*Description*
After suffering a tragic accident as a child, Maggie Wilson has tried her whole life to regain the happiness she lost. She has been in survival mode ever since, dealing with a mentally unstable parent, having no one to turn to for help. Her desire to escape to a better future fuels her motivation and keeps her focused on what really matters, breaking free of the hell she lives in.
Things at home are complicated and it’s easier to push people away than allow them to get too close. She doesn't let anyone into her life except her best friend Amanda. Maggie has perfected keeping secrets, maintaining her GPA and staying out of relationships. All her energy is put into her school work so that when she graduates she can leave for college and forget her past.
All of that changes when she meets Vincent Moreno. His reputation precedes him but she quickly discovers there is so much more to him than what you see on the surface. He manages to wiggle his way into her life despite her efforts to keep him at a distance. As Maggie starts to open up she realizes how much she needs someone like Vince in her life. They form a connection like no other and it has her reconsidering everything.
**Review**
This book was one of the most heart breaking and saddest books I have read. While all that is true it is also has hope, love, kindness and family in it. When I first started the book I wasn't so sure I was going to be able to finish it. The starting of this book crushed me. Now I am not one to get emotional over a book cause that is just me but with in the first 2 chapters I want to hug Maggie myself. I can't say how much i love Vincent and Maggie. They are wonderful for each other. The author while focused mainly on Vince and Maggie also gave you secondary characters who are so lovable and have their own story going and aren't just there. I think if you like stories with heart and soul you will like this one.
* I received this book in exchange for a honest review.
