I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.I really enjoyed this book; it was well written and focused on a subject that is not often mentioned in books Mental illness,  (Although saying that this is the second book I have read this week where the main character suffered from the same mental Illness.) It was a book that after a few pages I knew it was going to be emotional and I wanted to read more.The main character Georgia has a few issues; she had a crazy past, suffers from Bipolar, is a college dropout and is living with her brother after spending the last six months in a mental institution.  She knows her faults and is working on trying to make small changes in her life.Then there is Ben is a hockey player, a friend of Georgia's brother Matt, who has just moved into town, he is a sweet guy who is not a player has a sensible head on him.The two are instantly attracted to each other, Ben wants to be more that just friends (even though he has been warned off by her brother Matt) Georgia wants to but is worried how Ben will react once she knows everything about her.  They do start a relationship however it's not easy as while Georgia does open up to Ben about some aspect of the life she does not tell him about the bipolar until much later despite the fact that he gives him many chances to do so.I liked that this book is written from both POV, as I think it needed it and works well. Georgia's POV showed how she was struggling with her own insecurities, her feeling about Ben, her feelings that she would never be good enough for him, and how this relationship was very different from the ones she had before she started taking medication.Ben's POV showed not only how strong his feeling for her were, how he feels about her behavior at times, his feelings of knowing that she was holding something back from him. He didn't wait to push her he wanted her to tell him when she was ready.I will say one part of the book that I felt was too quickly skipped over,  was the month after Georgia had finally opened up to Ben and told him everything. I wanted to know how they both felt, but more so Ben what was he thinking after Georgia told him everything.Overall I liked this one I'm pleased to say that the book doesn't end on a cliffhanger, I was left with questions in a way that left me wanting more. I can't wait to see what happens next.4 Stars
