I was immediately drawn in by these two souls that find each other on the worst days of their life. I love that the universe keeps bringing them together and his deep love for her is so pure. Not to mention the possessiveness and the idea of a love triangle with his brother? Hot. Plus excellent smut.

First of all, I cannot get over the fact that they met and fell in love when she was 14 and he was 5 years older.
Second, everyone either monologues or speaks in paragraphs. Even as teenagers the characters have very long speeches with extremely proper grammar & formal tones.
No one talks like that.
I guess it's cute that they reconnect when she's 23 and he's rich but there was so much trauma and weird vibes throughout the book that I could not get over & enjoy the story.
ALSO - not ONCE did the girl give herself a Google. Five years of no memory but a driver's license and she didn't think to check out a single thing.
There were some cute lines & nice notes about grief, but not enough for me to overlook the rest of the disappointment I found here.
Will not be rereading & probably won't check out more from this author.
I hate that Amy ended up with Ryan. The author made such a big deal out of how much Amy didn't trust him, how she had such good intuition and then with one line, boom, they're dating. He has almost no personality and I doubt he would change from the scornful baby he was SO quickly.
