"You already know me better than anyone else. The way I see it, that's really just the beginning."


Let's start with this...I am so happy that the prologue was relating to the past. I can not stand when stories start with a prologue and it's related to something that is going to take place later in the story. I feel that by doing that, the author is giving away major parts of the storyline! The last story I read was like that, and it basically took away a major moment. So...thank you Shae Scott for using the prologue the way I think it should be! With that being said, I was already hooked by reading the prologue. I also liked that the areas that were written in Owens P.O.V showed us his thoughts and flashbacks from the past. Reading about how Owen and Ally's friendship started, was nice and made me fall in love with Owen. He was so sweet to her and hearing how much he really cared for her while they were in high school, was really cute.

Owen and Ally's relationship stopped after one night when the lines in their friendship were crossed. Ally gets scared and leaves for college without even saying goodbye to Owen. Now...years later, they find each other through a social network and become friends again. They begin to have a friendship and soon find themselves right back where they left off. Their relationship is really comfortable and things tend to lead them to the next level. However, Owen has been keeping a secret from the beginning and finally lets Ally know. At first Ally isn't sure what to do. She knows that she can't let him go, so she agrees to move forward and deal with the circumstances with Owen and his job.

Ally and Owen were cute together. I was able to connect with their relationship and I can see the connection they had with each other. I loved seeing Owen open up and start to let his guard down around Ally. Growing up, he was always afraid that he was never good enough for her and felt that he would grow up to be just like his dad. So instead he worked hard, and was able to succeed in life through his work. Owens only downfall was that he put his work above everything else, including Ally. The ending was sad. I totally understood the decision that Ally had to make when it came to Owen. As for the epilogue, that's when I my eyes got blurry for the first time in this story, which in return, left me wanting more!
