You know that euphoric reading experience where you find the book that feels as if it was written specifically with you as a reader in mind?

I've found that euphoria with Until It Fades you guys. I'm OBSESSED and I've blown through most of it in one day. Not only is it beyond romantic and dreamy, it follows tropes that I love, shows Tucker's incredible writing skills and is just melting my heart.

I'm so bummed that this one got pushed back till July 5th, but it'll absolutely be worth the wait.

Living in a small town can be all about the sense of community, of belonging and knowing everyone. For Catherine Wright, however, that isn’t a good thing. Her past haunts her everywhere she goes and whenever she turns around, she feels like everything is judging her for something that happened in her past.

Catherine is just trying to raise her little girl and keep her head down when on her way back home from a failed date, she saves a man’s life. What she wasn’t expecting was for him to be the famous hockey player Brett Madden who is determined to be a part of her life.

Because of everything Catherine went through, she tries her best to keep herself out of the spotlight, which means she will try her best to push Brett away, even if her heart seems to stop every time he’s near her.

Until it Fades is a sweet love story about facing your fears, coming to terms with your past and giving yourself a second chance to be happy.

The story is well written, the characters real and I couldn’t have been happier with how things played out.
I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a heartwarming and swoon-worthy book.

AWWW! Just finished this sweet, swoony, heartwarming love story in one sitting and I loved it!

The story is about a young lady Catherine who was young/innocent and made some bad choices when she was in high school. Catherine had a crush on her art teacher but like most teens with raging hormones she mistakes lust for love. The problem lies in Catherine’s teacher though as he was an adult. He made some false promises he could not kept. Soon after the story broke - Catherine became the talk of the town not only for her stunt with the art teacher but also, she found herself pregnant and was forced to drop out of high school. Catherine was strong though… she took responsibly and with the help of some kind people she was able to get a job and support her daughter.

Several years later, Catherine’s life changes one foggy night when she rescues a man from a car wreck that nearly ends his life. Turns out, the man she saved is a hockey darling Brett Madden and he insists on thanking the woman who saved his life in person. The last thing Catherine wants is attention and the spot light on her but Brett is persistent. Brett is instantly attracted to Catherine but is it more than just gratitude toward someone who saved his life? Can Catherine leave the past behind and finally find get a second chance at love?

I really adore Brett – he is down to earth, sweet, caring -- just a total package. I also like Catherine – she is young, naïve and unfortunately learns the hard way. I like the fact that she did not hop into Brett’s bed right away. She struggles as a single mom but she is not hungry for fame or money. She is grown up and much wiser.
I also enjoy the plot – it felt real – a situation that could have happened to anyone. One thing I was uncomfortable with is the fact that Catherine made a major mistake soon after the teacher ordeal, but it produced the adorable little girl. Kids are my kryptonite and I just love stories of single moms/dads falling in love again. She is a pretty darn cute, curious, smart little girl and adds to the lighthearted, hilarious components of the story.

K.A Tucker is a first-time author for me. I have known about this author but because of her genres I never really tried to read her book. When I saw the blurb of this book I was immediately intrigued. I am glad I read it because I LOVED IT! This is a kind of feel good story – a single mom and a hockey star who were both given a second chance at life. It was sweet, sexy, heartfelt with not too much drama. As far as the writing goes, it totally clicked with me … beautiful, flawless, love the witty banters, and a good pace from beginning to end.

Until It Fades is a pretty classic fairytale story that's sure to set a lot of romantic hearts aflutter. Though the subject matter is, let's face it, pretty far-fetched, it's escapism at its best. The star professional hockey player gets saved by the single mother waitress, suddenly bringing her back out of the shadows she’s been hiding in since high school. I'm sure many readers will be able to empathize, or even identify with the heroine. She's a very relatable character, flawed but doing the right thing for herself and her child and trying to move past the mistakes she has made in her teen years.

The book introduces you to Catherine at the culmination of her string of bad choices and mistakes. As a rebellious young woman, her life took a disastrous turn that led her to a minimum wage job at a truck stop diner, and a child to take care of all on her own. I think getting her backstory through the flashback in the introduction immediately helps you to empathize and understand the path that she's traveled down to become the strong woman she is. She’s had to depend on herself for a long time, but she's just fine with that. She just wishes the loneliness weren't quite so consuming.

After an appallingly bad blind date, her late night drive home leads her to a man she'd probably never meet in normal circumstances. Son of a Hollywood star, captain of the Philadelphia Flyers hockey team, Brett Madden has led a very privileged life. He's well liked by everyone for his good heart and generosity towards those less fortunate than him. And right now, on this empty stretch of road, he is the one in dire need of help. Catherine is the one person who happened upon him, and risked her own life in order to get him to safety. This was such a great twist on your typical rescue scenario, where we'd normally see the hero charging in on his white horse. It was really refreshing to see the dichotomy in that theme.

I genuinely liked both main characters. Brett was a wonderful man, very giving, sweet, and concerned for Catherine’s well being during the media storm that developed because of his rescue. He wasn’t the type that let fame or fortune get to his head, in fact, he was someone whom you knew you could depend upon. Someone you’d gladly trust to have your best interests at heart. He was very patient with the heroine’s fears, and gentle with her heart. Catherine was strong, resilient, and a wonderful mother to her young child. Even after so much adversity in her life, she worked herself to the bone in order to provide for herself and her little girl.

An important thing to note about this story is that it’s a slow build romance. Don’t expect the relationship to unfold at a breakneck speed. The first half of the book heavily focuses on the heroine’s past, her present situation, and the stress of trying to come to terms with being the focus of public scrutiny again. The lack of real interaction between the two protagonists didn’t particularly bother me up until around 65%, and then I was starting to feel a bit impatient for a real build between them. I think the flashbacks seemed a bit excessive after a while, but in hindsight, there was a purpose and a direction to them.

This story was about mending family, and believing in love again after being knocked down hard searching for it in the wrong places. If you’re looking for a light romance with a fairytale feel, this could be the perfect book for you.

K.A. Tucker has written another great love story that fans of hers are sure to eat up! If you're new to her books, then trust me when I say that they are filled with emotion, sometimes intense tension between the male and female leads until they finally give in to what they KNOW is there and then BAM, it gets goooooood.

Catherine is a young, 24 year old single mom, working in a truck-stop diner to make ends meet for herself and her daughter. At the age of 18 she leaves home due to a tumultuous relationship with her mother. Learning from her own mistakes she "womans-up" and makes a life for herself. A good, simple life. She hasn't dated in 5 years and basically is very gaurded with her heart and her inner circle of close friends. It's not just her to consider anymore...now she has Brenna to think about. One night on the way home from a blind date gone horribly wrong, she comes across a horrific single vehicle accident. Being the caring human being she is, she stops and attempts to help save the passenger in the vehicle before the car explodes.

Cath's story is told first from alternating between past and present events. Her past in high school is one that caused her and her family a lot of hatred from the very small town and grief. She's done with being in any form of limelight....and then she discovers who exactly the man she saved is. This man is so genuinely grateful to her that he MUST meet her in person. What develops from there is a beautiful relationship that the reader can see coming from miles away.

Oh, Cath....she irritated me at times. I yelled internally at her several times! From her (metaphorical) blindess, to her unwillingness to truly move on from her past, to her struggle with trusting and realizing she IS enough....even for someone like Brett Madden. But I suppose, despite my irritations with this part of her character, I could somewhat understand the journey through which she goes through over a period of 5 years, prior to meeting Brett, and afterward what he helps her to (too slowly) see, that causes her to be insecure and question herself. She needed a big boost in self-confidence and Brett was the man to bring that back out in her.

This book was just what I love in contemporary romance. A happily-ever-after ending with loads of steam mixed in. For the genre in which this one falls (New Adult) I would say this is a bit lighter on the graphic nature....though still mature in content, the descriptiveness of the graphic scenes is slightly less. Language too, though I'm still giving it a medium score, is MUCH less in F-bombs than other books in this same genre.

No review. Book DNF'd. It just wasn't for me and did not hold my attention.

4.5 Stars!! I am now completely convinced that K.A. Tucker can write anything and make it great. One thing I know for sure is that each book I’ve picked up by this author has completely captured my attention. Each story is different than the one that came before it not only in tone but sometimes in genre…yet each one has made it to my favorites list. This particular story is lighter and more romantic, sweeter than some of her previous books. And, maybe it’s just what I needed right now.

Cath is a single mom who’s past won’t go away because she lives in a small town full of people with long memories and lots of spare time to gossip. Brett is a very famous hockey player with an even more famous mother. When Cath saves Brett from an awful car accident, she’s immediately thrown back into the position of being the focus of not only her town but the rest of the country as well. I loved Cath’s strength and her devotion to her little girl. Fighting the powers to try to keep her daughter safe and out of the limelight isn’t easy but Cath does all she can. Brett is sexy, swoonworthy, and sweet. I loved how close he was to his family and his focus on his career. I also liked his willingness to wait for Cath…to ensure she was ready and to be patient with her needs. Every woman needs a Brett in their lives.

If I could change one thing about this book it would simply be to get a few pages from Brett’s point of view. We were treated to hearing about Cath’s feelings but not his and I think the book would have been just a bit stronger if we had the chance to experience his feelings for Cath…to believe without a doubt that his feelings were true and separate from the accident. Don’t get me wrong. I enjoyed their chemistry and loved their romance. I just would have liked that little bit more to throw me over the edge.

If you’re looking for a fairy tale story with strong characters (even the secondary characters were wonderful here), sweet romance, and a slow burn, this is the book for you. This story will leave you with a smile on your face and a happy heart.

It's difficult living in a small town. Everyone knows your business, and your fate is determined for you before you even know who you want to be. In Catherine Wright's case, everyone in Balsam, Pennsylvania, knows who she is. She of the notorious reputation who, at 24, works as a truck stop waitress and is a single mother to a five-year-old daughter. Cath knows she made mistakes, and she feels that she has to keep paying for those mistakes, long after perhaps she should.

As she drives home on a foggy night, she happens upon a horrific car accident. Struggling mightily, she manages to free the passenger from the wreckage, moments before the car involved - as well as hers - become engulfed in flames. Cath soon learns that she saved the life of Brett Madden, a hockey superstar and the son of a respected, successful Hollywood actress. But Cath wants no attention for this. Any sort of recognition could lead to the revealing of her past sins, and she has a daughter to consider.

K A Tucker builds this romance s-l-o-w-l-y. It's clear from the start that Brett and Catherine are attracted to each other, but she is sorely afraid. Her past mistakes still feel too close, too raw, too present for her to exacerbate the fragile truces she established with her parents and fellow townspeople. Her life may not be as financially secure and prosperous as Brett's, but it's a life she has made for her and her daughter Brenna. Cath accepts help with great reluctance, but she does know when she needs it. Does this extend to her heart, though?

Tucker's title tells you a lot about Catherine Wright. She lives in fear of feelings fading. It's the only truth she knows. Her experience informs her, telling her that love is not sure and sustaining. It fades, not because of time but because of changing preferences. The one who loves you today can - and likely will - change his mind tomorrow. Brenna asks her mother to be brave, though. To not let her fears hold her back. Perhaps some loves will never fade.

If you have read other books from K A Tucker, you will come into this one expecting angst and emotional suffering (I'm looking at you, He Will Be My Ruin). This one, though, while it certainly does get angsty at times, is far lighter. It's more of a pure romance, and when it ignites, Tucker does not back away from writing some delicious sexy times. She'll keep you waiting for them, though, but she does make the payoff worth it.

I enjoyed Cath and Brett's story so much. Their story is told through Cath's eyes, which perhaps is the only shortcoming to this book. It needs a little more of Brett. You feel as if you know him, but you don't feel like you KNOW him. Too much of him remains a mystery when we should - we need - to feel closer to him. Brenna is adorable and you will love her, just as you will love Cath's boss and the chef at the diner.

I'd love to know what you think of this book, so please hit up the comments and fill me in.

Cute, fun, refreshing. Absolutely adore every word of this addictive book. KA never disappoints. 5 Stars

This. Book was a wonderful visit back to KA Tuckers previous contemporary Romance and she definitely proves once again she can write anything!! Fan for life.

Until It Fades was a bit different from KA Tucker's last couple of books. It wasn't as dark or mysterious, instead Until It Fades was more hopeful and happy. It doesn't exactly start out that way though. The book begins with Catherine in high school. Without giving too much away, Catherine experiences something that makes her the talk of the town. She basically leaves her parents' home as soon as she turns eighteen, but that isn't the last of her being the talk of the town. She finds out that she's pregnant, and yet again she becomes the talk of the town. Catherine is the first to admit that her teen years were a bit troubled and now that six years have passed, she knows that she's changed a lot.

Beyond all the local gossip about Catherine, she really hasn't had it easy. Her relationship with her parents is strained at best. She's not without blame there also. She's working every day that she can for as long as she can to make ends me and provide a home for her daughter. And she's single momming it because Brenna's dad isn't around. But she has a few solid people in her corner, and her little girl makes life worth living. But there hasn't been a man in her life in a long time.

Brett was easy to like. He feels immense gratitude toward Catherine for saving his life, and that's kind of what starts their relationship off. Having this shared traumatic experience bonds them. They get to know each other and the relationship builds. Brett's a bit more game for things from the beginning, but Catherine's past makes it hard for her to trust Brett or his intentions. It takes a lot for her to open up and trust him, to trust that he likes her for her--ordinary as he may be--and trust that if she gives her heart to him that he's not going to rip it up and hand it back to her.

Until It Fades ended up being a feel good story for me. I enjoyed the process of Catherine and Brett developing their feelings for each other. I loved Catherine's relationship with her daughter, Brenna. I really liked her brother Jack so much that I wouldn't mind knowing more about him. Even though Brenna's relationship with her parents was rocky, I enjoyed that too. Brett's family was pretty awesome too considering their outstanding circumstances. I appreciated KA Tucker's positive use of God. Don't get confused, this isn't a religious story, but she mentioned God three times in a positive way and in today's culture and literature this was extremely refreshing for me. The physical scenes were scarce (but present), and the language was present also but not overwhelming. Until It Fades gets 4 Stars from me. Have you read Until It Fades? What did you think? Let me know!

4.5-5 unique stars

I have to admit that I didn't expect to love it so much, but it happened!Until It Fades is a beautiful,sweet and romantic story.The story is well written and the characters lovable.I was captured and intrigued from the beginning.

K.A. Tucker delivers an unforgettable,unique and beautiful story.
Until It Fades is a story I would love to read again and again.

4.5 stars!

Love, love, loved it! A sweet and romantic slow burner with no angst, and a couple that you can't help but root for. I loved every moment of it!

Catherine Wright hasn’t had an easy life. She has been made mistakes and she has paid the price, she has been the victim of manipulation, scandal and scorn, and she has persevered. And now, aged 24, she is the single mother to an adorable 5-year-old, working at a diner in her small town and trying hard to keep a low profile and make a good life for her and her daughter. That proves impossible when she comes across a fatal car crash one night, and saves the life of a man who turns out to be Brett Madden, the NHL’s golden boy.

From the moment her identity as Brett’s rescuer is leaked she finds herself the target of journalists and the paparazzi who not only stalk her, but also dig up past secrets that she has tried so hard to move on from. The press’s attention also allows the man in question to find her, and when Brett shows up on Cath’s doorstep to thank her, the spark of attraction is instant.

Catherine and Brett share an immediate bond that even from the beginning feels deeper than friendship. But with Catherine sure that the only thing Brett feels towards her is gratitude, and the press watching their every move, Brett has a battle on his hands.


“I’m crazy about you and you won’t even answer my calls. I need to know how to fix that so you’ll give me a chance. Please.”


I loved this book! The story is told entirely from Catherine’s perspective, which I loved, because there is this element of mystery about Brett - about what he is feeling and how strongly he is feeling it - and it adds a wonderful sense of anticipation to the slow pacing as we wait for the inevitable to all unfold. And I felt everything!


He meets my gaze again, his eyes raw and heated, his breaths ragged. “This has never been about gratitude, Catherine.”
I’m having a hard time breathing.
“Tell me you believe me.”


Cath’s backstory is pretty much revealed upfront, but flashbacks provide a lot of depth, allowing us to experience all that she went through just as she did as a naïve 17 year old. I thought that it allowed us to really get to know her, and I certainly empathised with her and could understand the impact it had on her life and why it made her so frightened of throwing herself all in with Brett.

And Brett… OMG, I love him! He’s an absolute sweetheart, and I adored his sweet, gentle nature. He’s not a manwhoring alpha, but he is a man who knows what he wants, and his pursuit of Catherine was perfect – he was slow, considerate and gentle, but didn’t hold back on his feelings, and I was easily swept up in their developing romance.


“Life is too short to do what other people think you should do.”


It’s a deliciously sweet, heartfelt love story, and it had me so captivated that I struggled to put the book down. Like Tucker’s other books, there is more to it than just the romance, and I thought that the love story blended really well with the personal and family storylines that made up the book.

There’s a phenomenal bunch of side characters – both Catherine and Brett’s family and friends fit into the story so well, and I’m hoping that this book becomes a series because I would love to read more about them. There are stories there just begging to be told.

I loved this book. It’s sweet and romantic with a nice amount of depth without becoming overly dramatic or angsty, and it left me with a huge grin on my face. A truly charming, heartwarming read.

4.5 stars.

Until it Fades is really just a beautiful love story. A second chance at life between two souls who never knew they existed for each other.

Catherine hasn’t had it easy. Ever since being a teenager she’s been the talk of the town, and not in a good way. Brett is the all American Hockey player, his only dream is Hockey, basically.

This was a bit different than Tucker's other books. But I fell in love with them. It's slow moving, but very beautiful. I’ve missed her books and it's been awhile since I’ve dived into one of her stories. I’m thankful I was given a chance to read it.

Overall, it's Five Boundless Stars.

Until it Fades is a much different book than I expected from Tucker. It's lighter and much more of a slow burn. While, I don't have issue with slow burns, at all, I found that it left a little something lacking when the relationship did progress.

I think I needed more between these two earlier on. If I had that, it would have worked much better for me. Still a solidly sweet romance though.

Ever come across a book that captivates you from the blurb alone? Or maybe it was the most beautiful cover ever? Well that was UNTIL IT FADES for me...the blurb, not the cover. Although the cover is so stunning and gorgeous. But I just knew when I read the blurb I was done for. Tucker has always written such wonderful, addictive stories, so I knew this would be no different. From the first few words I was under Tucker's spell. Besides chores, family time or sleeping, those were about the only times I put this book down. It was excruciating to walk away from it when reality called. And once I got to the end, I delayed finishing it; knowing that it would be over and done with it. And I didn’t want that. Not one bit.

Honestly, I don't know how to describe what I am feeling from this story. It wasn't one that was full of "Holy Heck" moments or "Gut you to the core" twists, but it just resonated with me. That is all I can think to say. It resonated with me, it spoke to me, it consumed me. It was just a good, good book. One you want to read over and over again. One I will definitely be reading again.

Tucker gave us a couple characters that we the people could relate to. A single mom who just wants to give her daughter the best possible life with the hand they've been dealt. A super-duper star Hockey player, that even with his wealthy upbringing, has been given a second chance to be better than the already amazing guy he was. Not one ounce of the story seemed fake or unrealistic. It just felt real and right and I absolutely loved it.

Was there romance you ask? Of course! How could there not be? Tucker gives the characters (and us) a fairy tale romance…one that has you at times wondering if it will work out. You get the swoon. You get the butterflies. You get everything you are supposed to get when the chemistry is so intense between the right people. It was beautiful and fun. And I am still thinking back on it all after closing the book nearly 24 hours later.

I mean, seriously. Here I am, still drowning from the book hangover this book gave. Last night I went through numerous books trying to find something new to read. Something to pull me from the stupor I was stuck in. A stupor that clearly means this book was utterly and completely amazing. But, sigh! I came up empty. So I gave it a night before I started something new. A night to marinate in the goodness of this story. Maybe, just maybe I can find something tonight.

5 Wish I could rate this book all the numbers Stars!

Going into this book, I was afraid was going to be a cheesy story about some girl falling all over a famous hockey player (as a Canadian, I chuckled to my self typing that). And to some extent, that was a very surface level theme, but this book was much deeper than that, and by no means cheesy.

The story follows 24-year-old Catherine. One night, while driving home from an unsuccessful blind date, Cath sees the car that just sped past her on the side of the road. She stops to investigate, finding the driver partly ejected through the windshield and the passenger stuck in his seat. Cath calls for help and soon the entire car is up in flames. She struggles to get the passenger out of the car. It isn't until after the ambulance arrives that Cath is told she just saved Brett Madden, a famous hockey star who is supposed to help the Flyers win the Cup.

There is so much more to the plot, but I will leave it at that.

The romance in this book is a nice, slow burn. I was worried it would be insta-lovey, but with Cath being a mom, I appreciated that Tucker knew to take things slower. Plus, the build up was so much better later on! I was also really glad that Tucker made it pretty clear from the beginning that Cath's friend Keith wouldn't try to make this a love triangle situation. I had my doubts, and really loved them together, but they didn't click. Tucker doesn't push this, and although there are times when I am rooting for Keith, I'm glad Brett was in the picture.

The book is told in two timelines, the past back when Cath was 17 and the present day. I preferred the present but not because of the writing, just because of the content. I felt like Cath had lived through a hard time, and it was really hard to live through that with her in that timeline, not just her telling the story today. She has grown a lot since then and her perspective on the situation has definitely changed, but I can see why we needed the past timeline to get the story from her side then.

All the characters in this book were really well done and nicely developed. Jack was my favourite side character, I think partially because he is closer to my age than the other characters and he was hilarious. I would love a YA spinoff with him as the MC (wink wink KA Tucker). But overall the whole family was well done. Cath's mother, Hildy, wasn't my favourite but I definitely respected where she was coming from. Cath's dad was great too, he went along with his wife but knew when to put his foot down.

This is definitely a book that grabs you and doesn't let go, I finished it in one sitting! I kept telling myself one more chapter and it just spiraled into the whole book. I had to know what was going to happen, not to mention I wanted to see Brett and Cath together.

I think this book is different from the other books by Tucker I have read, it's not as suspenseful, like the Burying Water series, and it's not as dark and angsty as the Ten Tiny Breaths series. It was serious enough, but by its very nature, this book is about living life to the fullest and not taking it too seriously. And I think Tucker does it perfectly.

Overall, I definitely recommend (even if you aren't Canadian or a hockey fan ;)).

K.A Tucker is one of my favorite and go to authors. She never lets me down!

Twenty-four-year-old truck stop waitress and single mother Catherine Wright has simple goals: to give her five-year-old daughter a happy life and to never again be the talk of the town in Balsam, Pennsylvania: population two thousand outside of tourist season.

And then one foggy night, on a lonely road back from another failed attempt at a relationship, Catherine saves a man’s life. It isn’t until after the police have arrived that Catherine realizes exactly who it is she has saved: Brett Madden, hockey icon and media darling.

Catherine has already had her fifteen minutes of fame and the last thing she wants is to have her past dragged back into the spotlight, only this time on a national stage. So she hides her identity. It works.

For a time.

But when she finds the man she saved standing on her doorstep, desperate to thank her, all that changes. What begins as an immediate friendship quickly turns into something neither of them expected. Something that Catherine isn’t sure she can handle; something that Catherine is afraid to trust.

Because how long can an extraordinary man like Brett be interested in an ordinary woman like Catherine…before the spark fades?

Catherine has had a hard life since she was 17. She always felt like an outsider in her family as she wasn’t the overachiever her siblings were. When she falls in love with her teacher and her mother finds out all hell breaks loose and she forces Catherine to report him to the police. She eventually recants her story (even though they were having an affair) but the damage is done to her reputation. She eventually drops out of school and when she turns 18 moves out of her family’s home.

She gets a job at a truck stop as a waitress but 7 months after the ordeal with her teacher she finds out she’s pregnant. Being a single mother is hard but she does it and does it well. She’s never lived down her “reputation” as she lives in a small town but she lives her life as best she can and tries to protect her now 5 year old daughter from her past.

On the way home from a horrid blind date she comes across a car accident where the driver has been killed. The passenger is stuck in the car but despite it being on fire she manages to pull the large man free and saves his life. She’s now thought of as a hero - especially when it’s discovered that the man she pulled out of the burning vehicle is a famous hockey player. Catherine doesn’t want fame and fortune and no compensation from the hockey player. He does want to meet her, however, and when they meet the sparks fly. Catherine would love to be with Brett but she knows she’s just an ordinary woman and he couldn’t possibly want someone like her. How wrong she is.

Until it Fades is a lovely slow-burn romance that I thoroughly enjoyed. The build up to Brett and Catherine finally coming together was wonderful (maybe a bit slower than what I would have liked but it worked) and the passion that explodes between the two of them is intense. From the moment they saw each other after the accident they connected and eventually become friends. Catherine has quite a self-esteem issue because of how she was treated in the past but her incredibly wonderful friends and Brett help her get over it all. I loved how the few friends that she had, and eventually her family, surrounded her with support and love, each in their own way.

The story kept me on my toes with all of the ins and outs of the story, flashbacks to her high school days, and current events. KA Tucker wrote a great story and one I definitely recommend.

Rating: 4 out of 5
