Kacey Cleary’s whole life imploded four years ago in a drunk-driving accident. Now she’s working hard to bury the pieces left behind—all but one. Her little sister, Livie. Kacey can swallow the constant disapproval from her born-again aunt Darla over her self-destructive lifestyle; she can stop herself from going kick-boxer crazy on Uncle Raymond when he loses the girls’ college funds at a blackjack table. She just needs to keep it together until Livie is no longer a minor, and then they can get the hell out of Grand Rapids, Michigan.
But when Uncle Raymond slides into bed next to Livie one night, Kacey decides it’s time to run. Armed with two bus tickets and dreams of living near the coast, Kacey and Livie start their new lives in a Miami apartment complex, complete with a grumpy landlord, a pervert upstairs, and a neighbor with a stage name perfectly matched to her chosen “profession.” But Kacey’s not worried. She can handle all of them. What she can’t handle is Trent Emerson in apartment 1D.
Kacey doesn’t want to feel. She doesn’t. It’s safer that way. For everyone. But sexy Trent finds a way into her numb heart, reigniting her ability to love again. She starts to believe that maybe she can leave the past where it belongs and start over. Maybe she’s not beyond repair.
But Kacey isn’t the only one who’s broken. Seemingly perfect Trent has an unforgivable past of his own; one that, when discovered, will shatter Kacey’s newly constructed life and send her back into suffocating darkness.
MY REVIEW:
If you haven't read this book, I'm going to spoil the shit out of you, so leave if you haven't read it! This book was an insane roller coaster of emotions. I was really hooked to the book in the beginning. I instantly fell in love with Kacey and Livie's characters. They are so likable and funny. They made me crack up and feel the pain that went with their story. I really liked the concept of the story and how a lot of the characters were dealing with death. That's really all I liked about the book. I really didn't enjoy how Kacey all of a sudden liked Trent. Okay, they met like twice and didn't even go out on a date before she was all over him. I just didn't understand that someone with as many problems as her just letting some complete stranger into her life like that. She didn't even know anything about him and she liked him so much...WHAT IS THAT!? And then the huge ass plot twist towards the middle of the book that totally changed my perspective in the book altogether. I cant believe after they told Kacey she'd been stalked by him for TWO years, she still felt sympathy for him. Yeah, I get it. I have lost people in my life and I know how hard it is to cope with things and forgive. But I still cant believe Kacey went back to him and forgave him! He fucking lied to her and stalked her! HELLO! Am I the only one who sees a problem with that!? You can tell how mad I am about this book. At the beginning of the book you would just think Kacey has some major forgiveness issues but then by the end, you think she is a wack job. I don't think the author made it seem there was anything wrong with her at the beginning compared to the end. I don't think I'm going to continue this series even though the second book is about Livie and shes like the only character I liked. I rated this book a 2/5 stars.
