Greyson East left his mark on me.
As the young girl who first fell for him, I didn’t know much about life. I did know about his smiles, though, and his laughs, and the strange way my stomach flipped when he was near.
Life was perfect…until it wasn’t, and when we were forced to go our separate ways, I held on to our memories, let go of my first crush, and wished for the day I’d find him again.
When my wish came true, it was nothing like I imagined.
I couldn’t have known when I took the nanny position that it would be his children I looked after, that my new boss would be that boy I used to know, that boy who was now a man—a cold, lonely, detached man.
The smile and laugh I had loved so much were gone, now distant memories. Every part of him was covered in a fresh pain.
When he realized who I was, he made me promise to do my job and my job only.
He made me promise not to try to get to know him, not to recall the memories I’d treasured all this time.
But, sometimes, I saw the boy I’d once known in his stormy eyes. I saw the Greyson who smiled and laughed, who had stolen a young girl’s heart, and there was no doubt in my mind that this boy was worth fighting for.
I was given a second chance with the one who’d left his mark on me. All I hoped was that somehow I’d leave a mark on his soul, too.

Eleanor & Grey is an incredibly emotional standalone romance written by author Brittainy C. Cherry. Ms. Cherry always does a fabulous job of taking the reader on an emotional journey, and this story was very tough for me at times. The book’s description does not contain a warning label, but those that have dealt with illness and loss should be cautious while reading.
This book is told in two different parts. The first is when Eleanor Gable and Greyson East are in their senior year in high school. Ellie is a timid bookworm and she only hangs out with her cousin Shay. Grey is an athlete and one of the popular kids at school. They become friends by chance, and he is there for Ellie during one of the most challenging parts of her life.
The second part of the book takes place roughly fifteen years later. Ellie is interviewing to be a nanny for a family with two young daughters, and she soon finds out that this is Grey’s family.
Eleanor & Grey is a beautiful and heartbreaking tale, and I believe I cried through at least half of the book! This is one story that will definitely be staying with me for a long time.
