Getting voted most likely to never leave your hometown - would it make you stay, or even more determined to leave?

For Zoe, that title made her even more determined to get out of dodge, leaving her high school sweetheart Luke behind.

And boy do I love how they have proved the town wrong! But as amazing as her life looks from the outside, she still has her demons, her cross to bear, those who want to drag her down.


And Luke... omg that guy is all kinds of swoonworthy.

I loved the character growth in Zoe as the story progressed, from a character that I liked to a character that I really adored.

I love love love the banter between Zoe, Mel (from book 1) and Jo, the wit and snark that can only come from being best friends.

There were some times that the story just made me want to throw my kindle - not from the writing, just things that characters did!

There is a bit of drama, a bit of suspense and a whole lotta love in Staying For Good. And great build up to Jo's story - Please don't leave us waiting too long Ms Bybee!
