Release Date: October 2, 2019
I swear to God, Jacob Lynch, if I ever see your arrogant, smug face again, I’ll ruin your manhood with a swift knee.
You were the glorified football captain, the heartthrob, the most popular boy in school and yet suddenly you vanish leaving all your horrid friends pointing the finger at me, circling like hungry vultures to see if I would break.
They just didn’t know that I already had. Daily. For months I cried for you. You. Broke. Me.
You taunted and tormented me for years until you finally convinced me to fall in love with you. You said, “Nothing can ever tear us apart.” And I believed you.
But you lied.
And then you left.
Without a word, without a touch, without a sound.
You. Just. Left. Right when my world fell to pieces, you lit the match and watched from afar, as what remained went up in flames.
So, if I ever do see your stupidly handsome face again, you’ll be nothing more than the boy I used to know. The boy who broke my heart and crushed my soul all in a single day.
Because Jacob Lynch… I have no more XO’s to give.
No longer yours,
Rosie.
P.S. I hate how much I still love you

This is my first read of this author. The blurb sucked me in. I was so looking forward to how this tension was going to resolve with these two. Jacob ad Rosie clearly have a history.
Sadly, 70% of this book takes place back in high school. It isn't told in flash back. The book is done in two parts--then and now. There are people who will love this story. YA is just not my cup of tea. All that teen angst just doesn't do it for me.
Now. That said. The adult portion of the book was a good read. Rosie had some issues that she needed to resolve before these two could re-connect. Their meet-cute was epic. I loved all the wedding party. I would have liked to see more of the book about how them working on putting the past behind, earning trust again and then moving forward.
The writing is well done. The genre just is not for me. Give it a shot now knowing what the story entails.
