Covey U #2
Miss Me
Forgive and forget. How could he after everything I've done?
Covey U was supposed to be a fresh start. With a new identity, I should have been able to forget the past and move on with my life.
Fat chance of that happening when my past was staring at me in the face in the form of the best college wide receiver in the country.
Adam Hartley.
My biggest regret. My worst mistake. The guy I should have been with in high school was here, but he couldn't know it was me. Otherwise, he'd find out my most shameful secret. So I had to stay hidden in the background. Only problem was that he was dating my roommate, and I had to watch.
Will Hayden be able to get over her past and tell Adam the truth?
Miss Me is a second-chance romance with high school flashbacks and is an interconnected standalone part of the Covey U football series. Intended for mature listeners.

Wasted potential. I am sorry but the guy is just stupid and has no common sense! The girl changes her name, appearance, moves to another city and he just outs her at the first chance he gets! Come on dude !

amazing. the writing? amazing. the characters? amazing? the plot? amazing. adam? THE BLUEPRINT.
i was looking for a second-chance romance and this did not disappoint. i was also pleasantly surprised by the twist, and can confidently say i've never read another book that had a twist like this. it's also quite sad how realistic it was as well.
anyways, this was such a good read and has just about every trope you want. also bonus for the dual timeline because i LOVE when second-chance romances do that !! def continuing the series <3

Adam and Hayden have history. They’ve been best friends since they were ten years old, but over the years it’s been harder to maintain the friendship. Adam has been in love with Hayden for as long as he can remember but he has always felt like she has never seen him and has just used him to get the person she really wanted, it doesn’t help that Adam has always hated him.
For Hayden, Covey U was meant to be the place where she could finally start over. Life had been rough recently and getting away from it all was just what Hayden needed, Hayden looks completely different to how people remember her to be and she’s not going by the name, she’s always been know.n as either.
Unfortunately, her hopes of forgetting her old life and past mistakes come to a halt when she runs into none other than her best friend Adam, who her roommate is infatuated with. Now Hayden is doing her best to avoid the best friend she’s always loved with the hope that the secrets, lies and rumours of her past stay buried.
I loved this story. Adam is such a sweetheart and my heart breaks at the thought of him believing that he’s a doormat. He’s never been able to get over Hayden, he’s always loved her, even when she didn’t see him, even when she used him. He’s never been able to forget or replace her. Even though it’s been years since they’ve seen or talked to each other, she occupies his every thought. The moment Adam recognises and realises that his best friend is in front of him again after so long, you can just tell that he’ll do anything to protect her and be near her, even if he doesn’t know why she’s at Covey U. Going through their history in past chapters and memories ripped my heart apart, it just feels as if they kept missing their chances with each other but this time, Adam isn’t letting fear or another guy get in

I DEVOURED this book!! I loved every second of wondering when Adam and Hayden were going to be together and seeing everything they went through to get to the point where they could be honest with each other about their feelings was worth every second of the read! I loved these characters so much and I felt for them because having been in both of their situations of either not feeling good enough for someone and loving someone that you’re convinced doesn’t feel the same way really made me attach myself to them. To see them finally get the happiness they deserved was so heartwarming to see. There was also a good amount of drama that made me keep reading to know what was going to happen. This is by far one of my favorite football romance books I’ve ever read and I am so excited to read the next one!

📚 BOOK REVIEW 📚
Miss Me - @authoranashay
This is the second book in the Covey U series and deals with some heavier topics so I would definitely check trigger warnings before reading. As with all of Ana's books the reader will go on quite a journey with the characters but they will get their happy ending.
If ever there was a couple that deserved a happy ending, it's Hayden and Adam. They went to high school together and were good friends but they harboured feelings for each other that were so much more than friendship. As with all high school romances there are twists, turns and complications.
Hayden arrives at Covey U with red hair, new contact lenses and a new name in the way of Denny. But when she bumps into Adam he knows straightaway that it's the girl he's never been able to get over. But she's so jumpy, avoids eye contact and is a shell of the girl he once knew. Determined to uncover the truth he goes on a mission to find out what happened to her.
There is a mystery element as the book builds and the reader knows something awful happened but when it's uncovered it's truly cruel and heartbreaking. Hayden just wants to be loved and I think everyone can relate to that. Adam is the sweetest and he is relentless in his quest and never gives up on her.
Their second chance romance was so sweet and at times innocent which was lovely to read because it's exactly what Hayden needed. Her character development was well written. This book made me cry at certain points but I was delighted with the outcome and it gave me the perfect mix which made for a good all round reading experience.

omg adam and hayden are the sweetest.
seeing these two and their past is just ugh. they’ve been through so much due to just one person who ruined so much of what they could’ve been when they were younger.
adam has always been in love with hayden, nothing could ever take his heart away from her, so when she finally finds her again at his college well..it’s fate…but the things she has been through well, how could someone ever treat her like that.
hayden, poor sweet hayden. she did not deserve to go through what she did, she didn’t deserve to be treated that way. and her ex definitely NEVER deserved her.
she’s hiding from her past, changed her whole look just to get away. to forget what happened, to not be the target. but little did she know she would run into her high school best friend..the one she always had feelings for.
we get povs from the past and get to see how things played out which added so much depth to these characters and feelings for one another.
their story is full of love, healing, caring, facing the past, and just all around finally being with the one you were always meant to be with.

Miss Me had a lot going for it, but it did not fully land for me. I liked the college setting and the overall premise, and there were moments where the characters really pulled me in. The emotional setup had potential, especially with the second chance angle, but it felt a little uneven in how it played out.
From what I have seen in other reviews, a lot of readers were really invested in the angst and the backstory, while others felt like the conflict dragged on longer than it needed to. I fall somewhere in the middle. I appreciated the tension and the history between the characters, but at times it started to feel repetitive, like we were circling the same issues without enough progression.
The chemistry was there, and I did enjoy some of their interactions, but I wanted a bit more depth in how everything was resolved. It wrapped up in a way that felt a little too quick compared to how long the buildup lasted.
Overall, I would give it three stars. It was a decent read and had some strong moments, but it did not hit as hard as I hoped. I would still be interested in reading more from this series, though.

I have a sweet spot for flawed and misunderstood heroines. Especially when they are in the midst of their adolescence and navigating youthful lessons and mistakes as new adults.
Hayden’s past is pain and devastation; filled with yearning, longing, and constant search for self-worth. And she unfortunately tries to fill the void with a boy who’s no good for her.
This heavily follows to her current reality of fleeing her dream college, masking her identity, and coming face to face with the one she was always meant to be with.
The brewing romance is sweet and gentle. Adam helps Hayden reclaim her life and the love they always deserved.

Unspoken love
This story takes a toll on your emotions.
Adam and Haydens story is deep. From young love, miscommunication, lost friendship, some pretty messy drama to finding each other after 4 years, there is a lot to take in from this story.
Haydens story is messy and hard-hitting to read at times, but there is light at the end of her dark, horrid tunnel.
Adam never moved on from her, and his love for her runs so deep. He never forgot her.
This story takes a spin on your emotions for sure, but it is definitely worth your reading time.

The childhood friend, second chance romance is what I love the most in this book, its a short book so reading it wouldn't take long.
I wouldn't say this book is bad but wouldn't say it's my new fav either, maybe because I read it while I'm in a reading slumb so I didn't quite enjoyed it fully. But what I will say in confident is what I'll wait for Matty books, I don't think it out yet but I'll wait because I think his and Britt has quite a history there.

I really enjoyed reading this book. Again just like book one, the lack of communication in this book, lol. Other than that it was really good. Emotional roller coaster with everything that went down with Hayden. Beautiful ending!!

Loved it
Adams love story was a little different than I expected but I found myself unable to stop because I needed to know how it ended. Looking forward to the next installment.

page turner
Hayden and Adams story was one I couldn’t put down. It made me feel all the feels and shed quite a few tears over Hayden’s story. This is definitely a good read.

Adam just can’t get over his childhood friend Hayden, dispite his friends setting him up with Britt. No girl is catching his attention the way Hayden did until he meets Denny. Denny is Britts mysterious new roommate but there’s something about her drawing Adam in.
Denny moved colleges for a fresh start, no one will recognise her here or will they?
This was my least fave couple/book of the series and i’ll be honest I didn’t really connect with Hayden however I do love Adam and I was really interested in the storyline which sent me down a rabbit hole about sororities and hazing rituals. Being from the UK we don’t have sororities here so it was very interesting to learn about.

Okay wow, definitely a new favorite author. Great storytelling. Heartbreaking and frustrating at times, but it all works out in the end.

This was such a cute story. A lot of miscommunication in the past but I love how they got a second chance

Just as good as the rest, with a decent amount of spice. I feel like I’m writing the same review over and over again, but the whole series is so good.

I personally LOVE Adam. He is the definition of the PERFECT book boyfriend. He is such a good man but also has that dirty talk that makes us all MELT. Hayden’s story is so heartbreaking she was victim to what many of us young girls end up feeling and experiencing as young women. She was head over heels for a man who just wasn’t a good guy and he was popular so he had the suite of all the girls in school but Adam was her best friend. When she went to college Adam wasn’t there and she experienced something horrific. Definitely my favorite in the series thus far.
