Another kindle find, and I’m glad I gave it a chance. The story follows the friendship of Sydney and Oliver as it blossoms into more. Oliver was Sydney’s best friend until he went missing on the 4th of July 22 years ago. She kept him in her heart all those years, and finally he was found. Over those years, she built up walls and blocked out any form of love. Once he walks back in, her walls start to crumble.

The three stars are for plot. This was obviously a very well thought out book. I am so impressed by the detail, emotion and everything in between with this book. It gave me all the feels!! The ending was more than just a happy ending it felt like closure also.
I just really hated the swearing. I'm not a prude or else I wouldn't be reading this genre but good grief. With Oliver sounding extremely educated, she made Syd and Gabe sound like the only words they knew were swears. Made them sound purposely uneducated. 
It got to the point where it was distracting. 
It was a good book over all, loved the ending and plot twist.
