Emmy has been hurt, she has been broken, her spirit has been destroyed by someone who shouldn’t have. She had the chance to escape and go to college. A place where she could be someone else and be someone who didn’t know her past. However, the past has found her. Sterling has known Emmy for years, he is also out to destroy her for what she supposedly did to his best friend. They go to the same school and he has made it his mission to destroy her…until he finds out the truth.

I like Emmy. She even though she is broken, hurt and has lost some of her shine she is trying to live her life and move on from her past and hopefully begin to love herself again. Sterling I hated at the beginning. He truly just wanted to hurt Emmy, even though he only knew one side of the story and the side of the story that made Emmy out to be bad. Despite everything going on in the beginning there is still some chemistry between Emmy and Sterling. I loved seeing how their relationship slowly changed throughout the course of the story.

I loved the secondary characters that quickly formed bonds with Emmy (Stella, Gabe and Zach). I loved that they added to the story and they quickly become people she could lean on and feel comfortable with.
