"I could dream. Dreams don't hurt but most dreams don't come true either."Elizabeth met and fell in love with Reed her senior year of high school. In the beginning it was a typical high school relationship. What made it better was Elizabeth's best friend Nicole was also dating Reed's best friend. Everything seemed perfect, sure they had their spats and there was an occasional time that Reed was so angry things would go too far, but Elizabeth always felt like it was her fault. On their prom night things went too far. Elizabeth dumps Reed and moves on. She and Nicole go to college together, and have an amazing four years in college together, picking up some new friends along the way. After they graduate from college they all tend to go their separate ways."I pull away from him, looking in my review mirror I see Reed watching as I leave. Can I really do this? He really looks and seems as though he has changed. He even sounds remorseful. I guess time will only tell."Elizabeth and Reed reconnect and things seem pleasant. After a bombshell is dropped on her by her parents, her and Reed seem closer than ever. But will it stay that way? Will she and Reed get her happily ever after?Honestly, I don't blame Elizabeth for feeling the way she felt or for forgiving Reed. I honestly would have to. Abuse is never okay but she wanted to believe the best in him. I found Elizabeth very easy to relate to and I really grew to love her. I don't think she gave herself enough credit. This book goes to show that it is possible to start over. This book has some domestic violence, if this is hard for you to read, I would recommend not reading this book. Other than that I would recommend this book to anyone. It is really good, and a very quick read. I was given a complimentary copy of this book.
