I really like this book. The story just seem to flow so effortlessly. Quinn and Maureen lost their parents when they were very young. Their aunt (Their father's sister) raised them as if they were her own. Maureen grew up with the better looks and had lots of friends, but Quinn was the one who had all the smarts. The Aunt seem to favor Quinn more though, probably because Quinn reminded her of herself. Anyway...Quinn always looked up to her big sister, while Maureen took anything Quinn got her hands on--- including her boyfriend. But like Maureen states in the story, beware of what you ask for...because you might just get it. Turns out Maureen got the boyfriend alright, but he turned out to be a real jerk. Quinn left home for 10 years trying to avoid the happy couple, but if she'd stayed home she would have seen that she was the lucky one... because it seems that she managed to dodge a bullet.When she does return 10 years later, her Aunts boarder... Peter takes an instant dislike to her, but then the feelings are sort of mutual. That is...until they bury the hatch and learn more about each other, and why they act the way they do. Peter is hiding from his own past, a past that he's never told anyone about.My only complaint is that this story seemed to end a little too abruptly. It would have been nice to have an epilogue at the end. There were a few questions about the story, that I would have like answered and I think if there had been even a short epilogue, those could have been cleared up.Would I recommend this book? Yes!
