Layken's father died suddenly, leaving her to gather every ounce of strength to be a pillar for her family, in order to prevent their world from falling apart. Now her life is taking another unexpected turn...

Layken's mother gets a job which leads to an unwanted move across the country. However, a new home means new neighbours... and Layken's new neighbour is the very attractive Will Cooper.

Will has an intriguing passion for slam poetry, and a matching passion for life. The two feel an irresistible attraction but are rocked to the core when a shocking revelation brings their romance to a screeching halt. Layken and Will must find a way to fight the forces that threaten to tear them apart...or learn to live without each other. 



I never wanted to read this book, i thought it might be more like poetry from what i had heard of it and that really isn't what i like to read but after reading November 9, i really wanted to read another Colleen Hoover book, and i chose this book and i am so glad that i did and that i went in knowing nothing. 

This book falls into one of those book categories that took me completely by surprise and i the plot twists and all of the drama and it was magically written like all of the other Colleen Hoover books i have read and yes it did have poetry in it but it was Slam Poetry and to me that isn't real poetry but it has such an impact and the way it is so integral to the story

The characters were again brilliantly written and so relatable and the cutest little boys and the way they act they bring a comedic lightness to this book that has a lot of hurt and and a lot of sadness. There is so many twist and turns i am so glad i didn't know anything about this book because it was an amazing experience to feel everything without knowing the truth and anticipating everything that was going to happen. 

I don't know if i am going to carry on with this series because i just feel like i want to leave it there, i liked the ending and i don't want to delve back into this world because for me it was wrapped up perfectly and i just wonder if it is worth it to ruin a perfectly good ending by reading more of this series. 

This book was a fun, quick, emotional read and one i would recommend readily because of its phenomenal writing style and its story and characters are well worth the read.

Until Next Time
Happy Reading
