A rule-breaker with a
fiery attitude, Ella always wore her heart on her sleeve. Then she left
everything behind to go to college, where she transformed into someone
who follows the rules, keeps everything together, and hides all her
problems. Now it's summer break and she has nowhere else to go but home.
But once there, Ella fears that everything she's worked so hard to bury
might resurface-especially with Micha living right next door.
Smart, sexy, and confident, Micha can get under Ella's skin like no one else. He knows everything about her, including her darkest secrets. If he tries to tempt the old Ella to return, he will be impossible to resist. But what Ella doesn't realize is that when she left, she took a piece of Micha's heart with her. Now he's determined to win back the girl he lost, no matter what it takes.

Review
Jessica Sorensen has been on my list of authors to read
for a while. And I’ve heard a lot of good things. I will read more books by
her, but this wasn’t anything special for me.
The premise of this plot and the characters relationships
interested me and has a lot of potential. There is definitely a lot that can be
unpacked and I’m hopeful that will be developed in the next books.
I like Micha the most. He’s generally a good guy who
cares about Ella. I wish he was a little nicer to his mom, but she doesn’t seem
to care. Ella is ok, but her self-pity gets a little annoying. And I really
like Lila. She really wants to be a good friend to Ella.
The writing was a little weak for me. A huge part of it
is that I didn’t buy the romance between Ella and Micha. Actually, that’s not
quite true. I don’t buy their interactions-especially how they physically
interact when they are “just friends.” It just didn’t feel realistic.
I do own the next book and will read it, but probably not
immediately. And I would like to read another book by Jessica Sorensen to see
if she is an author for me.
Thanks for reading!
