3.5 stars reviewedI’ve read a lot of cheating books. I don’t have a problem with it…reading it…that is!! LOLThis book was different. It wasn’t all about the sex or all the normal cheating stuff we read nowadays. This book was more on the emotional side of the cheating.Cameron & Hope have major history. Being each other’s first loves.They make promises to each other before going off to different colleges.Promises that ultimately will be broken.Both moving on with their lives… And when they least expect it…They come back into each other lives & to which sets off a range of emotions for both of them.Doing things to hurt other people. But, still always ending up badly for both of them.Hmmm…I really wasn’t feeling Hope. I know Cameron messed up things in the way he left Hope.(He really was a jerk for how he did it!)what he did is all his fault as to why the relationship went south… Between Hope & himself.He set Hope up for a life time of hurt & self doubt.But… Every time their paths crossed…She played this game that all women play.The “prove how bad you want me game”show me, tell me, fight for me.I don’t know… Every time Cameron would try to show her… Talk to her…She was like the ice queen. She hardly showed Cameron anything. Maybe… That’s why I couldn’t really get into her.It’s like she wanted him… But she just couldn’t let her self relax & enjoy him.. Because she was still so upset for what he did to her all those years ago.I also thought Cameron was extremely selfish. I wasn’t really feeling him either….lolI would not be able to forgive him. What he did to Hope… Is truly unbelievable & very hurtful. Especially…because they were so in love!How can you do that to the person you love??How can anyone get past that??!!I know I couldn’t!!And as for Riley… She married a man  that she knew was in love with another women. I think if you go into a marriage with that kind of information…. Your just setting yourself up for heart ache. You have no one to blame but yourself.But…I’m not going to lie….This book had me aggravated and frustrated! I just wanted to scream at both of them!!!…lolI think a lot of people can relate to a book like this… The “ones that got away”… The “what if’s”. I think those two questions could eat a person alive! Causing you to sit down and think about your past. What if you did things differently or handled things differently.I think a lot has to do with the way you handled the situation with that certain person you did those things to. To me….It’s regret. It’s hard to move on from that.Cameron handled things poorly & Hope couldn’t move on.In the end…I felt good about how the book ended. It was kind of sad. But.. It all worked out.I really like how the book flowed. I liked how it went back & forth between the past & the present.Giving you the whole story. I was bouncing back-and-forth with my emotions between Cameron & Hope.Over all it was a good read!would I read more books by this author…Yes, I would!!
