received a digital copy of this book from the publishers via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Liam Tate was a teenager when he fell in love with Cadie Knox. But Cadie's father disapproved of the relationship and broke up the couple, keeping them apart. 19 years later, Cadie enters Liam's life again but this time revealing a secret - they had a son.

I thought this was going to be a sweet, romantic story but unfortunately it fell flat. There were way too many elements from other well known books in this one for it to feel original and it ended up stale and boring. Cadie and Liam's teenage relationship was totally The Notebook. I also feel we got very little of any actual substance in the relationship besides a bit of attraction. Ten same happened when they were older. They didn't seem to have a lot of proper conversation and I also couldn't understand how Liam could be okay with Cadie keeping a son secret for 20 years. Cadie's parents treatment of Aidan and their response to Cadie's sickness and death was also a bit far fetched for me.

I skim read a lot of this and found very little of it actually any good.
