The emotional distress that Theo and Sofie put me through... I still do not know if I am recovered.

I LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH! And I truly could not put it down. The depth of the history between Theo and Sofie was so palpable I wanted to cry for them. Despite trying his best to stay away from her after feeling betrayed years ago, Theo can't help to be curious when Sofie returns back to their small town years later. Many years ago Sofie and Theo were thick as thieves and madly in love, but out of nowhere Sofie leaves Theo a note and runs away. Completely untracable (Theo definitely tried) and with no real answers, Theo had no choice but to turn that hurt into anger towards Sofie.

Sofie knew coming back was going to be hard, but she needed to try now that she knew she could. Upon returning, she is so hesitant to reach out to Theo (for good reason), but when their paths do eventually cross she knows she will do anything in her power to get his forgiveness.

Sofie's story was so beautifully done. It was not something that could have been rushed out. Theo's patience with her once he slowly starts to get a picture at Sofie's real past was so heartwarming. At the end of the day, Theo could never deny Sofie and I am so happy with how he handled it.

WITH NO THIRD ACT BREAK UP, siblings and a family (on Theo's side), small town bets/gossip this book really kept me on my toes and wanting more after every page. I loved how their story unfolded and it tugged at my heart in alll the right places.

Absolutely beautiful and heart wrenching story, BUT MAN DO I RECOMMEND IT!!! Please read this book asap, if you haven't already!
