**I received this book as an ARC in return for my honest review**

I loved this book so much! It comes very close to Hard To Handle for me. This story is different than most love stories, in that the main plot isn’t the road for both characters to get together. This book focuses more on finding truth, finding love, and dealing with life-altering events. It’s a modern Romeo and Juliet.

Brexton and Drew were already falling in love in their childhood, and when they meet again, they fall even deeper, in spite of their families having been at odds for years. Drew has been living with his family keeping secrets for so long, never being sure what exactly happened that made all their lives the way they are. I loved that he didn’t fight the connection he had with Brexton, even knowing the trouble it could bring. She helped him with his problems, simply by being there. She doesn’t push, she doesn’t force her opinion or her side of the story, she lets Drew figure things out on his own when he asks for space, but she makes sure he knows that she is there for him. She is his calm in the storm. I can’t even imagine having such a big secret as a parent, and knowing there is one as a child. I’m proud of Drew for taking the steps he did, and confronting the people to finally find out the truth. All while falling in love and still finding the beautiful moments in life.
