You were the glorified football captain, the heartthrob, the most popular boy in school and yet suddenly you vanish leaving all your horrid friends pointing the finger at me, circling like hungry vultures to see if I would break.
They just didn’t know that I already had. Daily. For months I cried for you. You. Broke. Me.
You taunted and tormented me for years until you finally convinced me to fall in love with you. You said, “Nothing can ever tear us apart.” And I believed you.
But you lied.
And then you left.
Without a word, without a touch, without a sound.
You. Just. Left. Right when my world fell to pieces, you lit the match and watched from afar, as what remained went up in flames.
So, if I ever do see your stupidly handsome face again, you’ll be nothing more than the boy I used to know. The boy who broke my heart and crushed my soul all in a single day.
Because Jacob Lynch… I have no more XO’s to give.
No longer yours,
Rosie.

P.S. I hate how much I still love you

Review
Disclaimer: I received an Advance Reader Copy at no cost from the publisher/author. All opinions in my review are my own.
This is an enemies-to-lovers story with a side of second chance romance. This is one of those ugly cry stories that you can't get out of your head once you've finished it. This book put me through the wringer with my emotions.
I really liked the storytelling in this book. The story is told in both past and present. We get to see how things are now and see the events that brought Jacob and Rosie to the present. The world-building is very descriptive so that you can feel the story all around you. The twists in the story are ones that I did not see coming.
The lead characters in this story have a lot of depth. It is easy to step into their worlds while reading. Rosie's character is one that I gravitated to instantly. There wasn't anything not to like about her. Her character spoke to me on so many levels. Jacob's character isn't one that won me over at first. It was very gradual as the story progressed. Some of the secondary characters also make the story what it is. I liked the way the author wrote the characters that were horrible human beings. It was easy to hate them.
Overall, this book is an emotional rollercoaster that you won't want to miss out on! This story does contain some sensitive subject matter but it is a story that will touch your heart. I am excited to read more from this author!
