I rarely write reviews. If I could I would give this book six stars. I highly recommend this book which is so much more than mere romance. It's about mutual respect, self-respect, empowerment, maturity, friendship. It deals with trauma, guilt, negative peer pressure. It has well-rounded secondary characters not just a fully-developed hero and heroine. The first-person narrative voice is one of the best I've read in genre fiction. Unlike the heroines in Fifty Shades of Grey and Beautiful Disaster - both of which I was unable to finish because of the self-satisfied narrative tone - Jacqueline is a very relatable and sympathetic heroine. The hero isn't just the stuff of dreams, he's real and truly desirable in the role. It's becoming harder to find five-star books, most popular reads being so predictable, but this is a truly exceptional novel after such a long time. I will definitely read other Tammara Webber's as soon as I can get my hands on them.
