I love a tender, clean story packed with emotion. Lauren is in a marriage where she give 110% and he give 5%. Her marriage crumbles when she finds out some devastating news about her pregnancy. A good portion of the story is seeing Lauren rebuild her life, learn to trust again, and to move forward. Even though I haven't been in a situation like Lauren's, I could relate to her. I understand why she wants to rely on herself and learn to stand on her own two feet. I understand why she feels she has something to prove. Her mother is there for her, yet she yearns to be independent and to come out on top. I could feel the embarrassment she felt in certain situations and the jealousy she felt towards her sister's seemingly perfect life.Ethan, her teenage crush and friend who's mother just passed away, is such a patient man! He does what he can to help Lauren and is such a good friend to her. Everyone needs a friend like him during a difficult time.There are some serious issues discussed in this book and I thought the author did a wonderful job in dealing with them. The emotions involved are real, yet it didn't come off across as too heavy and depressing. I thought the last few chapters were the best!Content: no language; no violence; some kissing. Clean!**I received a copy from the tour host in exchange for an honest review**
