Okay admittedly I struggled with the first 55% of the book. I found it slow and confusing in some parts due to all the switching from past to present. There was a couple of minor things I didn't find realistic but that may just be me, eg Rory didn't move on in the whole 5 years apart but then suddenly when Houston came back into her life she went on a date to try move on? The story in itself flowed well and took off between the middle and end and I enjoyed it more from then on in. I think what ultimately sold and redeemed it for me in the end was that I never in a million years saw the twist coming and I love a book with hidden agenda. I applaud the author as it's not often my mind is changed by the end.

Synopsis
Maybe we shouldn’t have fallen so fast and so willingly.
Maybe we shouldn’t have moved in together before we went on our first date.
Maybe we should have given our wounds time to heal before we tore each other to shreds.
Maybe we should have never been together.
Houston has kept a devastating secret from Rory since the day he took her into his home. But the tragic circumstances that brought them together left wounds too deep to heal.
Five years after the breakup, Houston and Rory are thrust together by forces beyond their control. And all the resentments and passion return with more intensity than ever.
Once again, Houston is left with a choice between the truth and the only girl he’s ever loved.
