One night
can change everything…
Two years ago, Leigh Anne Davis shocked everyone in tiny Fairhope, Georgia when she broke up with her wealthy boyfriend to attend an Ivy League university a thousand miles away. At school, she finds a happiness and independence she’s never known.
Until one terrifying night takes it all away from her.
With no place else to go, Leigh Anne heads home to reclaim her old life. A life she worked so hard to escape. On the outside, she seems like the same girl everyone has always known. But deep inside, she’s hiding a terrible secret.
That’s when she meets Knox Warner, a troubled newcomer to Fairhope. His eyes have the same haunted look she sees every day in the mirror, and when she’s near him, the rest of the world fades away. But being with Knox would mean disappointing everyone all over again. If she wants to save what’s left of her old life, she has no choice but to say goodbye to him forever.
Only, the trouble with goodbye is that sometimes it’s about courage and sometimes it’s about fear. And sometimes you’re too broken to know the difference until it’s too late.

My Review...
I thought this book was a sweet story with a heavy real subject.
Leigh Anne is forced to come home after a terrible event in her life. Once she is there she starts to question many things like: who she is, who really know her, who supports her, who loves her for her, etc... During this time she realizes that she doesn't want to be part of the superficial world but doesn't know how to survive otherwise.
Insert Knox who is another troubled soul. Together their brokenness draws them to one another and with this they can heal and become whole again. To everyone else they are wrong for one another but to them they are the perfect fit.
For Leigh Anne to heal she has to make some tough choices. Does she come forward and risk her family, and her love? Or does she keep quiet and save everyone else expect herself?"...I'm less broken when I'm with you."
"Whatever happened to you, I wish I could take it all away."
In this tale it saddens me the lack of support Leigh Anne gets from her family.
There should be only support for someone you love being a survivor of rape. There should be no judgement. In this story her family is more worried about how this will effect them instead of supporting Leigh Anne.
"When you're ready to start supporting me instead of judging me, let me know, okay?"
The bottom line is.....No MEANS NO!
It is hard to stick up for yourself when by standing up you are going against the system and by doing this you have to re-play the event over and over again.
But if she can go through this then hopefully justice can be served, future victims can be saved or it can allow others to know that they are not alone. For Leigh Anne she made the right decision for her which in turn helped others as well.
Instead, the truth has given me a freedom I never dreamed of. ...
Great story about a harsh reality, second chances, hope, true friendship, support and love.
4 thumbs up!
Lauren
