The Corey Effect by Casey Dembowski
4.0
Andi Scott never thought there would a reason to return to her hometown, a place full of muddled memories and broken promises. But then her estranged father passes away. Suddenly, Andi finds herself reluctantly taking the journey back, hoping to put some much needed closure on that chapter of her life.
Once there, however, Andi is overcome with bittersweet feelings from her past. Walking through her childhood home conjures painful images of tiptoeing around her alcoholic father, while walking through town reminds her of special moments with her high school sweetheart, Corey Johnson.
Then she runs into Corey in present day. Shocked at how the past and present have collided in unexpected ways, Andi tries to make sense of the paths that brought each of them to where they are. Only the more Andi tries to understand the two most impactful men in her life, old wounds are reopened. Can Andi find it in her heart to forgive those who broke her heart, or more importantly, can she ever forgive herself?
The Corey Effect is a tender story about making peace with the past. Told in alternating timelines, the reader gets to see important events that took place and their long lasting repercussions. It also entertains the notion that true love can prevail with the passage of time and some patience.
