I received this book courtesy of the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for a honest reviewA sweet and quick, perfect for summer read!The Moment We Began is the story of Penny and Mason. Penny has known Mason since she was a child and has loved him almost as long as she has known him. A year ago, they make a drunken "mistake" that they continue throughout the year. Penny loves Mason so much that she would rather have him, if only in her bed, than not have him at all. She is just stupid, insecure, or maybe lonely enough to continue in their non-relationship even as he continues to flaunt girl after girl in front of her and telling her he will never settle down. The brief moments of passion they share are enough for her.... at least that's what Penny keeps telling herself.Penny is a rich girl, like mega rich. Annoyingly spoiled (at least at first), but with a huge heart. She has the typical rich girl syndrome we see in novels. She doesn't know who she is outside of her money and is afraid no one will like her, the real her, if all that is taken away.Mason is the regular play boy, at least that is what he shows everyone. After a fight with Penny and an accident, he decides he needs a break from this lifestyle.Penny's life is turned upside down and she decides she needs a change. It's time she quits allowing her overbearing parents to control her and fight for what she wants.This was a super quick and enjoyable read. I really did like it and plan on reading the others in this series. I want to see what happens and meet new characters. I went back and forth on what to rate this book. I only gave it 3 to 3.5 stars because it just didn't knock my socks off. It was likeable and enjoyable, but not a story that's going to stick with me, that I will be thinking about or remembering. However, that being said it was pleasurable and definitely worth the read!
