Livie has always loved her older brother's best friend Jake. They secretly hang out throughout his time in high school then joins the Army after graduation. The night he leaves feelings for each other are let know. A year after Jake leaves he stops communicating with Livie, she is hurt but still holds onto those feelings for Jake.On Jake's hero home coming his emotions bounce all over for her. One moment he pulls her in them the next he tries to humiliate and discard her. I don't want to say to much and spoil it for others. But the book does focus on PDSD from Jake's time in the Army and how that has changed him as a person. It also focus's on whether love can concur all.I was on the fence with this book. I found a lot of the conversation between characters a little short. In spots where I wanted more conversation or details it seemed to jump to the next event. Some parts came a crossed rushed. Music was also a large part of this book, each character a new song title, I personally am not a fan of books that have a lot of music references in them, it just isn't my thing. In a lot of areas I found this to be lacking.On saying that there were many moments to that I felt strong emotions to a certain character, that had me reading on wanting to know more.So as I said I was on the fence, I didn't love the story but I couldn't hate it either.
