Kenna Rowan finishes her prison sentence determined to reunite with her 4 year old daughter. She packs up and moves to a town full of people who hold her responsible for the death of her late boyfriend, Scotty.
Feeling down in the dumps, Kenna walks to and old bookstore her and scotty liked, except.. now it’s a bar? At the bar she gets the hots for the bartender, but after seeing his truck she realizes this bartender is Scotty’s best friend, Ledger Ward. Her only hope now is that Ledger can find it in his heart to forgive her and hopefully she can reunite with her daughter after all this time.
WOW, this book gave me all the intense feelings a book can give. For the longest time, I really didn’t think this book would have a happy ending for Kenna.
I think I enjoyed the Ledger’s perspective the most as he was working through all his emotions towards a girl he once hated. Ledger is a very lovable character because he is very only human. The character development he goes through trying to work through his own grief while also accepting that Kenna was also a victim in the tragedy of his best friend’s death was fantastically wrote.
This book had me in tears multiple times and the ending was no exception. I’m not jumping on the Colleen Hoover train because this book about love and grief was perfect.
