Lily
I fell in love with my best friend when I was fifteen. My first love, my first everything. But then I left, and broke both our hearts in the process. I tried to move on, but when tragedy brings me back home to Amity, it also brings me back to him. I want to stay away; I don’t want to want him. But there’s always been a pull between us that’s impossible to ignore. And I’m afraid if I let him in, I’ll end up falling even harder than before.
Parker
It’s always been her. Even when she hasn’t wanted me, I’ve still wanted her. Lily is my everything, even when she left. Even when she acted like she hated me, I’ve still wanted her. Now that she’s back I’m determined to do everything I can to have her once again. The memories of her will never be enough. This time, when I get her back, I’m going to hold on tight and never let her go.

ARC/ALC Review
I have to get this one thought out of the way … I will never understand why some choices are written into a story. I’m not putting this in a spoiler thread because the book has already released and it’s just one of those things that makes me twitchier than twitchy. Okay, maybe I will LOL. Lily decides she wants to further her education and maybe see what’s outside the small town she’s grown up in. Totally fair. Her boyfriend Parker is very upset over it. Also, totally fair. Things are said. Choices are made and yeah, neither one looks good at this moment for different reasons. They’re 18 years old, of course things are said and choices are made that cause reactions that are dramatic! I repeat, 18 years old. A small amount of time goes by, and Lily comes back because she thinks she may have made a mistake. Still just teenagers. She sees something she decides is one thing and bam, she leaves again not to return until she’s 25 and yes, with a boyfriend. There are a few more ridic things I could get into but I’m not. Read the book. Everything that happens in this story is legit for the age group these characters are in. I said what I said. #fightme
I enjoyed this story. Not everything about it, but enough that I was satisfied. There are more than a few choices the author made for the storyline that I have yet to figure out why she chose what she chose to happen, but it’s not my story to tell, and honestly, in real life, those choices are not not realistic. So, there’s that. I enjoyed the “flashbacks” because they helped me understand their bond better and young love is always heartwarming for me. Without those flashbacks, it might have been difficult for me to really connect with them as a couple and believe in their HEA. Plus, the flashbacks were more like “moments in time” rather than “chunks of time” so you don’t really get pulled from the “today” story, it just gets enhanced. I like that even with all the dramatic(ish) events in the beginning of this book, they got their act together and began building a “now” relationship fairly early. Also, the last minute “surprise” events were enjoyable and added a level of emotion that wasn’t unwelcomed because they weren’t “conflicts”.
🎧I listened to this story more than read because an immersive experience is what I like best, I used the ARC to read some situations a little better to make sure I was really getting what the story was trying to say, and it worked really well with this story. 🎤Brandon Francis & Savannah Thomas🎤 performed smoothly and kept me invested in the story. I don’t listen to either of them nearly enough and I need to change that. Before today, I’d listened to just a couple of books narrated by Brandon and now it seems like I have about 5 on deck between last month and now, and I am not sad about it! 👏👏
