I left that Sadie behind though. I'm going to reinvent myself. No more letting boys lead me to their bedrooms at the end of the night, or waking up in strange beds in the morning. No more out of control shopping trips, or parties till dawn. I will make the Dean's list and be the child they miss. I promised I would no longer be the screw up daughter who did nothing but disappoint.
"God night... not goodbye." His lips brushed across my cheek. "I won't give up. If you're not going to fight for this... I'll do it for the both of us."
I can't remember feeling so relaxed with someone. He looks at me differently. Like I matter. As though what I have to say is important. My guard falls every time he is around. And that's the last thing I need right now.
"You just don't get it Sadie. In my whole life, I have never felt like this. Since that moment I saw you, I felt like there was purpose in my life. I no longer feel alone and I never want this feeling to leave."


Def does not cover it for me. This book was amazing. Sadie is @ Drayton University when she realizes she is not the person she want's to be, things she has done, the person she is becoming so she transfers out and goes to Western College for her Senior year for a fresh start. Her roommate is Jessa, and she drags her to a bar/house and this is where Sadie meets Brady. He is in a band and is the total opposite of anything that she has ever fallen for or been with, she fights it of course, he asks her to stay and watch his band perform, and she stays until after they start playing and then she sneeks out. But Brady is not about to give up, this beautiful story is about Brady and Sadie learning what love really is, about learning to trust and opening your heart to someone even when you feel like you could never do it again. It's about being loved no matter what has happened in your life, or what is currently going on in your life.
Yes he does have a few secrets, but they are def not "deal breakers". I love how he loves Sadie unconditionally, does not judge, just loves. How perfect that could be in real life. The side characters just made the book that much better, I have read several books, where I could not stand the side kicks, Jessa is a great friend, and just what Sadie needs. Sadie's Mom and grandma LOVE them!!! OH, and Grant!!! yummy!!! Can't wait for his story!!!!
I just finished Michelle's other book Love Me Back, and I def needed this heart warming story to snap me back, both amazing reads, but so opposite. Both get 5 stars from me. So if you liked this book pick up Love Me Back, Michelle is a very talented writer, I can see her shooting straight to the top!!!
"You're the only girl who consumes my thoughts, my dreams, and my mind."
"You have no idea how much I want to feel your body against mine."
"Sadie, you are so beautiful, remember that always. Don't ever think you are anything less than exceptional because in my eyes, you are everything."
"I'm thankful that I am no longer alone. That I have my one and only by my side forever and always. Never let go, babe..."
