For The Longest Time by Kendra Leigh Castle Review

For Samantha Henry, it took a ten-year absence to appreciate the close-knit New England town with an appeal all its own.... After a perfect storm of events leaves Sam high, dry, and jobless, she has to head home to Harvest Cove to regroup. Growing up, she was the town misfit, and a brief high school romance that resulted in heartbreak made her realize she was never going to fit in. But now with the support of her mother and an unexpected circle of allies, Sam starts to wonder if she’s misjudged the town all these years. Life’s been good to Jake Smith. He transitioned from popular jock to town veterinarian without any trouble. But Sam’s homecoming makes him question his choices. The sharp-tongued beauty was never a good fit for the small community, but he’s never forgotten her?or how good they were together. While she makes it clear she’s not about to repeat the past, Jake’s determined to convince her to give him?and Harvest Cove?a second chance.

My Review:
I was a "misfit" in school, and I could really relate to Sam. I also met up with and dated someone I went to sixth grade with, when I was in my 20s. The secondary characters, especially Sam's mom and Shane, were my favorite! This is a series, and I hope that they each get their own book. I also like that there is a group of friends that act as real friends. They argue, defend each other and like to have fun. The ending was very good, and I like the "party". This story reminded me that you can go home. I can not wait to read more about these characters! I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review from Night Owl Reviews, however all opinions are my own.
