Oh my... I just loved this series... and this is a hard review for me to write without giving away a ton of spoilers since I moved straight into book three after reading this... like the same day.
That being said... I'll give it a try...
So Missy is crushed over Adam's decision that they should not be together while he is away at college. With her home life so messed up, she quickly decides to bury herself in earning money to hopefully get away from this life that has pulled so deep into depression she doesn't even know that is what it is.
In the process of getting a job, she starts "seeing" Marco. He helps her forget. He is not the gentleman most parents want their kids bringing home... and her friend Jennie tried, not very well, to warn her.
So without going into spoiler details... it's easy to see how Missy get so far off track with her life as her heart is broken yet again by someone she thought loved her. And as the one reading it, I often wanted to reach through the book and comfort her... maybe that's just the mother in me... but still, you cannot read this book and not want to help her.
And that, the ability to have empathy for someone's life, is what fiction is all about, in my opinion. We do not read about the vast difference between people, we will never try to open our eyes and see the pain behind the eyes of the people we see every day.
Seriously, though, if you are at all a fan of the Hallmark-esque love story, you will enjoy these books!
*** I received a copy of this book from the author... my opinions are my own and persuaded in the least. Feel free to check out my reviews for the other books, or my reviews on my blog, the link is in my profile. Thank you!
