Two years after her best friend was involved in a car accident that
caused a traumatic brain injury, Lottie Anders is ready to start her freshman
year of college. Ready to move on. Ready to start forgetting the night that
ripped her life apart.
Her plans come to a screeching halt when not one, but both brothers responsible for the accident end up back in her life again.
Zack is cruel, selfish and constantly rubbing what happened to her friend in Lottie's face.
Zan is different. He listens to her awkward ramblings. He loves "To Kill a Mockingbird" as much as she does, and his dark eyes are irresistible. His words are few and far between, but when he does speak, she can't help but listen.
The trouble is, Zan was the driver in the accident, and now Lottie's discovered he lied to her about what happened that night. Now she must decide if trusting him again will lead to real forgiveness, or deeper heartache.

My Review
Lottie just wants to have a normal life after what happened
to her best friend Lexi. That night changed everything and two years later she
finally thinks she can move on.
Zan has been punishing himself for the past two years after
what happened. He goes to what his brother calls a “Freak” school and paid for
his crimes. Now he just wants a fresh start.
What they didn’t expect was to end up at the same college.
Lottie and Zan will try to stay away from each other, but
the deeper they fall the harder it is to stay away.
What can I not say about this book. It was just that good. I’ve
been reading a lot of contemporary lately and this is as good as it gets. I
knew going in that it was going to be emotional but gosh this book was
DEEP!!!!! I’m glad it was from Lottie’s and Zan’s POV. If not it would have had
the same effect. We get to watch Lottie come to terms with what happened and
learning to forgive. We get to watch her struggle as she fights he feelings for
Zan. Zan the guy who was driving the car her friend got hurt in. Zan we find
out that he is a kind soul and all he wants to Lottie to forgive him. He is
always down on himself and sounds much older than his 17 years. I love all the
characters and they all had a part to play and they were all developed
beautifully. There were some times that I was frustrated with Lottie, but I
really enjoyed her as a character and her brother, Will. I loved watching them
interact. The hard thing to watch was Zack and Katie. I don’t know how girls
can fall for guys like him. He is just a bad person. That being said this book
is going to touch a lot of people’s hearts.
Overall: Beautifully written and emotional to the MAX.
Lottie- She has what you call “Diarrhea” of the mouth. She
is constantly talking and says whatever is on her mind. She is also a type of
person that when she loves, she loves deeply. It’s not just a little. When she
loves you, she would do just about anything to make sure that you are ok.
Will- The goof ball twin brother. He is a all around nice
guy. He is funny and I love the relationship he has with Lottie. He is a very
good brother.
Zan- He has a lot of baggage and he is a man of a few words.
He loves to run, read and listen to music. He is always taking care of his
brother when it should be the other way around. I loved getting to know him and
I might be a little in love with him.
Zack- I don’t want to go into a rant so I’ll just say he is
a complete JERK that needs to be kicked in the balls a couple of times and then have his manhood cut away……..that is all.
5 STARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
