Jessica just
ended a relationship with Alex, who was recently caught cheating. A visit with
her aunt brings more than an opportunity to mend her broken heart--it brings
back an old flame that left her once. But she refuses to let Kyle break her
heart again. How could he just call off an engagement without explanation? I
mean, how could Kyle not even apologize for walking out on her? Then again,
would an apology even cut it?
Things get
more confusing when Kyle has to finish a remodel to her aunt's house. During
that time, memories flood Jessica's mind, re-igniting the burning resentment
and fiery passion. What's worse is that he's throwing poop in her face by
walking around with his new blonde girlfriend.
Despite it
all, Jessica still wants Kyle, but she constantly obsesses over him not wanting
her. Why doesn't he want me? What's wrong with me? Why didn't he spend all this
time pining over me and living a pathetic and lonely life? Jessica so wanted to
be with Kyle and, even though she was being annoying about it, a small part of
me was rooting for her.
They call
this a romantic suspense. The mystery lies in the 50-year old letters Jessica
finds--one I found redundant and superfluous. Why would she go through all this
trouble to find the ill-conceived child from 50 years ago?
Story gets a
little more compelling toward the end when it seems that someone would rather
keep old secrets buried.
This simple
and easy-to-follow story started off slow but then gradually accelerated to a
gripping and mysterious end. I might actually check out the sequel, Second Chances.
My rating: 3.5 stars
