A childhood crush who moved away. An adult love that shattered her world. Twenty-seven year old Mackenzie Tillson hasn’t been living for quite some time, rather, just existing. Life is passing her by and even with the love of her friends and family she can’t quite seem to snap out of the disconnected bubble she has created around her. Moving day by day as a shell of a person who once knew what it meant to live.
Until one day, the boy who first had her heart comes back. With a vengeance...Drew Dean has been apart from the girl he loved all of those years ago for far too long and now that fate has provided them with a second chance, he will make it clear to her that she is, and always has been the one for him. But what Drew discovers in the process, is Mackenzie may just end up being completely unreachable.
Is it possible to get through to someone who has no intentions of ever letting anyone in again? Can a person find their way through the darkness and emptiness they've created? For Mackenzie, trudging along in life alone is where she feels she deserves to be. But will she find it in her to fight and break the barrier of the internal distorted view she has of herself? Or will she let everyone and everything slip away?
As Mackenzie tries to piece together the remnants of her shattered existence, she inadvertently discovers life, love and loss are one in the same. A hopeful journey to be taken with an ending to fill the emptiness she's carried for too long.

*************
This book is written in a cool way- it will have present time then it will have excerpts from Mack's journal kind of explain why she is feeling the way she is. Mack is certainly a broken woman. We don't find out all the details right away but when they do come out holy moly. It's a sweet sweet romance between Drew and Mack after all this time however Drew has a secret he just can't seem to tell Mack about. I was holding my breath half way through the book waiting for the other shoe to drop. When it finally came crashing down holy crap what a mess and I didn't see how it was going to work out for Drew and Mack now. Drew's secret was a shocker. Some hot sex.
Fabulous Ending.
There are so many characters in this book that I want to know more about.
The next book coming is Jax's story (Drew's brother).
