I absolutely loved watching Tate and Sam fall in love as young adults.
Tate’s life had been so sheltered and there was a huge hole that was partly a result of that sheltering. Living a life where she couldn’t tell all her secrets, she finds herself opening up to Sam without a second thought even as she’s falling in love. But when all her secrets are blasted out for everyone to see, her young heart is broken and life takes a decidedly different turn.
’He’s the one who taught me what love looked like and felt like and then taught me it’s a lie.’
This is written in two parts. The young Tate and Sam and the present Tate and Sam, fourteen years later. I adored the young Tate and Sam. They were fun and engaging and shared all their thoughts, hopes and fears. It was everything you expect to read in a first love story. Of course, the heartbreak was sure to follow – second chance romance, right? I felt Tate’s devastation and pain when Sam betrays her and I could only cross my fingers that he either didn’t do it, or he had a very good reason to do so.
Fast forward fourteen years and this couple meet again. The angst is high, the uncertainty gnawing at me, and I couldn’t put my kindle down. And then, it just all kind of fizzled out. There was barely any Tate and Sam time, no real getting to know you again, no real connection. There was certainly animosity on Tate’s part and that fed a good part of the book. But the romance took a backseat to her dissecting her thoughts and emotions not only about Sam, but about her relationship with her father.
This was a nice, enjoyable read but I did skim a bit when I just wanted to get on with the story, with Tate and Sam. I wanted to love every word here, and they are beautiful words, but I read this for the romance and it was lacking in the second half of the book. Of course, there are some freaking amazing secondary characters and I loved them all while hating the ones I was supposed to hate, but again…I wanted more of this couple.
Nevertheless, this was a good read and one I’m sure their die-hard fans will adore
