We see flashbacks to their relationship which made me fall in love with him, just as Kenna did, which made his loss even harder to read. I can only hope they change their minds someday, but until then, this is my life. To them, forgiving me would feel like betraying their own son. “There are people who find peace in forgiveness, and then there are others who look at forgiveness as a betrayal. Are they risking Ledger’s relationship with Diem, and the chance for Kenna to even have a relationship with her? But how can Kenna even begin to beg for forgiveness that when nobody is willing to even give her a chance? But there is still a huge divide between them. Though there is still so much pain between them, they laugh and joke, they are playful, and they bring so much joy to each other. It’s beautiful seeing these two together. “I fell for you because of how much you do.” “I would have fallen for you even if you didn’t love Diem.” He begins to understand her and what happened that awful night, and over time their connection deepens and becomes something so much more than either of them were ever expecting. They secretly begin to spend time together, and the more Ledger learns about Kenna, the more his feelings change. Her chance comes from Ledger who, though furious and hurting, still feels drawn to Kenna. Time, distance, and devastation allow people enough opportunity to craft villains out of people they don’t even know.

I became angry from those who were keeping her away from little Diem, and I was desperate for her to get some sort of break.

But as the story progresses and we get to know and understand her, OMG, I ached for her. It’s a tragic situation, and I admit I started off having very little sympathy for Kenna. Not only that, but Ledger is a huge part of Scotty’s daughter, Diem’s, life, and he doesn’t want her anywhere near the little girl. Ledger and Kenna never met when she and Scotty were together, but of course he knows all about her, and he knows that she is to blame for Scotty’s death. And then the plot twist – Ledger was Scotty’s best friend. Their attraction is quick and intense, and full of all of the flirtatious banter that Hoover writes so well. Ledger is a local bar owner who shares an immediate connection with Kenna. She gave birth in prison and has never seen her daughter, who went to live with Scotty’s parents, and she has returned to the town where her whole world fell apart to try reunite with the only family that she has left. Kenna has just been released from five years in prison after serving time for a car accident that killed her then-boyfriend, Scotty. A heartbreaking story of forgiveness and redemption with a beautiful love story, I loved this book so much! OMG, Colleen Hoover writes the most emotional and unexpected stories, and she’s delivered an amazing read with this incredible book.
