This book was an emotional read.  In fact I got so mad at the main character Everleigh, that I almost threw my kindle in frustration.  Everleigh is the daughter of wealthy parents and engaged to a wealthy man.  She has been raised to be proper and polite as her upper class society dictates.  Her parents are oblivious to the torture that Everleigh is put through by her manipulating fiancé.  There is no happiness or hope for her, until she meets William in her English Literature class.  William is immediately smitten, which makes him adorable.  Everleigh, or Evie as she becomes, begins seeing the life and love she could have if she wasn't engaged to Tom Whitney.  Her fear keeps her in the engagement as do her parents who are in denial.  Yet she steals every moment she can for William.  Evie falls for William even though she knows she can't have him.  Then she soon realizes what her fiancé is capable of and fights back.  Here comes my frustration, she fights and then deflates being back where she began, questioning herself and her relationship with William.  It drove me crazy to read.  I even had to put it away for a bit when she ended up back with Tom.  I was a very unhappy reader at that time.  Of course the author didn't disappoint with an awesome ending but the journey there is, as I said, an emotional one.  I know many of you will like this book.  It is a total emotional roller coaster ride.
