A modern day fairytale told in a way that only Kiersten can pull off. This story was so beautiful. Change mixed with heartache and grief, topped with healing and growth is a powerful and ambitious task to take on, and it was executed in such a realistic and careful way. I found myself cheering for Blythe, and until t-h-e twist… I didn’t know who I wanted to be THE guy. I definitely did not see the shocking twist coming, but it played out is such a magically perfect manner. The descriptions of how Blythe felt moving to New York from her small hometown made me feel as though I were standing in her (Blythe’s) shoes. This is a tale that definitely proves that having it all, is oftentimes not nearly as charming as assumed, and that second chances are worth it. I really enjoyed this book, and I really enjoyed the characters and their journeys. I give this book 5 out of 5 stars. ( )

"I think I might love you, Blythe."
"You may have mentioned that."
"I'll mention it every single day until you're ready to say it back."

Decisions, decisions, decisions. Can you really ever be 100% sure you made the right one? Isn't hindsight 20/20? If you're anything like me, you make a choice, and then spend the next days, months, years wondering "what if". Well, Blythe has a choice to make - and its a doozy!!

On one hand, she has Finn O'Brien. He's handsome and sexy and came to her rescue on her first day in the city. He's non-committal, his apartment decor consists of empty pizza boxes, he's sending her mixed signals, but he's always there for her no matter what. Protecting her, even when danger literally comes knocking. He's surrounded by mystery and secrets but something about him draws her to him like a moth to a flame. She knows he feels it too, but he's keeping her at arm's length. Are the secrets bound to destroy them?

On the other hand, she has Asher Grace. He's got movie-star good looks, runs in the high society circles and has a bank account that could give her everything she'd ever want. But it's not the money she cares about. He makes her feel... special. He loves her, there's no doubt and he'll give her the world if that's what she wants. But is it? Asher has his own secrets, and the truth just might ruin everything.

In one glance, one crucial moment, her world starts unraveling. Everything she believed, has turned out to be a lie. Can she really trust anyone? Among the lies and secrets, is the truth. And in that truth, lies the one she belongs with. But who will it be?

I absolutely love this author. I love how she entwined everyone's lives but still kept you guessing at who is lying and who is telling the truth and who she's going to choose!! In true Modglin fashion, when it all comes out, I audibly gasped and said "Nooooo way!" So good!! Great read! Grab it now and find out if Blythe made the better choice, or if she made the wrong one!
