After serving five years in prison for a tragic mistake, Kenna Rowan returns to the town where it all went wrong, hoping to reunite with her four-year-old daughter. But the bridges Kenna burned are proving impossible to rebuild. Everyone in her daughter’s life is determined to shut Kenna out, no matter how hard she works to prove herself. The only person who hasn’t closed the door on her completely is Ledger Ward, a local bar owner and one of the few remaining links to Kenna’s daughter. But if anyone were to discover how Ledger is slowly becoming an important part of Kenna’s life, both would risk losing the trust of everyone important to them. The two form a connection despite the pressure surrounding them, but as their romance grows, so does the risk. Kenna must find a way to absolve the mistakes of her past in order to build a future out of hope and healing. A troubled young mother yearns for a shot at redemption in this heartbreaking yet hopeful story from #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover.

I usually love anything Colleen Hoover writes, but this one was just not it for me. Tbh I think this is prbly my least fav of hers so far. I was so bored, I was annoyed with Kenna 99% of the time, & I just didn't get put in my feels like Colleen usually does to me with her writing. Super disappointed, but I'm just gonna pretend like I didn't read it lol

Just never really connected to the characters, was relatively bored with the story. Easily put it down and never thought about it again.
(I assume the situation was more complicated than she really was driving under the influence and was responsible for the wreck that killed Scotty and she walked away without a care in the world, I assume there was some 'reveal' later on that it went down differently.)
0Trying to figure out how to put the experience of reading this book into words... All I know is "healing" and "hopeful" and "heart wrenching" all fit somewhere in there. I'll be honest in saying I pre-judged it when by the first paragraph of the second chapter I was sure I knew exactly what was going to happen. And maybe I did, but that didn't make the road to getting there any less amazing. This is a must read and if you're anything like me, pairs well with a box of tissues
