"Happiness can be found in even the darkest of times, if only one remembers to turn on the light."


I really want to just say that I LOVED this book and end this review so that I can move on to book 2, however, I won't do that to you because.....


1. Victoria Klahr deserves so much more than that.

2. Since I did receive an ARC, and I am part of a book blog, I'm not quite sure I can get away with that and....

3. Well... I just want to go on and on about how much I LOVED this story!!!


Let me just say.... I am so happy that I enjoyed this book so much! I just got done reading a story that I was struggling with. Reading That's A Promise is exactly what I needed and Victoria did not let me down! This is the first story that I have read from Victoria Klahr and it will NOT be my last. As a matter of fact, as soon as I am done writing this review, I am diving right into That's A Lie. I can't wait to read more about Seth, Blake and Josie! Well, I hope I'm going to read more about Seth and Josie. Or maybe Blake and Josie. Who am I kidding? I want all 3!!

Josie is dealing with getting over a past that has pulled her into darkness. Seth is the one person that Josie has always been able to depend on. They have been best friends since they were little. Anything that Josie needs or wants she knows she can always count on him. One night when Josie wants to feel something other then the pain, she asks Seth to make her feel loved . Since that night, Josie has never felt the same towards Seth. She wants to be more then just friends, but she also doesn't want to ruin what they have. So, she's determined to push her feeling for Seth aside, and move on. Who better to help with that then Blake! Josie meets Blake in college and they instantly have a connection. Their relationship starts as friends and moves on to be pretty steamy!

I loved the love triangle between Blake, Seth and Josie. Throughout the entire story, I kept going back and forth between Blake and Seth...unsure of who I wanted her to be with. One moment I wanted her to choose Blake and then the next I wanted her to pick Seth! I still to this point am not sure who I want!! Between the two, they were both willing to fight for Josie. Josie was being pulled in two different directions and if I were her, I would have a hard time picking too! Especially since they had no problem letting her know exactly how they felt about her....

"Don't you dare think I'm lying. I haven't been the same since I met you, when those books fell from your hands and I saw how pissed you were at that guy, I knew you were going to change my world. And you have. I feel like I'm the luckiest guy in the fucking world to even get a smile from you. And to have you touch me? I can't breath. It's not a joke to me, so don't downplay what I feel."

or

"I'm madly in love with you Josie. It makes me sick to see you keep going back to him when I know I can give you everything in this fucking world. I would go to the ends of the goddamn earth to make you mine and keep you there."

I seriously loved this story, and I KNOW I will continue to love what's next! The only thing that I wish was a little different was the way it was written when it came to the past and present. I prefer books that go in order verses going back and forth. However, this is just something minor and it did not change my rating by any means! I would definitely recommend this story to anyone that likes love triangles/best friend romances! As for book 2, I will be starting that now, and ...... That's A Promise!
