4.5 starsHave you ever wished that you could go back and have done things differently?Seven years ago, when Callie’s mom had moved her & her sisters away from New Hope, she was supposed to come back to go to the prom with William. She didn’t and now she’s bringing her sisters, Drew & Gabby, back to New Hope to live with their dad. Since her stay was only for a few days to get her sisters settled, she never expected to see William on her first night in town. Sometimes what we least expect, happens, and what is she and William supposed to do with the feelings that don’t seem to have gone away with time.Will wants answers to why she never came back as promised. He still wonders why she broke it off with him the night of the prom and the way she did it.“Oh. My. God. You’re still in love with her.” ~ MaggieI drag my hand through my hair and avoid her eyes. I don’t know what I am. “I see her for the first time in seven years, and I want her back so damn badly - despite all logic. She’s here and she’s beautiful and she owns a piece of me I’d forgotten I even had.” ~ Will“I made so many damn mistakes when you were out of my life. When you left, I lost more than my girlfriend, I lost myself.” He traces my lips with his thumb, and the tenderness in his eyes nearly undoes me. “Be with me, Cally, You’re my compass. My North Star.” ~ WillWill has mad some mistakes in his life. He lost his parents when he was young and was raised by is grandmother, who’s constantly trying to play matchmaker. He’s spent the last few years trying very hard to have the kind of family he lost. But that hasn’t worked out so well with his last two attempts. Now, with Callie back in town, he knows he’s never stopped loving her and he’ll do anything he can to get her back in his life.  I think you'll enjoy seeing just what lengths this guy will go to. I know I did.Callie……where do I begin with this girl. She has been the strong one in her family. Her mom has a drug addiction and a reputation. She’s also passed away, that’s why she’s bringing Drew and Gabby to live with their dad. Her dad is into mantras and finding the good spiritual things in life and Callie and her sisters have paid the price. Callie let Will go because she had no choice. This girl is a survivor and the choices she had to make are ones that have left her feeling very low, unworthy and she keeps that secret hidden. She’s treated very badly by some of the people in New Hope and this has her thinking that she has to get her sisters settled and leave as fast as she can. And I kept hearing “You Don’t Know Her Like I Do” by Brantley Gilbert playing in my head sometimes.There’s definitely no denying that William and Callie still have very strong feelings for each other. And I could feel every tug and pull on my heart while I was absorbed in this story. But when Callie’s past catches up with her, will she still find that William still wants her just as much as before?This story was full of lost love, angst, painful memories, heart flutters and family and friends coming together. I really enjoyed getting lost in Callie and William’s story. I recommend putting this book, as well as Unbreak Me on your to be reads. Looking forward to future books by this author.
