But I don’t believe it. Sylvie is part of my soul. I would know if she was no more. I searched and prayed for her to come back to me. Finally, I just waited for her.
Ten years later, she strolled into the English lit course I taught. Only this girl claimed her name was Sophie Becker and she had no idea who I was. But I’m not giving up. I’m going to get the girl I love back and protect her from the danger that took her away all those years ago.
My name is Caleb Tanner and this is our story.

Product description

About the Author

MK Schiller is a hopeless romantic in a hopelessly pragmatic world. By day, she dons a magic cape, calculator (sometimes an abacus), and an assortment of gel pens for her work in the world of finance. But by night, she sits by the warm glow of her computer monitor, and conjures up handsome heart-warming heroes and the vivacious heroines they love. A wife and mother of two loveable, but angst-ridden teenagers, she enjoys movies, gardening, and travelling. Although she loves to write, she is a reader first and enjoys nothing more than curling up with a good book and some tasty Italian (the food, of course!). She hopes you will enjoy her stories and write to her. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Not knowing a word of English, MK Schiller came to America at the age of four from India. Since then, all she’s done is collect words. After receiving the best gift ever from her parents—her very own library card—she began reading everything she could get her greedy hands on. At sixteen, a friend asked her to make up a story featuring the popular bad boy at school. This wasn’t fan fiction…it was friend fiction. From that day on, she’s known she wanted to be a writer. With the goal of making her readers both laugh and cry, MK Schiller has penned more than a dozen books, each one filled with misfit characters overcoming obstacles and finding true love.

5.0 out of 5 stars I really loved this book !!!
Reviewed in Australia on 18 July 2019
This blurb grabbed my attention straight away for this story and I couldn't wait to read it. Once I picked the book up, I couldn't tear myself away.

Caleb and Sylvie have been best of friends since they were ten when Sylvie and her father moved next door to Celeb and his family in Prairie Marsh, Texas. Sylvie is this introverted quiet strange girl who keeps herself to herself. She hides herself away under her baggy clothes but underneath it all lies an intelligent, funny young girl that made me laugh at some of the wisecracks that came out of her mouth.

While Caleb is the opposite, fun loving, good looking, chatty and outgoing with lots of friends and although at first Sylvie gets on his nerves, things soon change. From the beginning, these two characters captured my whole attention because they were so just interesting to explore. I loved the way the characters bonded when they were young; the way it was written I felt that I was experiencing it first hand; the closeness, trust and the deep bond that developed between them both.

The whole book was mesmerising to read. There was plenty of angst, tension, witty humour, longing and heartbreak. Add some great secondary characters that added even more to this wonderful emotional journey. Definitely, one not to be missed !!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Who is she?
Reviewed in Australia on 18 July 2019
This has a bit of everything suspense, hotness, angst & second chances. Sophie & Cal meet when they're 10yo. She's the mystery girl across the road & very strange. They form a strong friendship into their teens then an incident occurs with her supposed death. Cal knows shes still alive & that reality occurs years later when as a teacher he finds her in his class.
This flashes back to the past & the present & I'll leave the rest for you to find out.
I'm pretty sure I've read this before & when posting t Goodreads found the other edition. Another one to add to the list!

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

5.0 out of 5 stars My first book by this author -extraordinary
Reviewed in the United States on 15 July 2019

This is my first MK Schiller book and I'm kicking myself for not finding her books sooner. This book rocked my world. It tore emotions from me that I didn't know I had. Cal was a wonderful character...complex and emotionally open, which was so different than all other kids his age. I loved how he was a reader and shared books with Sylvie. And the author weaved The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe in such a loving way so it's clear she is a fan as well.

This is really a romantic suspense story and I want to say so much about this book here, but it would be spoilers. I want to talk about the compassionate and tenderness written in this book with more than just vagueness...but I can't. This book is special in so many ways. It's absolutely riveting... I cried at the honesty of these beautiful characters.

The ending closes this story with a lovely and satisfying finality. It's written and edited very well. The author uses flashbacks very well. They only add to the story instead of defining it. The book is a stunning tale of absolute love through extraordinary odds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible ... definitely a "re-read" ...

The book was amazing. I didn't think I would I like how it went from past to present ... but I did.
I loved all the characters... Caleb and Sylvie the best. I just love the way he loves her ... right from the first day he met her as a boy. And how he continues to love her day in and day out. I cried ... I laughed ... I loved it ...
" ... I was missing something and I had to find it."
"What?"
"My heart. A man can't function without his heart."

This was beautiful and emotional read!

I enjoyed every aspect of this novel. The writing was spectacular. Simply amazing. Caleb’s POV was raw, honest and powerful. The author was able to create a very strong male voice with so much sweetness and vulnerability that she didn’t end up emasculating him but instead created a male character that seemed so lifelike and so real. Considering the story is told in the male prospective only this is not an easy feat but the author did an exceptional job. Caleb’s and Sylvie’s story was heartbreakingly beautiful. The love, the friendship, the bond, the pain, the hope and the faith between these two characters are exactly what great novels are made of. I laughed, I cried, I swooned and I really really enjoyed the heck of this story.

4 star because there was quite a few editing errors and I felt like the plot that tied this story together was kinda ... cheesy and unbelievable. It didn’t take away from the story but it didn’t add to it either which unfortunately it caused the ending to be some what flat compared to the rest of the story. If the resolution was a little bit thought out and expanded upon more then this could have easily been a 5 star novel.

The Do-Over by this author was added to my favorites collection and this one is no different.

I just stumbled on this book by looking up sweet heroes on goodreads, and I'm so glad I did. I loved everything about this book. The childhood friendship, watching it grow into love. Cal's refusal to move on. The parallel to the Raven was genius. I don't have any other words to express it. I love these types of books, where all the characters have life. It's the heroine and hero who lead the story, but their other relationships are also important. It gives a sense of belonging and togetherness. The suspense factor was just a bonus. I was so off on what I thought was happening, then finding out and realizing all the little clues I missed. And goodreads was right. Cal was the sweetest hero. Sylvie was loving and kind. I'm so glad I got to experience their world for a short time.

1.0 out of 5 stars DNF, the summery lied
Reviewed in the United States on 16 February 2021

This was described as this amazing love story. He always had faith that she was out there,over and over again it say as that he “waited” for her. He sounds obsessed and I was ready to read that story. Well until he reveals that somehow even though he’s been sooo obsessed with her and believing that she’s still alive, he still found the time/ way to screw a bunch of other women. Story author you can’t have it both ways. Either you want a basics douche who says he’s in love but screws everyone, it you can have Abe amazing hero who truly showed that he never gave up. Sorry author you can’t have it both ways. The scene where he says that he waited for her, then laughed and said he was kidding he had definitely been with other women was so awful and completely inappropriate appropriate for this story. It’s one of the absolute worst scenes that I’ve ever read. pathetic.
