Blurb:

Things Miller can’t forget.
With the whirlwind of senior year underway, Jo just wants to move on, get her degree, and land her dream job. But her past might not be as easy to outrun as she’d hoped.

My Take on the Book:
I thought that the ‘awkward’ scenes were done very well. Some of the subject matter dealt with in this book is on the heavier side.
There was a particular scene in the book where I felt a bit sorry for the receiving character (even though I shouldn’t), and wondered if they realized the monumental consequences they had set into motion by the response they had initially given.
I ended up giving this book a five star rating and got an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Last Word:
It’s the first time I’ve read a book by this author – and will definitely be reading more books from her in the future.
Enjoy,
Carmen
