Ah, I love reading a book from a male's point of view.  I always find it to be a refreshing change.  I find it interesting to be able to get inside of a male's head and read what he is thinking and feeling.  That could even be a little scary.I found that spending the evening with Michael Matthews thoughts were very enlightening.  He took us through his whole life starting at the age of seven years old with all of his ups and downs with his one true love Katherine Moore.  They were childhood best friends, high school sweethearts and even each other's first lovers.  Then when times got hard and he lost someone close to him he pushed Kate and everyone else who cared for him away.  To me, it seemed like he didn't know how to deal with the pain and everybody from his past were always there reminding him of what he lost.Michael has been on his own for almost four years.  He can't find the nerve to go and speak to the family and friends he left behind.  So, instead he finds other ways to help himself cope.  Whether it's being lost in a woman or even lost in a bottle of something.  Nothing mattered as long as it helped him forget for the night.  He always had a different girl who he would leave in the morning.  Nobody could get close to his heart.  Only one person had it and that's the way it was going to stay.He became close to some guys that he met at a party one night after leaving home and he considered them not only to be his friends but his brothers as well.  They took him in with open arms even though he was going through some past issues they never pressured him to talk.  He always knew he could go to them when he was ready.  No matter what.  There were days when he was a complete jerk to them and he was afraid he would lose the only family he had left.  It surprised Michael that they still stuck around. They were brothers for life.He thought about Kate and his best friend Jess everyday for those past four years.  They may have been out of his life but they were never forgotten.One night at a party Michael finally sees Kate for the first time in years.  Needless to say he was shocked and didn't know what to do. Then karma comes around and gives him a big kick in the butt and now he has no idea on what he is going to do with his life or who is going to have to hurt next.  He wants Kate back but he is unsure if she still loves him and or wants to take him back.
