Amy is the main character whose dad has passed away unexpectantly from a heart attack and she's left to take care of her younger brother, Luke. Her mom also took off from their lives unexpectantly to shack up with several different husbands. Low & behold, Amy wasn't handed things on a silver platter-she knows what she wants in life and works hard for it without expecting any handouts--I love this about her!! Enter Ryan *sigh* he also has worked his ass off since he was young and has become successful because of it--this is why I love him--oh and he just sounds so edible!!! At times I wanted to slap Amy because of her back-n-forth between Ryan and her high school boyfriend, Hunter she runs back into. But seeing how this plays out is important to understand how Amy has to start making decisions based on what her instincts tell her are best for her. So although the back & forth had me shaking my kindle at times--it was beautiful to witness in the end. I loved the ending, but it was too abrupt for me...I wanted to keep reading. Suffice it to say, I hope there's a sequel as everything at the end seemed rushed. I loved the character history and how the description of Amy's past has impacted her present, especially her relationship with her Mom. I'd love to see a story about Luke...(no pressure Paige). Give this one a try!
