This story just leaves me in awe. The twists and turns that it actually took left my emotions never the same. Presley lived a different life. A life that I can't imagine having to go thru but knowing probably somewhere out there, many do. Her saving grace was Emerson and to him Presley was his. Each not knowing that important role each played in their future, Presley continued to push him away thinking she was nothing and would never be good enough for him. Fortunately for her, Emerson never gave up on her. He was determined he would make her see what he sees in her. Having hope that one day you can live a normal life, was something Presley kept close to her mind and lucky for her, she was able to overcome the obstacles in her life to move past the bad and keep moving toward the good. With Emerson by her side, anything is possible. Such a strong, emotional roller coaster ride but one I'm glad I took on. I look forward to reading more from A.E. Woodward!

I should 've been sleeping but couldn't until I found out how this book was going to end! A quick read, a story of light and dark, and some definite unexpected moments. Another solid effort by AE Woodward.

3.0 out of 5 stars 3?
Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2015
I chose this rating because I felt the story felt so drawn out and then when we hit the climax it not only went down hill but went down at lightning speed. I'm irritated that I don't get an ending from my Bff Chrissy. Honestly, the only character I felt for. She was the most real. She owned what she was but you could tell she just played what she had. Presley is just way too depressing and once you get over pitying her, you realise you don't even like the character. And then you have Emerson, a dream boat. I feel as if the author was trying to make the perfect book boyfriend that she forgot flaws. He's the perfect guy (despite his parentage). Too perfect in fact. It makes me not like them.
The book wasn't bad that's why it's more than 2 stars. But 3 max, the characters are just whatever. I won't remember them tomorrow. Except chrissy. I will like how she does. Accepting what is and knowing it's not the end till you say it is.

I really didn't know what to expect when I started this read, I know, duh, the title should tell me something but I went into this read blind. This is a book that gives, I think, one of the most real worded feels of Presley's life. What I mean is that you can totally put yourself in her place and understand her mindset. She did not have a good life but thankfully she did have her best friend, Chrissy. Who I have to say is one of the bestest best friend character EVER. Emerson, gah, what a sweetheart that boy is. His life wasn't easy either but it was better the Presley's. Each having their own stories in which lead them into each others paths. That is all I can say without giving away too much. AE Woodward did an excellent job on this book, totally recommend! #ReadOn

This author keep getting better and better with each book she writes.

If you are looking for a different kind of story line with twists and turns you won't see coming until they are there...then make sure you read this book! Presley and Emerson are amazing characters. You may have never been through what they have but you will definitely connect with them. You will feel everything they are feeling. You will be on a roller coaster ride of emotions but what a ride it is.

I can't wait to see what this author writes next!

I received a copy of this book in exchange for honest review*

“Life is meant to be scary…But you’ve gotta take the chance every now and then”

Presley Adams hasn't had an easy life her mother was a prostitute. She hates the life she has been dealt, but she deals with it. She is doing all she can try and live a normal life, and not follow in her mother's footsteps. She's a fighter; she’s independent, but at the same time there is still a vulnerability about her. She has dreams, but also her demons that lead to self-doubt and insecurities. Presley is scared of love, and what it may bring! Her walls are up, and she is afraid of letting someone get close.

“I’m just a girl. A girl with hopes and dreams. Just craving to be loved”

Until she meets Emerson Williams the guy with the cute smile, and those dimples. He’s smart, confident; he intrigues her, something about him is familiar, but at the same time mysterious. He slowly gets under her skin; he makes her nervous, but most of all hopeful, and something that she thought she would never be. Emerson sees something in her, something that makes him want her, a deep feeling that they could be good together.

“There’s got to be a reason Emerson is pursuing me. After all, there is nothing special about me”

“I don’t know what your story is, but I want you to know that I’m not going anywhere. You are worth fighting for”

Presley and Emerson are two different people from different worlds/ life. They both have baggage, but they share a common ground. From the moment they first meet they both feel a connection, and somehow the balance each other out. He’s honest with her makes feel safe, slowly breaks down her walls. And she makes him feel nervous, but alive.

“Make no mistake….Emerson has become my kryptonite”

“I know you because you’re the missing piece. You’re everything I’m not, and when you’re not around I choke. I’ve been choking Presley”

Told from both POV. A.E. Woodward does a wonderful job of pulling into Presley and Emerson’s story. A.E has created such incredible heartfelt characters I was captivated from the very beginning. Their journey is emotional, raw, painful, and not easy to read at times, but also heartwarming, funny and moving.

“I don’t give a s**t about your baggage. I’m strong enough to carry yours …..and mine”

Presley best friend Chrissy is her rock!! And I just loved their relationship, and all that she does for Presley, so supported, and protective of her. She’s the best friend that every girl needs.

“Let him in. Cut the s**t, and let life happen. It’s time”

Overall, I loved this book the storyline was about hope, love, friendship, taking a chance and learning to live. Loved the poems, the characters, the emotions, twists that kept me on the edge of my seat, and one left me shouting no way!!! I’m a fan of A.E I like her writing style it never fails to pull me in from the very first chapter. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend that you add this book or any of her others to your TBR list.

What an amazing read. I picked up this book cause I love this author and once again she surpassed my expectations.
Presley was such a strong person who was dealt a crappy life and who felt didn't deserve happiness...despite that though she fought to better her life.
Emerson was a real life hero, he wanted to be there for Presley and show her she was something special. I loved how he managed to break away the wall surrounding her heart.
The bit leading up to the ending was something I would of never guessed, which made the story that much better.
Loved this book and highly recommend it.
