Forgiven is a beautiful love story about letting go and accepting that your past does not control your future. Rebecca Brooke is an ' wonderful author who had me hooked from the beginning. The overriding theme to this book is "Bad things happen to good people. This could not be more true for the two main characters in this story.Caleb is the handsome football player with a past. He keeps to himself and lets no one in. He knows that if anyone were to find out about what haunts him they would run away so instead he runs away first. Angie's childhood was hard and the difficult times are not over. Despite being beautiful and popular she always keeps her past hidden from everyone but her best friend. When Caleb and Angie are partnered up on a class project that neither of them can afford to fail they are forced to spend time together, something Caleb is adamant about getting out of. Angie cannot figure out what it is about her that makes him hate being around her. Although they try to stay apart something keeps pulling them back together. Can they forgive the past in order to have any kind of future?This story was an emotional roller coaster for me. I would go from mad, to ecstatic, to crying and I loved every minute of it. I found the writing to be strong, intense  and witty. The second half of this book had be sitting on the edge of my seat unable to put my kindle down. Although not short at all I read the whole book in one day because it really was just that good!
