I couldn’t put this book down, guys! If you like love triangles and angst, this is the one for you!

Lennon first met Brady and Finn in the 3rd grade when the was the “new girl” in Agua Mesa, Arizona.  They have been the best of friends ever since. So much so, that they made a pact 8 years ago that if one of them went back to Agua Mesa, the other two would go along in solidarity and support. When Lennon’s mother unexpectedly dies of a heart attack, she is forced to go back home to handle the arrangements. Lennon had a terrible home life growing up, so she doesn’t really feel any sort of loss. However, she is once again faced with the painful events of the past that she has tried and failed to outrun ever since. And the hardest part of it all is that her two best friends that she loves, Brady and Finn, are now men who are both in love with her. Brady, the steady, level-headed young lawyer who grew up with everything handed to him, but would still give anyone the shirt off of his back. Finn, an app developer and hard worker, has been stealing kisses with Lennon since they were teenagers, and he isn’t afraid to profess his love to her. Raised by his uncle in a trailer on the wrong side of town, he was not handed anything like Brady. He is also fiercely protective of Lennon. Being in constant close proximity to both men is cause for some very angst-filled romance, my friends. The romance is actually quite tame throughout the book, but Millikin definitely knows how to amp up the passion, through tender scenes with stolen kisses in this impossibly difficult love triangle. Lennon knows that she loves both Brady and Finn, and she always will. But, which one is she in love with? 

You’ll have to read it and find out. I don’t want to give away any more of the plot, and you’ll thank me for that later. I loved this story and can hardly wait for the next book in the series (One Good Thing) to come out in Spring 2020. The cliffhanger on this one, though. Jeesh, everything was going along just fine and then the last sentence…Boom!

Book Blurb:

My whole life I’ve known Finn Jeffries and Brady Sterling would be my undoing.
The three of us were inseparable, but growing up with two boys as your best friends comes with it’s own certain type of growing pains.
As a child, Finn was wild and free, and grew up to be a devilishly handsome man with a smirk that frustrated me as much as it did other things to me.
Brady was brave and loyal, and the kind of man he grew into didn’t surprise me a bit: devoted and gallant, with a handsome, trustworthy face that made my heart beat faster.
We went our separate ways for college, but now it’s eight years later and a pact we made back then has brought us back to our hometown.
Back to the complicated situation we ran from.
Back to the love triangle we never really escaped.
I love them both, and it’s time for me to make a choice.
I’ve always known one of them would be my forever, I just never knew which one.
And I still don’t.
