4.5 stars. Faith and Leo, the lead characters, were a couple in high school with serious plans for the future. Then Faith allowed her rich father to interfere in their relationship. When Leo broke up with her in fury, both struggled but created new lives, though they never found a serious romantic partner. Now Leo is back in town and the attraction hasn’t waned…

This full length novel is dual POV, well written, and an emotionally engaging and moving read. It explores their history and intentions in great detail, with a thoroughly engaged cast of supporting characters. I enjoyed the character and relationship development, as well as characters who were/will be lead characters in other stories. I also enjoyed the intimate scenes and the brutal honesty of the differences between the teenage female and Faith today.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Loved this story. Faith and Leo were written as mature, well rounded characters. The story’s climax didn’t feel forced, and had good basis in the storyline. Wish we got more snippets of their past!
