Review: A wonderful but difficult love story

Nick and Callie's love was very real and very deep and very much in trouble.  Both characters were imperfect but likeable.  They had realistic reactions to several extremely difficult situations and I loved watching them slog through the dark and muddy emotions and somehow find the strength to pull themselves into forgiveness.  As a reader, I really felt their struggles but better yet, I felt the resulting strength and depth of their love.Parts of this book were uncomfortable.  Some of the scenes dealing with the girl who brought the charges of sexual misconduct were hard to read, but handled appropriately.  In a different part of the story, I was completely disgusted and angered by a flashback of a stupid choice made by a character, but by that point in the book I'd come to know this character well enough that their redeeming qualities kept me from hating them.This book was well-written and nothing was overdone or sensationalized.  I will definitely be looking for more from this author.I received a complimentary copy this book in exchange for my honest review.
