This is the first book I've read in this series and I can't believe it. I need to go back and read the first 3! This was so emotional at the end, I had to hide my tears.

Tally has known her professor, Ashton, for a long time. Ashton has been in love with her for that whole time, but stayed away because she was too young for him. But that all changes after their first kiss (that shouldn't have happened at the time it happened).

The secrets that Tally holds are so emotional and it's very easy to see why she holds it close to her chest. I was so mad at her sister for leaving her kids and then when understanding comes... That anger goes away. But the answer for what Tally went through... That will stay with me for a long time, it's heartbreaking.
