“I’d live the rest of my life crazy as long as I get to be crazy for her” – Chase

Alina
I was eleven when I met Chase Adams. I loved him before I knew what lovin’ was.
I pulled, he pushed.
I gave, he took.
I loved… I lost.
Now he’s back. All grown up and sexy as sin.
But things changed while he was gone.
So, he can show those dimples and flex those muscles all he wants.
It won’t change a thing.
Chase Adams is nothin’ but a lost memory. I’ll do everything I can to keep him that way.

Chase
Growing up, there were only two women I ever loved.
Neither one of them ever really loved me back.
Until her. Alina. My Goldi.
She was everything that’s good. I was the bad.
She was the brightest goddamn star. I was the black hole shredding her to pieces.
I loved her wrong, losing her to my demons.
But now I’m back. A better man.
I’ll do everything I can to make her remember us, even if all she wants is to forget.

****I really really enjoyed this book. I love how real it felt following their lives from pre-teens to their mid to late 20s. It touched on real life issues, dealing with loved ones with addictions, loss of loved ones, loss of first loves, then second chances. It even touches on caring for your mental health to process all of those things.

Chase was your typical guy when hes younger lacking communication skills and always saying and doing the right and wrong thing at the same time. Goldi was your typical small town sweetheart, who puts everyone before herself. I loved their story and the way they got a second chance. I also loved how the side characters were an integral part of the story and not just there to be fillers. They actually made the story better. It was so well written. I definitely recommend.****
