Publisher's summary

Just because you're through with your past, doesn't mean it's through with you.

Margaret Beringer didn't have an easy adolescence. She hated her name, was less than popular in school, and was always cast aside as a "farm kid." However, with the arrival of Courtney Carrington, Margaret's youth sparked into color. Courtney was smart, beautiful, and put together - everything Margaret wasn't. Who would have imagined that they'd fit together so perfectly?

But first loves can scar.

Margaret hasn't seen Courtney in years and that's for the best. But when Courtney loses her father and returns to Tanner Peak to take control of the family store, Margaret comes face-to-face with her past and the woman she's tried desperately to forget. The fact that Courtney has grown up more beautiful than ever certainly doesn't help matters.

A small town romance.

Don't Know What To Think...

The main character, Maggie, I found to be very unappealing. I don't know if it was the narrator who made her seem overly sweet, or if that's just the way she was written. But in now way did she seem like she would have appealed to or have been a good match for Courtney. There was a real disconnect between those two in my mind. Maggie seemed to be almost childlike. In one scene she was excited about going to play Pictionary with her family rather than staying to make out with her girlfriend. What teenager would make that choice? Not many, if I remember correctly.

Heart Warming

I loved the story line and the characters. The only thing I didn't like was when Maggie became an adult she still had her young teenage voice. The Narrator should have changed the voice a bit. Other then that I loved the story!

WOW

I was never a fan of first person book, but this one is past amazing. It had me laughing and tearing up. The dynamic of 2 youthful teenagers summer love, their broken hearts, and their rejoining of passion was stunning. I loved how the narrator gave the characters life and really enjoyed the whole book.

all the feels

I don’t read blurbs so I was shocked at how much I felt as this story progressed. I felt for the characters as they experienced hardships in life and rooted for them all along the way.

Great story

Strawberries. Yum. Young love that grows with age. Characters have great dialogue! Love the interaction not only with the main characters but with all the characters. The narrator really brought the story to life!

loved it!

This book was very Melissa! I will continue to be a fan of hers. It was a very cute story with bits of humor from Maggie laced through.
