Description
About Tomorrow...
I close my eyes as I hear him speak. I take one very long and deep breath hoping to calm the immediate butterflies that take flight in my stomach and hope to slow down the racing of my heart. The voice was slightly deeper but the timbre was one that was achingly familiar.
My actions did little to help, but then who was I kidding? A deep breath wasn't going to fix the effect he had on me and my body's inevitable reaction. Even the memories that would forever haunt me couldn't keep my emotions from triggering at the nearness of him once again.
I used to pray that I'd find the strength to move on from him, from the pain that the end carried, from the emptiness in my chest, but ultimately move on from—the loss of Creed Sullivan and the death of his sister, Cora.
The Sullivans had been the best part of my summers in New England.
Deep down, I knew my ache for all that I had lost was the reason I returned...
But I hadn't expected to see him again—especially not like this.

A modern day Nicolas Sparks, The Notebook.
From the first chapter I was intrigued. By chapter three I was hooked. With each chapter I read I fell more and more in love with these characters. Life happens, even the ugly parts can change a person for the good.
Sailor is the daughter of a famous Nashville country singer. You would assume her life was all glamorous, but all Sailor longer for were summers at her grandmother’s home in New England with her two best friends, Cora and her twin brother Creed.
But life can be cruel as Sailor finds out at 16 and with Cora and Creed no longer in her life she had to fight her way back to reality.
Insert six years, a hot med student boyfriend and Sailor is back in the Boston area with new heartache and a home left to her by her late grandmother. Her grandmother’s home had always been the place she felt the safest and more like home than any other place she had traveled in the world. But can living their without her beloved grandmother and risk seeing her ex be too much for Sailor?
“As a little girl, I’d loved playing with him, and as a teenage girl, I had fallen in love with him.”
Creed and his twin sister Cora could not wait until summer time when Sailor arrived at her grandmother’s house. Over the years, Cora’s best friend had turned into the one girl Creed couldn’t live without. Ice cream cones became stole kisses and much, much more. So why after on major event did Creed turn his back on Sailor and never look back?
“I loved you. I loved you so much it destroyed me. Losing you shut me down, my life no longer felt worth living. The darkness that surrounded me after what you did to me was so bad I didn’t recognize myself anymore.”
Either life is a cruel bastard or and evil genius because Sailor’s return to Boston will test both Creed’s and Sailors’s sanity, morals and heart.
“I stared outside and accepted the fact I wasn’t going to be able to stop this. Creed Sullivan was worse than any drug.”
I give is book five page turning, attention grabbing and soul searching stars.
4 1/2 Stars for this heartbreaking romance!
This story just broke my heart! I just loved Cora ... she is just a good person, always giving ... but not getting much in return. Then there's Creed ... at first, I thought he was a jerk and then I would like him, then he was a jerk, then I would like him ... I kept going back and forth. This story is told from Sailor's POV ... and I wish that I could have gotten into Creed's head to see why he did the things he did. This is a quick read that I would recommend.
Sailor spent summers at her grandmother's house and with her best friends ... twins Cora and Creed Sullivan. Until the summer when they were 17 ... the summer everything changed. Cora died, Creed vanished and Sailor's life would never be the same. Six years later her boyfriend is going to Boston for medical school, so Sailor decides to move to her grandmother's house, because it's only an hour away, instead of staying in Nashville. But while staying with her boyfriend till her things arrive, she runs into Creed and all those intense feeling for him come rushing back. But Creed isn't the same person ... life and circumstances have changed him.
I received an early copy courtesy of Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op through NetGalley in exchange for a honest review.
I thought this was an amazing book. I think this has jumped up to be my favorite book Abbi has written. It was very easy to read, and very hard to put down. I felt the characters and situations were very relatable and that made the story feel more real and less like fiction. The only "negative" thing would be that a trigger warning might want to be added for suicide/mental health. Other than that, I really enjoyed this book.
This was one of those quick, predictable romances that you know the ending to but enjoy it anyway. I liked the descriptions of New England in the fall.
Kindly received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Is this even the same author who wrote the Sweet Little (or sweet something) series? Because the writing and the grit and the emotions in this book are so incredibly well-done here that I’m blown away.
Creed and Sailor have a lot of healing to do, and seeing each other again brings it all back to he surface like it happened a few hours ago, rather than years ago. The only problem? Creed has a lot to atone for and Sailor has someone else. But sometimes, the heart remembers what it wanted and no longer allows the head to lie about what feels right. And this story is a perfectly crafted trip down that type of bumpy road. Both Creed and Sailor need to face the pain of their shared loss and the fact that Griff is distant at best makes that crack in Sailor’s resolve break wide open eventually. And from there, it’s all about how to deal with the truth.
Yes, there is sensitive subject matter. In many ways. But this book is less about the drama of hurts and more about the reconciliation and forgiveness of past and present hurts, as well as how to best deal with them. Sailor doesn’t shy away from what she’s done, just as Creed refuses to back down from what he wants. And the fact that this all feels realistic enough to draw the reader in makes it a fantastic read from start to finish.
This childhood friends to lovers story with a love tested by life and an unexpected face to face that leads to second chance at love was a great read. I absolutely enjoyed Sailor, Creed and Griff characters along with some of the side characters. Sailor and Creed share a past but Griff is her present and he was there to mend her broken pieces. Sailor is in love with both men but how can she avoid hurting any one of them. Her heart loves one but her soul is destined and calls to another. I hated how Sailor kept making excuses for Griff but he wasn't a bad person, and I couldn't dislike him for having to do what he needed to do for him. At the same time I couldn't hate or dislike Sailor because she did what she needed to do for her. Creed did what he did because he needed to do it for him. Everyone in this story had their faults and had to live with their choices, so it was easy to relate to these characters. The ending was sweet and this is a standalone story but I wished that the epilogue had been more about the couple in the present than about what happened in the past. I just needed a little bit more of them to make this a 5 star read for me since they had just reunited the incident that happened. I would recommend this book to family and friends and of course, I would read other books from this author. I've read quite a few books from her and I haven't been disappointed yet. This story is worth reading.
I love Abbi Glines and when I seen she was releasing a new book I was so excited! I devoured this book so quickly, it was unputdownable! I love a story that has you hooked from the very first page!
Creed and Sailor were childhood sweethearts and lost touch after suffering a tragedy. Some years later they reconnect but they have grown up, Sailor is dating Griff. When Sailor and Creed grow close again all the feels come back. I loved getting little snippets of their past it explained so much about why they grew apart.
If you love a second chance romance with some heartbreak then I would definitely recommend this book!
