Synopsis:
Becca Trent lived her childhood next to a cruel woman—her mom—who lived to torment and neglect her. During her high school years, her mother married; bringing home not only a new husband, but a step sister her same age. The latter took over her Mom’s role—making Becca’s life miserable. Including stealing Ian—Becca’s best friend and boyfriend—Lisa treated her worse than her mother had for the previous fifteen years. A couple of years later, things ended up in tragedy.
Becca buried that part of her life in the deep corners of her psyche, but that only work during the days when the nightmares didn’t come back to haunt her. Her best friend, Dan gives her that family love she always lacked. Everything was close to perfect, until everything and everyone from her past came back. Now, she’s trying to figure out how to survive and keep that bond which seems now to be held together by a thread.
Note: This is the first part of a two book novel.

My Review:
This was a book that drew me in because I wanted to know Becca's secret and why she was so hesitant to open her heart for Dan. Becca had every childhood trauma that I could think of. That is why she was "messed up" as an adult. She had emotional issues and a lot of other issues that I do not want say because of spoilers. I was sad, mad and happy for characters in this book, and Dan was the perfect boyfriend. I knew that this was book one of two, but I really wanted the ending to be more definite. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
