I knew once I finished chapter one that this one was going to hurt my heart, but like only in that unique way that a really great book can. Where do I even start with Sammy and Will, they are a couple that just worms their way into your heart. You're rooting for them, even as your hearts breaking while you read their journey to get there. This story spans decades, you meet them when they are cute little guys on bikes and then again as the universe brings them back together as adults. If second chances aren’t typically your thing, I implore you to give this one a try, it might just change your perspective on this trope.
Sammy and Will are quite the opposite, Will dresses more in the preppy style but don’t let that fool you he’s got a heart of gold. Sammy has the skater boy image and puts on this tough exterior due to the life he’s grown up in and what he’s had to do to survive, the only one who’s ever taken the time to actually see him, is Will. Sammy has some exceptional growth throughout this book, he goes from a punka$$ kid mad at the world for the sh*tty hand he’s been dealt to an adult who’s found himself and made peace with his past. You finally see that big heart that only Will could see, he learned to channel his anger, and to let his defenses down. Will’s time away also changed him, life hadn’t been all the way kind to him, but that was for the best, it brings him back to where he needed to be, to reconnect with the people he long ago left behind, it takes him a little bit longer to have the kind of growth that Sammy does but he gets their and their hard fought HEA is so worth the emotional journey this book takes you on.
This book is the first in a new series by Melody, I loved Jason as a side character and can’t wait to see his story and where she takes the rest of this series! This book does have some triggers so check that out before you jump in so you know what to expect.
*I want to thank Melody for the opportunity to read and review this book, this is my honest opinion*
