I really liked this book! It was a different story told, so that was refreshing..This was the story of Paige and Logan.When Paige was 15 her brother Trace was killed. It was accidental, but when its your brother, you cant see it that way. She and Trace were very close. After losing him, her mom went into a depression, her dad became a mean drunk. Then 2 years after losing Trace, she lost her mom. After graduating high school she heads off to college, but not to follow her dreams. No. Shes going to follow Trace's dreams since he's not here to do it hisself. She goes to his college of choice. To major in marketing, his career of choice.First day of classes, and who does she come across?? Her brothers killer, Logan Xavior.What follows is the process of letting go, moving on and finding yourself. Paige has had so much hatred built up against Logan. He took her brothers life afterall. She sees him as this arrogant rich kid who got off because of his hotshot lawyer dad. She didnt count on Logan being the complete opposite. She meets two girls, her suitemates Bailey and Tess, who become great friends to her. Her roomie is a slutbad and totally selfish.Logan.....he's lived the past 3 years trying to do good things. Keeping himself at arms length with other people. Working, going to school, living by himself. He's also doing good deeds. But Logan keeps himself tortured. He has never forgotton or forgiven himself for taking Trace's life. His family, they have completely let him down and he's basically out there on his own. He never thought he'd come face to face with the girl who spit in his face at one time.... Paige Zokowski, Trace's little sister.Paige cant believe of all places, she's in college with this guy. Logan is waitng for Paige to tell everyone his secret and ruin what life he's built. Where will he have to flee to next? How can he start all over again? What neither of them planned on, was getting to really know eachother. As much as she wants to avoid him, she's finding out he's not the bad guy she thought he was. And holy crap, he's goregous! They get thrown together through a common grief group, and also work together. Slowly, they both develop feelings for the other.(well slow on her part) Logan knows there's no way she could ever like him, let alone be with him or love him. And Paige, how would her dad and her bff Kayla feel knowing she likes her brothers killer? Paige fought her feelings as long as she could. Until she realized there wasnt anything to be conflicted about.I loved how this story was told in alternating POV. I dont think i could have stood not knowing what was going on in each of their minds as things unfolded. The moment Paige takes her life into her own hands, I was mentally clapping for her! Finally, these two deserve a damn break in life. I think you will like the journey they both took to finding themselves, redemption, forgiveness and eventually love. There is a little incident with Einstein that will make you bite your nails, but remember this is a HEA.
