Waiting for You: A Story of Loss, Grief, and Love by Allison Williford is exactly what its title and subtitle suggest. It truly is a story of loss, grief, and love. Kylie and Adam are the main characters who meet at a concert. Kylie only goes because of the coaxing of her best friend, but deep down she knows she’s too young to live her life alone and isolated. Kylie’s gotten used to being by herself. In her world, it’s just her and her mother. Adam is a rising musician, looking for an opportunity with his band named Waiting for One. When he sees Kylie at the concert, he’s intrigued. He wants to get to know her. Despite her reluctance, Adam pursues her. Kylie gradually starts to open up, but when tragedy strikes, she retreats to her old ways. She pulls away from Adam, but is he willing to let her go?
My emotions truly went on a roller-coaster ride. I found myself getting emotional as I went through the ups and downs with these characters. There is heartbreak, grief, loss, regret, courage and, most of all, love. I won’t say I cried, but I came close to shedding a few tears. There were even a few surprises that I didn’t expect and it made the story that much more interesting. Williford brought me into the world of Kylie and Adam beautifully. Even I could understand and relate to some of Kylie’s introverted ways. Taking chances in life is not easy, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. I enjoyed Waiting for You by Williford and I think she did a great job.
