The Promise ( Faith & Friendship) S.L. Jayne♥♥♥♥ 1/2I was given this book as an ARC for an honest review.Many of us can remember making pinky promises with our best friends when we were young, but how many of us can say that those promises held true today, and that they changed our lives as dramatically as Rylee and Ava's did??This was a truly great book that centered around two best friends and how they cope with what life has dealt them. Rylee had been constantly criticized and made to feel absolutely worthless by her step father since she was 6 years old. That causes her to have issues today with self worth and being able to have a relationship with a man. Ava lost her virginity to a boy that she has been in love with since she was very young and his quick dismissal of their act left her devastated and determined to never fall for his playboy ways again. The two move off to CA to get away from their pasts and start new lives.They first meet Matt, a sexy tattooed bartender that has a shared attraction with Rylee. In the meantime Ava meets Reece at a speed dating event, of al places. But is he as sweet as he seems? what happens when the people and the past that they move across the country to get away from reappear in their lives?? I'm not going to tell you that! You will have to read the book to find out. S.L. Jayne, a blogger turned author has certainly proven that she has the incredible ability to write a compelling story that will hold your interest the whole way through. There is no fluff in this book, just solid eloquent writing that leaves you wanting to read more from her. This story will be continued in another book and I for one cannot wait to read it!! I highly recommend you pick this book up soon and read it.. you will not be disappointed!!~Jooge
