ARC Generously provided by publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.Ivy McAllister had it all, at least from the outside. Ivy had her high school boyfriend whom wanted to be with her forever, the only problem is that she didn't feel the same. Then there was a car accident killing him and leaving her with no memory of that evening. Now two years later Ivy is trying to move on, get away from her home town (whom blame her), and get on with her life. She is concentrating on school and her grades, no room for boys or relationships.Then enters Jon Priestly the exact type of boy that Ivy should stay away from.Jon is a known player on campus, the local DJ star, and even has his own fan club. But there is something about Ivy that speaks to him. He feels like she sees more of him then anyone else. However, Jon has his own screwed up past and having a relationship is not part of his plans.Ivy and Jon fall into a very comfortable friendship and then relationship. Each must deal with their demons and learn to move on to realize they are more then what they believe about themselves. Through each other the learn to love themselves and see themselves as the other sees them.This is a story of learning to love yourself and trust another, especially with your heart.Jon is a great male lead, everyone thinks he is this bad boy, but in reality he is a big sweetheart. Ivy has been running for so long she doesn't realize that if she faces her issues she may actually solve them. Ivy is willing to jump head first with Jon but that scares Jon and he spends quite a bit of time running, it takes her love to break down his defenses and vice versa.This is a fast read and I really enjoyed it, I will say that I felt like everything was tied up really quickly in the end, kind of rushed, I would have liked a little more, but still a good book.
