“I’m sorry your dad died.” Lucas says.Lindy wipes the tears from her face. “Me too.”“I’ll share my dad with you.”What happens when you grow up as part of the 'Three Musketeers' only to get to high school and have Lindsey, even with her beautiful blond hair and grassy green eyes, she is an very overweight, socially awkward, extremely intelligent, bottle cap glasses wearing geek.Tara, a size 6 Band 'Cool' geek who is very attractive and super sweet.Lucas, hot as hell quarterback, black haired with baby blues that have all the girls wanting him and all the boys wanting to be him.....Read 'Windows' to find out!!You know it's going to be a GREAT book when the prologue has you a little teary!After growing up together as children of police fathers, they have a special bond especially when Lindys dad is killed in acton when she is just 9 years old, however these three drift apart in school, the girls stick together, however Lucas starts pulling away to the point of no longer talking to them at all in public! Douch right!! Well it gets even better / worse, he sneaks into her bedroom through the window of a night to talk and make sure she is ok!! Somehow thinking that will make up for him calling her a fat piggy etc..... Argh I hated him!!! I wanted to punch him so hard in the face no one would find him attractive anymore!!( did I still secretly want them together....YES!!)After a DESPICABLE act at a party the night before leaving for collage the girls no longer have ANY contact with Lucas.Fast forward 4 years.......Lucas, after an injury hisSophomore year forces him off the field and therefore out of his scholarship he moves home and after some ups and down starts work at a motorbike shop.Lindsey, after headaches force her to have laser eye surgery, and the struggles of being a student leave her with a diet of ramen noddles and peanut butter sandwiches, well yep you guessed it, this blond haired, green eyed girl is now glasses free and a tinny tiny size 7! Can you say KNOCKOUT?!? She is Also a fully qualified teacher.Tara is still besties with Lindsey after being at collage together she is now a nurse and they are living together back in their hometown .These first few parts from both POVs of the return home are RAW! I had quite a few teary moments and then this, had me in full tears!"He hurt me mom. He hurt me worse than all those stupid high school bullies put together. I loved him, and he broke my heart.""He said something that showed me all those years of friendship was just a lie. It also proved that all those kids were right. I am nothing. Just the ugly piglet.” Her voice breaks, and I can hear her crying."It wasn't a lie."Gosh, utterly heart wrenching!!Struggling to pay rent in the big house the 'Dads' decide Lucas is moving in with them, not only to help with rent, but all being police officers, they want their babies Protected!Kelsey is a horrid horrid person! She made Lindsey's life a living hell throughout school, and now as an adult. I did feelbad for her in regards to what happened between her and Lucas at first. I just though she was a little out if it, hell was that an understatement!!I won't give to much away, but I will say this girl brings a lot to the novel!!Kelseys father wow, we know where she gets her crazy! George Reynolds and his daughter are two peas in a pod!There were some parts that made me lol!!“Sure, the TV vampire could get his soul back and come down here to marry you. That kind of shit happens every damn day.” I say, as I start to laugh harder.The 'Mirror Man'Creepy!! Slashing mirrors in young ladies houses and assaulting them! When all is revealed, I'll just say it wasn't who I first thought!!I loved the relationship between Lindsey and Lucas.It wasn't forced, it just flowed beautiful. From where they started to where they ended I willSay they took the long way around, for something that could have been so so simple!I LOVED the quotes from when they were kids!“When I get married, I’m going to wear a pink wedding dress.” Lindy says.Lucas shakes his head at her. “You can’t. Wedding dresses are white.”“I don’t care. I like pink.”The reference to one of my ALL TIME favourite books 'Beautiful Disaster' *sigh*The epilogue, gosh what can I say besides beautiful!I can't not wait for Tara and Daniels story.Thank you Emily for asking me to beta your first solo baby. It truly was my pleasure."
