I knew I had to read the book because it took place in Seattle and I love reading books that take place where I live. But it wasn't the setting that won me over in this book, it was everything. Brooke Moss' writing style is exactly what I love to read. The pacing was perfect, the tension was perfect, the emotions were perfect. Violet Murphy is my kind of character. She's funky, fun, and not ashamed of who she is even though she had something horrific happen to her as a teenager that helped shape her into the woman that she has become.Although this is a romance and you know that there will be a happily ever after, I was never sure who Violet was going to get her happily ever after with. It easily could have been Landon or Gabriel, although I was always rooting for Gabriel given their history, even when he didn't deserve to win her heart. Hopefully though Landon will get a happily ever after somewhere down the line (please write it for us Brooke Moss so we know that it happens). Violet's past was handled really well given what happened to her. I loved seeing the diary entries at the beginning of each chapter that gave us a little insight into who Violet was before and directly after what happened.This was such a great book, one of my favorite discoveries and I can't wait to see what else Ms. Moss has to offer. I can definitely see myself rereading this book along the way because I felt like I connected with Violet. She reminded me a little of myself and I love that. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves love and fresh characters.Arc provided by Netgalley
