*I was given a copy of this book for free for my opinion*Sophia has dealt with a lot of loss in her life; her mom died, her best friends are no longer around and she has a $hitty boyfriend.  To say she has a few issues is an understatement.  Finally after her boyfriend Kyle beats her again, she decides to leave.  With her bff Erin at her side, she moves on with her life. Around that same time her best friends come back.  They rekindle their friendship.Sophia and Adam have a rocky relationship.  He wants to do everything he can to protect her and keep her safe and she keeps running away.  After the second time of her running away, if I was Adam, I probably would have said Thank Goodness, cause Sophia is a big ball of messed up.  Some how he keeps hanging out, waiting to pick up the pieces again.  Sophia finds out that the company she was hired at, is run by her boyfriend, his brother and their dad.  Of course she has another  temper tantrum.  Because no one told her.  Why not just have a grown up conversation about it?Kyle, the ex boyfriend keeps turning up and stalking her.  He just can't understand it's over.  No matter how many times Sophia tries to tell him, he just doesn't get it.  This part of the book is the most realistic and well written part.  He beat her down mentally and physically to the point where she is just a door mat and can't see past his words.  When she finally realizes he doesn't have any power over her, it's like a breath of fresh air.  She at that point becomes a character to me that I want to read about and learn about.At one point, I was like she traded one bad relationship for another one.  Adam, her boyfriend keeps her locked in the apartment and doesn't let her live her life.  I understand he wants to protect her, but she needed to live too.  He needed to trust her, not lock her away and expect her not to freak out.
