About this audiobook
A second chance ten years in the making When Andi Scott left her hometown ten years ago, she swore she’d never go back. But news of her estranged father’s death has her driving the all-too-familiar roads. Each turn brings another memory—of the girl she became there and the boy she loved and lost. The only saving grace is that there’s no way Corey Johnson, the former love of her life, is still around. They both got out, even though it cost them everything. Andi’s barely in town for a day when she discovers that not only is Corey still in Fairford, but he’s the cofounder of a successful local business, one he built with her father. The news shatters the walls Andi built around her past and forces her to reexamine everything she thought she knew. When Corey asks Andi to stay in town, she can’t refuse his boyish grin or the way he still looks at her as if she’s the only person in the room. And she doesn’t want to. Corey’s still the same person who made the worst day of her life better with one crooked smile, but there’s something he’s not telling her. Andi has to know what it is, even if it means opening her heart to the person who broke it in the first place.

I liked this book a lot but it is heavy! Definitely needs a trigger warning for child abuse and addiction. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5

Yes, I judged a book by its cover. I assumed this was going to be some lighthearted love story with the hopes of some steamy smut.
I was wrong.
It is a love story, but also a story about child abuse and neglect, domestic violence, about secon chances, the people who give them, why they do that, how to forgiv both the offenders and the people who give them a chance... well... not an easy vacation read, which is what I was looking for. Really glad I came across it. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5

3.25 Stars for me!
There is a lot to like about this story as it relates to family and the impact of alcoholism.
The reason for a 3 star rating is that I had a very difficult time liking the h. She shut out anyone that she had issues with and refused to get the full story. As an 18 year old, it is somewhat expected. By your mid-20s, you should be able to act like a grown-up and verify the situation before you cast judgment. As a person who dealt with the aggressive attitude, it should have helped her avoid continuing the bad behavior.
The H started out strong but also turns into a jerk as the story goes on. Add the mom's treacherous decisions, these lives all seem destined to fail. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5

TRIGGER WARNING-Alcoholic & abusive father!
I'm not sure if I can finish the book because of the main character's childhood flashbacks.
