Rating: 5 out of 5

This is a prequel type novella that I stumbled upon when I saw what others were reading today. Most are reading Trapped which is the book that comes out today I believe. When I looked up this book I was happy to see it was free on Amazon so of course I immediately downloaded and then devoured this book.I cannot believe how much emotion Kendall drew from me in such a short book. Told in alternating POV's we get Paige and Mitch's story and it is great and painful. The two were high school sweethearts and Mitch is now away at school while Paige is back home at community college. The two continue their relationship until one day everything changes.It is difficult for me to put in to words how I feel. Paige is incredible and strong. She did have on major fubar along the way and while at fault for that, she does her best to go forward. The great thing is Paige has a wonderful support system. I love her friend Erin, and her mom and Mitch's sister are great.Then there is Mitch. I have to say I love the story parts from his POV. To say I am struggling with how I feel about Mitch is an understatement. I get where he is coming from and his fear. What I don't understand is why he can't come to grips with everything before it is too late, and in my mind it is now too late. My emotions are conflicted as I am not sure I want the HEA for this couple in the next book. I really feel for Paige but ultimately she needs someone who will be there for her when she needs it. She has already needed it and Mitch wasn't there. Ugh. This kills me, because like I said I loved Mitch's POV and I do believe he is in pain and struggling. I just don't know that I can accept his actions. Seriously, if I find he lost himself not only in alcohol, I may just lose it with the next book.Definitely a must read book in my opinion
