I received this free eARC novel from NetGalley. This is my honest review.

This has been on my TBR pile for so long, and I'm glad I finally got around to it. I really enjoyed the storyline and seeing the characters change throughout the story was a great character development. The plot was great and kept my attention. I'm glad I got the chance to read this and will be on the lookout for more in the future!

This was a fantastic read. The storyline was beautifully written. The main characters, Drake and Selene have both lost people in their lives that they loved. Their grief made them strong characters. Drake is the son of a mayor and an athlete. However, he is also a sweet guy who loved his little sister, Lacey very much. Selene was loved by her mother, but her father never wanted her. I thought her character went through so much pain, and to see her grief was sad. Also, I really loved how they met at the beginning. It was very awkward yet genuine, and then to see the friendship between them blossom into love was sweet. I loved every minute of the book. Especially the revelation near the end when we got a glimpse into Drake’s dad, Mayor Greg Thomas’s mind. I can’t wait to read more books by this author. Overall, an amazing read.

this book that made me cry, laugh, and grow right along with the main characters.
