I was given this book as an ARC for an honest review!This book gets 5 HEART WRENCHING stars from me!!!I am going to try and leave a review without getting to emotional on you. I am not sure how that is going to go over, but I will try!In the beginning you meet Tessa and her family, and her friends. She is a senior in High School and is smart, and beautiful and has her share of her problems, her family is falling apart and she is trying her best to hold it together.On the first day she meets Lucas, she ignores him and she does it well.:) She is not your typical conquest and does not give in easy, but I think that is one of the things that draws Lucas to her, she is pure, and real and loves with all she has. He can sense that the moment he lays eyes on her.She in turn has a strong pull to Lucas that she has never felt with anyone else. And this is where the story begins and Lucas and Tessa fall in love.  It is beautiful and heart wrenching, and sad, and OMG!!They have their problems from the beginning and I do believe that they are really never meant to be truly happy.  But they love, love deeper then anything, and Lucas is her first kiss. Her first love. Her first heart break.  He will be in her soul forever.This book is not about sex. It's not about how two people fall in love because they have a physical attraction, it is about being young and how you feel when that boy looks at you and you just know that you will never be the same.  It is about taking chances and learning that sometimes when you take the chance you still end up being destroyed by your heart. By the boy or girl that you love the most.True love, first love never dies.  Lucas and Tessa.  Have so many problems and just want to be together, but sometimes you don't get what you want. And you end up with nothing but a shredded heart.SO MANY feels!! I still have a hole in my chest the size of a boulder!! I got so attached to these characters and ALL of them not just Lucas and Tess!!SO if you are looking for a happy book that is going to put a smile on your face at the end of the book, well  I have to say to you "move on" you won't find it here.  What you will find will have you laughing, and crying and cheering and getting angry right along with Lucas and Tessa.This book is heart wrenching and I cried more then a few times. I am not a crier, but I read another book a few months back and it seems to have opened those flood gates and now I can't stop.  When I read this last page of this book I wanted to take my kindle and throw it, I actually screamed, and stomped like a 5 year old and my 21 year old daughter says to me "Mom you know they are just characters right?"  AND I replied " You do not understand, NO they are not just characters!!"  and then just shut up because she will never understand.  I have a book hangover!!! I miss them already.Thank you for writing this book.. Thank you for making me feel like a part of me has died (I think) ! And thank you for releasing the next book so quickly so I don't have to wait to read what happens next..A DEFINITELY MUST READ!!!
