MY REVIEW

Matteo, gone for years returns home for the reading of her father's will. But he isn't prepared for the outcome. Holly, Matteo's lifelong friend, hasn't spoken to him in years and isn't sure she wants to rekindle their friendship.

The characters are well-developed and each with their own regrets and broken promises. I was wrapped up in their struggles and found myself rooting for them.

The story is about two people with hardened hearts. Each one with its own set of circumstances. Forgiveness is hard to imagine as they find themselves in a battle that seems there is no answer to.

It's a powerful story with lots of tension, times of frustration, and uncertainty.  The ending wrapped everything up nicely. An emotional and uplifting read that I highly recommend.

I received a complimentary copy from the publisher and voluntarily choose to review it. All opinions are my own.
