After six years, Willa Ames is back in Lawton. She used to lived in her grandmother's house since she was young. Her grandmother works for the Lawton family where she met her childhood best friends, Gunner Lawton and Brady Higgens. Things have changed when she went in a correctional center for girls for 6 months, she can't forgive herself over an incident that made her feel guilty for her bad decisions. Healing and earning her grandmother's trust again by doing good at school are her priorities. Being distracted by boys isn't a good idea but Gunner and Brady cared and wanted her. Who will win her heart? Brady -- the boy she had a crush on for a long time but has a girlfriend or Gunner -- the boy whom she can trust on everything but unloved by his family and is complicated to be with? 
 I'm skeptical on continuing this series since I didn't enjoy the first book that much. I decided to give it another chance and I'm glad it's quite better. The Lawton family drama stood out in this book. It's complicated, messed up and the revelations are so good. Gunner's perspective is more entertaining than Willa and Brady's persepective. Supposedly, I'll give this 4 stars but I rated it down to 3 because the epilogue is underwhelming and I feel like there is no closure between Brady and Gunner (about Willa). Also, I want to know more about Riley's story and I hope she'll have her own book in the future. This sequel is good enough for me to continue the series.
