I love a good, sweet book and this one doesn't disappoint. I have to admit it wasn't quite what I expected. It follows Grace and Ian, starting from high school until three years after graduation, and it has a gritty realism to it. The emotion is well done and the characters are well painted, including some really great secondary characters. The beginning honestly reminded me of when I was a teenager, and falling in love for the first time. I liked Grace and Ian was a really great hero. He's very beta and  you know, I love me a beta hero. Neither one is perfect; both have their flaws and this is where the grittiness comes in. There's a realism to this one I don't read a lot. It's refreshing.The story isn't without its problems, but it's an emotional roller coaster that's well worth your time. Grace and Ian's story takes you for a ride that will have you on the edge of your seat and leave you breathless. Great first book. The ending ends on a hook, so be prepared to want the second one. ;)**Disclaimer** I received this book in exchange for an honest review. A positive review wasn't promised.
