A story that involves a family full of sorrow, resentment, regrets, anger, and loss.  A sad small-town romance about second chances and mending relationships with your loved ones. 

The town was filled with so many toxic mindsets and hateful energy towards both characters because of their past and their decision to see each other. That's what bothers me the most is how the main conflict is the town and how they wouldn't mind their business. I get that they couldn't leave because of their families, but the way they dictated their life was shocking. 

The romance felt flat to me since I was so reminded of how Cam who is the love interest tells her every chapter that she is too good for him, and he doesn't deserve her, and everyone is going to hate her if she dates him. Cut the crap right now with all that excuses, If he truly wanted her, he would've fought, despite the hate and negative talk they've been hearing. I get that he has a past and he gets blamed by the town for that past but it wasn't his fault and he just let it get through him.

Xander who is Cam's older brother has so many negative motives and he's like the older brother who wants to destroy his other siblings. Even his family is toxic and I understand the slight reason for it because of Cam's past but his family and the way he gets treated by them is so unfair since it's not his fault that situation happened.

Both characters deserved better, they just really need to get the hell out of that town.
