Delaney moves across the country to start college and escape her past. She's broken and doesn't quite know how to put herself back together or even if she can. Delaney's new roomie, Grace, takes Delaney under her wing, introducing her to shopping, fashion and the best thing of all, her brother Cole. Grace's brother is not a stranger to girls throwing themselves at him, but there's something about Delaney that draws him in and makes him want to take a chance and pursue her. But Delaney's secrets get in the way of their budding relationship and if she can't learn to let Cole in, she will have to let him go.This was a great read. The prologue was very well written and heartbreaking. I liked all the characters from the start and I really liked the friendship that developed between Delaney and Grace. Even though Delaney was very insecure in the beginning, she wasn't whiny and her inner strength still shone through. The fact that she could be broken and strong at the same time was an example of some great character development. Her secret was not as predictable as I originally thought and the reveal in bits and pieces throughout the book was well executed. I would have liked to see a little more of Delaney and Cole's time together and I would have also liked to see a little bit more of what when on in Delaney's life during winter break. Overall, I would recommend this book to friends and I would definitely read more from this author.
