"I'm going to be straight with you, I was not a fan of this novel. Now I'm going to put my professional hat on and TRY to nicely explain to you my view point about it. Yet, it can be hard to do so without ranting a bit so if you want to skip this section that’s okay.

1.5 out of 5 stars. A woman goes back to the town she lived in as a teen in hopes of overcoming her past and the man who left her behind. Yet, what she finds is a yearning for more still … will she get what she yearns for or finally move on with her life.

Though I did root for the main characters, Amy & Quentin, to get back together and their romance to flourish, I was not a fan of this novel. Therefore, if you are looking for a bunch of positives to read about stop this review here..."

Trust;forgive;repeat often.

Amy Welsh is a permanent substitute in her high school home town. She has returned to see if she has purged her high school boyfriend from her heart. It quickly becomes obvious Quentin Macmillan is still in possession of her heart, and he has feelings for Amy as well. However, he deeply hurt Amy 17 years ago and Amy cannot quite overcome that monumental issue. Quentin also has a teenage daughter in Amy's class. This leads to all kinds of complications in Amy and Quentin's relationships. Can Amy trust Quentin with her heart this time around? What secrets are threatening to destroy Amy and Quentin's relationship? What secrets are others around them, such as his daughter and employees hiding? Will Amy and Quentin let God's forgiveness overflow into others' lives, or will others' actions forever victimize them?
This was a fun read,but very frustrating to have Amy vacillate so much in her feelings. However, she IS of the female persuasion!!
