I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review -Thank you Renee Ericson for sending me both books in this series.  I really enjoyed reading them and can't wait for Deciding Tomorrow!The series is about a girl who is really just lost.  Her mom died when she was very young, her dad is an addict, her uncle and cousin aren't much better and she doesn't really have any friends.  She spends her life basically laying low until she turns 18 and can start a new life. In the first book she meets Lexi at a summer camp she works at and they become best friends.  That summer she also meets Brent, who is the type of boy she never imagined would notice her, and they have a very strong and instant connection.  Their relationship builds really fast and Lexi and Brent help her through a lot of difficult situations through her senior year.  After graduation Ruby and Brent head to Chicago to college.Fast forward five years for book 2.  We learn that Lexi and Brent are no longer together.  I liked how the book went back and forth between past and present.  Ruby is working at a steakhouse while completing college and Brent left years ago to be a soccer superstar.  We learn or that reasons they are no longer together and the book was written so well that my heart truly hurt for them in the story.  Brent shows up in Chicago for a soccer game and ends up eating in the restaurant where Ruby is working.  Fate has brought them together and we watch Ruby try to handle the situation she is in.The story leaves us waiting to find out what will happen next and I for one am on the edge of my seat.Great story.
