Molly is a very independent woman she knows what she wants and always goes for it. In this case she finds a sweet and fun guy that turns out to have a lot of issues. She falls in love with him and hopes that she can be enough. He is an up coming rock star and temptations are everywhere.
He cant stick to his promise and has her whole world spinning so much that she goes where she knows she will be safe and able to make the decisions on their future.
Liam has a drug and alcohol problem and cant seem to stay away from his demons. He makes many mistakes and just cant seem to get it right. He thinks that their love will get him through his errors.
I really didn't like this book it had a sweet story but Liam seemed to always disappoint in the end. He thought they could always work through it.
The book flashes from past to present but every time she seems to decide that she's better off with out him she has a good memory and justifies their messy relationship. I feel that this book had no resolve the ending was just that an ending that really made no sense its missing a lot of the story.
A lot happens in the last few chapters. I would have liked to see a flash forward and what happens to them as a couple and how they worked it out or ended it. It just seems like its saying its ok to be with an addict and make it work.

I don't think this was a well written book at all. It had such potential to be great, especially because of the plot. But it definitely did not meet up to the potential it should have. It didn't get me excited or actually make me feel any real emotion at all. It was a dread reading it and I always feel obligated to finish a book I've started, that's the only reason I could bring myself to finish it.

On the back cover of this book it says, "A fun read." Although I am enjoying the book I wouldn't exactly call it fun yet. I'll write more when I finish.

Ok, so I finished a few days ago. I still don't get why it would say, "A fun read" on the back cover. Weird way to describe it if you ask me. Anyway, it was an ok book. Not particularly compelling.

It was like I was reading this cause it's in book sale.

The story was touching, falling in love with the guy who really loves you. Then He was not as perfect as we think. But he got back and is now won Mooly's heart again ♥

It was interestingly written, but just was my kind of plot. I did like how it went back in time and then back into the present. But I felt like there was too much going on. It is still a decent book, but was not my favorite.

My heart and mind got tangled up by this book. Molly and Liam's lovestory was really more of like a daydream to me. Rebecca Bloom made me feel that it could really happen. I did want to fall in love and do everything as what my heart tells me to.

A little on the soft side at times, but the life of the main character is as real as any other adult living in NY, even though she isn't from New York.
