This book was purchased and not given as an ARC for reviewI will start my review as stating that this is the first book I read from this author and didn't have any knowledge of her writing style or did I read any reviews.  With that being stated, I was surprised and found the story sweet and much more than I originally thought.  I am a sucker for the hometown girl and the boy that comes back and this is the plot of the story.  However, don't let this simple plot fool you, it is so much deeper than that and  deals with some very heavy issues.  What surprised me the most is the female lead was strong and didn't "insta-love" the football star that came home.  The author actually took us through the journey of having to find what their lives were about and fixing the problems they had.  The book is very PG so you can share it with a book club and between mother/daughter/grandmother.  Actually I would recommend this highly for book clubs because there could be a lot of discussion points (the author drops some hints as to what is going on with both characters so it was fun to unravel that plot).I was able to finish this book in a few hours and the words flowed like poetry sometimes.  Very well written and very well edited, this book is recommended, I am glad that I read it.
