I knew this series would lead me to a 5 star review !! The synopsis had me with the past , present future bit !! I am a sucker for the childhood sweetheart thing and especially when a huge chunk of time has gone by and they are finally brought back together !! This book has that and so much more !!Melissa came back to town when her twin sister , Ali's baby was kidnapped. We know get Melissa's story. I LOVE MELISSA !! Love the background, Melissa and Brian , Ali and Mark childhood sweethearts suppose to go on and live happily ever after married with children. We know this happened for Ali and Mark , though it did not last , but why not Melissa and Brian ?? Well in the midst of this childhood fourseome came Julie....best friend to all but also a very lonely girl.Melissa goes off to school but her and Brian plan to stay together and pick up where they left off in a matter of years. That is until Julie steps in....now in the present we have Brian and Julie married for 17 years with 2 great kids ?? Melissa has been gone for 17 years and now back they have to face their ruined relationships and try to salvage them best they can. In the meantime things are happening with Brian's daughter Erin that only Melissa knows about. Brian's life is slowly falling apart and all Melissa can do is watch while she tries to finally build a happy relationship with Chase. Not so easy once Brian catches his wife cheating and then loses her in an accident. I mean talk about twists and turns , I swear this all happens in the first few chapters.This story has so many parts to it. Brian cannot pick up the broken pieces of his life without Melissa's help , she is more than willing to oblige. This leads them to many heart to heart conversations and some admissions that may finally piece together the past 17 years and bring them to a new beginning. The bigger story comes towards the end....Erin's story is heartbreaking. What she went through , what she saw , secrets she kept and finally when it all comes to a head and the truth comes out. We see this whole gang come together to help this family heal and find happiness.
