Hope made a big mistake 6 years ago and it cost someone their life. She goes to prison to pay for that, now she's out but she doesn't feel like she can ever forgive herself or that she deserves to be forgiven. The first night she gets out of prison she meets Wes. He is not very nice but that's fine with Hope since she doesn't feel like she should be treated well. He starts out using her but even right from the first down inside he knew she was different.This book is done in first person but from both of their point of views. Right from the beginning I felt bad for Hope and tried to like Wes. I actually did like him even though he was an ass but not really a total one so that made it easier to like him. I am not sure I could have liked him if it were not written the way it was by having both of them telling their story. I sat and read this pretty well all the way through and enjoyed it all the through.Hope really needs to figure out she matters and while helping other people understand the problem with bullying she is making a difference. Wes needs to learn that you can love someone and they are not going to leave you. This book is about both of them learning to care about themselves and for others, it's very well written and makes you walk in their shoes.
