This is a story about second chances and choosing to live the kind of life that leaves you with no regrets. It’s about being brave in a scary big world and stepping outside your comfort zone. It’s about first loves, first kisses, and all the other firsts that young love experiences. But above all, it’s about not taking anything for granted.Love will make you reckless. It can drag out parts of you that common sense and fear usually keep hidden away. Because love is selfless and selfish.Abby and Beck’s witty banter made the characters fun. While they were attracted to one another, they were drawn to each other for reasons that went beyond the surface.His default setting was happy. That’s what I loved about Beck. He looked at life like it was a journey, like we were meant to enjoy every step of the way.Abby was given a second chance at life and simply existing was not enough. She struggled with confidence in her decision making skills because most decisions had been made for her up until this point. She was not ungrateful nor was she resentful. Abby just wanted the chance to be young and reckless. She wanted to live for today and not have regrets.I’d been given a second chance. A chance to make dreams and see them through. A chance to make mistakes and fight to make them right.Beck was this incredibly sexy and thoughtful person. He never judged or made Abby feel inadequate for having lived such a sheltered life. He wanted to show her the world so she could experience life to its fullest. I believe they were perfect for each other in every way and I adored how Beck fell for and came to love Abby.This story touched my heart and I thoroughly enjoyed Abby’s journey. There were several emotional moments but I spent a large amount of the story reading with a smile on my face. From the witty banter to Abby’s nave ways, I adored these characters. Even now as I write this review, I am still smiling. This is one of my absolute favorite reads of 2014 and I am looking forward to what is next from RS Grey.I was provided a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.
