    About this ebook

    Just because you’re through with your past, doesn’t mean it’s through with you.
    Margaret Beringer didn’t have an easy adolescence. She hated her name, was less than popular in school, and was always cast aside as a “farm kid.” However, with the arrival of Courtney Carrington, Margaret’s youth sparked into color. Courtney was smart, beautiful, and put together—everything Margaret wasn’t. Who would have imagined that they’d fit together so perfectly?
    But first loves can scar.
    Margaret hasn’t seen Courtney in years and that’s for the best. But when Courtney loses her father and returns to Tanner Peak to take control of the family store, Margaret comes face-to-face with her past and the woman she’s tried desperately to forget. The fact that Courtney has grown up more beautiful than ever certainly doesn’t help matters.

      This is my favorite Melissa Brayden book. I love the story so much.
    • 5/5
      I thought this book was very interesting from the beginning. I loved how the characters had an undeniable connection that I myself could feel from just reading. It brought out so many emotions in me: laughter, sadness, happiness. Reminds me of the complicated time's of my first love and I. We all don't end up back with our first, but even if your friends, there's always that love connection that you will never have with another person in the world. It thickens the room when your together no matter how much you try, even if you aren't in love anymore. It's genuine and incomparable. Something so special about that first huh? Great book all around. I loved the characters so much.
