I decided I wanted to read this book after reading an excerpt from Sophie's POV. Her childhood neighbor and best friend, Parker, is moving back home. It's not just that though, for years she had hoped he would look at her as more than a friend.  Her hopes had been squashed when the new girl caught his eye...So Parker went his way and Sophie went hers. Unfortunately, Parker's girl cheated on him, got pregnant and married the other guy. He ends up in a terrible accident the same night his girlfriend breaks up with him. His entire future has changed and he's very lucky to be alive.Annnnd, Sophie finds out her husband of two months is cheating on her! Everyone knew but her. Her parents basically blame her for the scandal it caused and moved away. So she decides to move into her old house and make it her new home.Getting to know each other again over beers then dinner at her house, they realize they want this. But they are both still keeping it to themselves, afraid of being rejected. He didn't know of her crush and she had no idea how much he cared for her when they were in school. Well, I just have to say that during a rain shower while standing outside, if she had no idea then, she's figuring out how he feels now. So things are going GREAT and they are both very happy with the way things are going but after their first official date, he up says he has to leave! Bam- I gotta go. I don't want to say much more but at this point I have fallen in love with Parker! When he confesses why he left...sigh. I think it was a first for me in a book.There are some not so easy moments in the book and I have to say when the cheating ex-girlfriend tries to come back into the picture, I really wanted to reach into my kindle and pinch her head off! *Deep breath. I thought it was a sweet story with just enough conflict to make me nervous but not out of my mind, thank goodness. I rate Leave the Lights On 4.5 out of 5 stars.
