I received this book as an ARC in exchange for an honest review.This book was great, and it brought forth a lot of emotions from as a reader. In my opinion those are the best books! The characters were solid, and the story flowed very well and I found it easy to read. The author's writing style was very easy to follow. The only time I found it to be confusing were different times in the book the text didn't always have quotation marks so I had trouble determining if Sophia was having an inner monologue or if she was talking to another character. Eventually, I was able to figure it out through context. I don't fault the author for this, I think this is something that should have been caught during editing. It doesn't take away from the story at all, so it has no bearing on my feelings toward the book or my rating.Sophia is a great character, she can be dumb as a box of rocks sometimes, but I completely understand why. Often times women in her situation tend to feel like things are their fault; when they aren't. There were times during this book that I wanted to slap her back to reality, and I found myself cursing inwardly at her.Kyle just deserved to be put down in my honest opinion. The author did a FABULOUS job writing him, because his character evoked all kinds of emotions for me. There was one scene in particular (early on in the book) where I was kind of hoping Adam would come bursting through the door and save Sophia.Adam and Connor were great characters as well. You could tell how much they both cared for Sophia, and how much they both wanted her back in their lives.Overall, I really liked this book! I think this is a perfect summer read! If you haven't read it. Do yourself a favor and go pick it up. I can't wait to read more from this author!
