Lilah is returning to her hometown in Texas after being away for a while. Something happened with her mom and because of that a rift came between Lilah and her best friend, Chase. 
 The story follows Lilah, Chase and Lilah's mother, Elaine through the events that lead to something bad that happens to the Calloway family and Matthews family. 
 I really enjoyed reading about Lilah and Chase and Elaine. The story weaves it such a way that not everything is revealed at once. There's a struggle for Lilah to only become the good parts of her mother and the whole best friend relationship with Elaine and Chase's mother, Hannah is really good. I do hate that Hannah died in this story and feel really bad for Chase losing his mother like that and Lilah losing her mother. 
 Then there's the whole struggle for Lilah to decide that she does deserve a happy ending with Chase. Good story.
