This story is about Maddie and Kyle and how they have been reconnected with each other after years apart. Maddie witnessed Kyle's father murder her parents but was never able to indict him because he was the head honcho of the police dept. After her parents are murdered she is whisked away by her aunt and uncle who tell her she is to cut off all ties with  her eleven year old best friend Kyle. This tears Kyle apart as he continues to phone her and write her for seven years. When they meet in college after so long their feelings for each other has only intensified. But Maddie is having trouble having feelings for the boy who's father killed her parents. Kyle is having trouble getting past her rejection for the past seven years and in the end things come to light that enlightens them both as to what has kept them apart for so long and what actually transpired on that night seven years ago. Their relationship is sweet, and the build up to their physical relationship in so tense you can cut the tension with a knife. The side characters add a lot to the story, especially Kyle's jerk of a cousin. And Maddie's roommate adds some drama that most kids their age have experienced, making the situations that each of the characters are facing very real. I liked the story but I just felt like the end was a little rushed. We find out why her parents are killed, who was involved, some bad occurrences take place and then it's boom happy ending. I would have liked to have seen Maddie be able to process everything that happened in such a short span of time before she lives happily ever after, but that doesn't happen. This is a good read, and I am not discouraging anyone from reading it. I just had my qualms with the rushed ending, but overall I give it 3.5 stars.
