SYNOPSIS
The first lie I told myself was that he was just an old friend. I wish it had been the only lie because the other lies would destroy us all.
I close my eyes as I hear him speak. I take one very long and deep breath hoping to calm the immediate butterflies that take flight in my stomach and hope to slow down the racing of my heart. The voice was slightly deeper but the timbre was one that was achingly familiar.
My actions did little to help, but then who was I kidding? A deep breath wasn't going to fix the effect he had on me and my body's inevitable reaction. Even the memories that would forever haunt me couldn't keep my emotions from triggering at the nearness of him once again.
I used to pray that I'd find the strength to move on from him, from the pain that the end carried, from the emptiness in my chest, but ultimately move on from—the loss of Creed Sullivan and the death of his sister, Cora.
The Sullivans had been the best part of my summers in New England.
Deep down, I always knew my ache for all that I had lost was the reason I returned...
But I hadn't expected to see him again—especially not like this.
It has been a long time since I read anything by this author and it has been very nice to return to her, to her stories that seem very common and normal, I think that is precisely what I like about her.
In this book we will meet Sailor and Creed whose youthful love is broke apart by tragedy. What happens to them leaves wounds that separate and force them to deal with pain in a different way.
Sailor has to get therapy in order to overcome what happened and move on with her studies and life. And she succeeds, or almost.
She has a life and future planned with her new boyfriend Criff who seems to be a man who has always been there for her but maybe his only mistake in their story is the little time he is dedicating to Sailor because of he's medical studies. That and the fact that Creed reappears in her present life will shake up her very planned future.
Creed has moved on, dealing with the loss and the guilt have led him down a different path and away from Sailor but seeing her again allows him a second chance, one he won't let pass.
If there is a but for this story it is that Sailor and Creed's reencounter is not clear and honest with the people around them involved, that and the almost unnecessary drama at the end have seemed to me (the latter) very surreal and I felt like I was getting lost after how beautiful and normality the story had seemed to me until then.
It is very little or compared to everything I have liked about the book that these small details do not make me stop being happy to read this author again, and I am sure that this time I will not let so much time go by to return to her.
So I do recommended this book, I love second chance romances and this here is one of them with a happy ending.
Thank you to the author, The Next Step PR and NetGalley for providing an ARC, I’m freely give my honest review.
Until the next book :)
