4.5
This was a well written, second chance romance novel!
Andi hasn't been back to her hometown for 9 years. Until her estranged father dies and she goes to attend his funeral. She hopes not to run into her old high school boyfriend (Corey) but she does. She has to learn how to get past the man that she knew as a drunk and learn about the man who sobered up and became a good person in the people's lives that she left behind.
I love how realistic this story was. I love the power of redemption and I'm sad that Andi didn't get to see it from her father. But as she learns more about him and gets close to Corey again, it's just beautiful. I didn't always agree with the choices that Andi and Corey made together that set them apart these 9 years but it's also a bit understandable.
This is the second book I've read of Casey's and I'm a fan!
