It needs to be said that I love Dawn Martens. I have loved every book she has put out. I really liked this one, but I felt it went fast. Like really fast. I loved the story, I just wish there was more of it.Jase and Julie were the perfect high school sweethearts. Their love was one that every young girl dreams about. Falling for the star football player and being the girl no one really paid attention to, Julie sees forever with the boy she loves. But like a lot of young romance Jase makes a really bad decision because his life has been touched by tragedy. Although it costs him the only girl he has ever loved, he continues to spiral out of control.After Julie leaves Jase she heads into a life that is rather disturbing. She is married to a powerful and wealthy doctor who is a really really bad person. Julie, her daughter, and her sister in law Bethany get out when a beating goes too far. But going back to Jase and his family is going to be very painful emotionally and she has a lot of explaining to do.I loved the story. Let me be very clear about that. I just wish it didn't feel so rushed. I felt like the relationship with Matty wasn't fleshed out and that there was something that was definitely there, more than a friendship. I know everyone is mad at Jase for how things ended but it had been 9 years and still there were over the top mad. Kristen seemed to blow her stack a lot for reasons I clearly don't understand. There was just so much more to explore. Maybe in the next book there will be more answers.I give this book 3.75 lipsticks...=)
