Summary

One summer changes their lives forever....

Alex Ellison is well-educated, rich, and good-looking. Too bad the ingredients of success haven’t mixed too well for him, and instead of having the world at his feet, Alex has, once again, landed himself in a hot mess of trouble.

The community service his father arranges for him in a wildlife center on the other side of the country comes as a bit of a nasty surprise, though. Being shipped off to middle-of-nowhere, Oregon, is not Alex’s idea of the perfect summer vacation. What Alex never expects is to meet Noah Price. He never expects to be noticed and understood. He never expects to feel valued and special. He never expects to fall in love.

Everything is not what it seems, though, and love that feels invincible turns out to be anything but. But love finds a way, and when Alex and Noah unexpectedly cross paths years later, they will have to risk it all for the love they both deserve and so desperately need.

Brilliant begining

The first third of the book is wonderful, but it goes downhill from there. The book doesn't go where you would expect and it certainly takes the ginger out of our hero.

Brilliant

What a wonderful book, major book hangover with this one.

Rare is a beautiful story of first love and second chances told in two parts with a time jump.
Alex and Noah are amazing characters and I loved reading about their story. It’s an adorable, heart breaking, heart warming and emotional read.

Briar Prescott is a fantastic writer and I can’t wait to hear more.

Super cool premise, but didn't quite get there

It had a very interesting background plot and I wish the romance would have taken more of a back seat in favour of this in the later half of the book. A national tragedy that requires a main character's imput is alluded to in the epilogue and I would have loved to see that scene actually play out. We missed out on an interesting internal conflict.
it's a fun book with a mystery twist, picks up speed towards the end and gets quite thrilling but never reaches the peaks it hyped you up for.

Lone Wolves

Poor narration, each narrator doing a consecutive half. An animal sanctuary becomes a sanctuary for the 2 lone man cubs, each having issues with their parents. The dead wolf scene changes them, realizing what rare really means.

The MCs are moulded by their lives to date (Alex is petulent, ignorant and crude, Noah: simplistic, naive and sweet). Being so young they are silhouettes of whom they are to become. The "first love" tale focuses on the miniscule details youth find so important. Part 2 is ten years later.

Was continully expecting the 2nd narrator to input his character's character much earlier in the book, The initial narrator's continual whiny tone was very one dimentional which made the tale monochrome and uninteresting. The story didn't improve when the 2nd narrrator joined.

Gave up before 4 hours. DNF

DISAPPOINTING
