I received an advance review copy for free thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture Audio and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Blurb
Anna works two jobs to get herself through college and never, ever talks about her family. It's easier to keep her distance from everyone until she can finally leave her old life behind. That is, until chance throws her together with Gabe …
Gabe is top of the class, in a fancy fraternity, and has a big, perfect, warm-hearted family. He is everything Anna is not. Their connection is undeniable. His silver-blue eyes pierce right through her, and he makes her laugh in ways she never thought possible. But Anna would do anything to stop Gabe from discovering her darkest secret, and the real reason she goes home every night to a cold, silent apartment…
When Gabe and his family get close to the truth, Anna runs, vowing to never see them again. But forever is a long time…
Years later. Tragedy brings Anna back to the town she grew up in—a place she escaped a decade ago. When Gabe wraps his strong arms around her, it's like finally finding home.
But when the truth comes out after all these years, will both their worlds come crashing down? Gabe is the one person Anna trusts but what if he has secrets, too? And how much pain can two hearts endure, before they are torn apart forever?
My Opinion
Before I started reading this I had seen some great reviews so I went into this with high expectations. If I tell you that I have already recommended this to my book club then you will know that it lived up to them. This is the first book I have read by Melissa Wiesner but I already know that it will not be my last.
Melissa has written some great characters and you can really feel their emotions as we follow Anna and Gabe through the years. I found myself getting frustrated in places, and wishing I could shout at the characters. This is a real page-turner (or the equivalent for an audiobook), I had over 7 hours to listen to one morning and couldn't bring myself to stop listening until I knew how it all ended.
Rating 5/5
