What do you do when your older brother dies the night of his graduation? Alexandra's whole world changed that day. She use to be the popular girl who partied too hard and her family use to be happy, but now they are barely ex I LOVE TIJAN!

What do you do when your older brother dies the night of his graduation? Alexandra's whole world changed that day. She use to be the popular girl who partied too hard and her family use to be happy, but now they are barely existing. Alex found comfort in the only other person hurting as much as she was, Jesse. ”I had lost my mom when I had lost Ethan. I had lost my father as well. I’d lost the family even. I still had Jesse, in some ways, but nothing was the same. I wasn’t the same.” Jesse was her brothers best friend. He was the gorgeous star basketball player that everyone worshipped. But no one knew how much he was hurting. Jesse used basketball, girls and parties to try and keep his emotions turned off. But Alex was the only person who could help him forget. They find comfort in being intimate with each other. "It was the third time we'd done this. Ethan's funeral. Ethan's birthday. And now the anniversary of the day Ethan's car wrapped itself around a tree." But Alex is afraid of him breaking her heart because she knows he will leave her like everyone else does… and Jesse knows he can't be with her because the secrets he is keeping would completely shatter her. "I can't lose you in my life and I won't risk it because of that. Sex is one thing, but sex before our friendship is another thing."

I couldn't get enough of this book! You will be hooked from the first page! The heartbreak… the angst… the passion, every second of it had me in a trance! I had moments I wanted to cry for Alex, then throw my kindle at the wall because of Jesse, and then just swoon when they were together! I am serious OMG, there are not enough words to explain how much I LOVED this book!!! Can't wait for book 2, because this end definitely leaves you needing to know what happens next! You will enjoy every moment of this story!!!

5 AMAZING STARS!!! ...more

I don't get it??! I have come to the conclusion Tijan's writing is completely hit or miss for me....This book happen to be a miss...

This book was just depressing and bipolar!! I can't even understand all of the raves for this book! I really thought I was going to be reading another amazing read like the Fallen Crest series. The writing in those books was sooooo much better. I just don't get how the same author can write so completely different. But obviously so for, me since this definitely was ...more

Omgggg I can't believe I finished this book in like just 5 hours! I can't put it down and it made me stay up til 8am. I shouldn't have started reading a tijan book at 3am. It's so intense and gripping that I just have to know what happened next. I can't wait for the 2nd book. What an ending. It'll make me want for it to be August already or whenever this book will be published. Amazing story and I'm sure the 2nd book will be so much better. Tijan's books are all friggin awesome! Grips and hooked ...more
