By NEW YORK TIMES and USA TODAY bestselling Author, Shelly Crane.
Maggie is a seventeen year old girl who's had a bad year. Her mom left, her dad is depressed, she's graduating, barely, and her boyfriend of almost three years dumped her for a college football scholarship. Lately she thinks life is all about hanging on by a thread and is gripping tight with everything she has.
Then she meets Caleb.
She saves his life and instantly knows there's something about him that's intriguing but she is supposed to be on her way to a date with his cousin. But things change when they touch, sparks ignite. Literally. They imprint with each other and she sees their future life together flash before her eyes. She learns that not only is she his soul mate, and can feel his heartbeat in her chest, but there is a whole other world of people with gifts and abilities that she never knew existed. She herself is experiencing supernatural changes unlike anything she's ever felt before and she needs the touch of his skin to survive. Now, not only has her dad come out of his depression to be a father again, and a pain as well, but Caleb's enemies know he's imprinted and are after Maggie to stop them both from gaining their abilities and take her from him. Can Caleb save her or will they be forced to live without each other after just finding one another?

Review

Significance has potential, but it needs a deep look over and edits. I admit the synopsis of the story perked my interest because after having one encounter she was able to see her future with Caleb, but other than that the story just deflated.

The emotions and actions weren’t developed well enough that you felt every word that was written. Images weren’t flowing through my mind when I hit certain points in the story. Also Maggie and Caleb’s love story seemed fake. Nothing really took hold for me to really invest with these characters. Their constant “I love you” and “No, I love you more” was a bit too much for my taste. I would have liked to see Maggie be stunned at already finding her soulmate or building the relationship as it goes instead of just going with it.

Again, in the beginning I found potential in the story, but everything that happens needs to have more depth and less naive love. If I looked over that and the aspect of the grammar mistakes I would say that this story would be amazing because you can tell that this author has potential.
