Summary
From USA Today best-selling Author Aly Martinez comes an emotional new standalone.
Growing up, Ramsey Stewart branded my soul in ways time could never heal.
At 12, he asked me to be his girlfriend.
At 13, he gave me my first kiss.
By 16, we’d fallen in love, planned a future together, and had our eyes set on the horizon.
Love never fails, right?
But for Ramsey, it did.
Love failed him.
I failed him.
The entire world failed him.
At 17, Ramsey was convicted of killing the boy who assaulted me.
"Move on", he wrote in his first and only letter from prison.
"Start a new life", he urged.
"I don’t love you anymore", he lied.
There was no such thing as giving up on Ramsey. Love may have been our curse, but he was mine - then, now, and forever.
So here I am, 12 long years later, waiting for a man I don't even know to emerge from between the chain link gates.

A Stunning Read
A beautiful story brilliantly narrated by two of the finest Narraters.
This is a story of a young love between a ‘broken’ boy and a ‘broken’ girl and how they deal with the ‘curve balls’ that life throws them and finally find an ending that's right for them.
Aly I loved listening to this book - a real winner for me!
I hope others think this way too.
I would definitely recommend this heartfelt story to other readers.

This broke my heart
When I first read this book, I couldn't get past Ramsey going to prison. I couldn't fathom why it could happen and how Thea could be left on her own. I think this is one of my absolute favourites by this author, but who knows she never fails to disappoint anyway

Dark premises, doomed love and star crossed lovers
Reading several emotional books in a row is hard on the soul, I can tell you. But sometimes, the pain is what you crave. I wanted dark premises, doomed love and star crossed lovers. Well, I’ve been served.
The flashbacks, though, were adorable, even when the events weren’t always pleasant. And maybe that’s what makes Thea and Ramsey’s relationship so beautiful–they are crutches to each other, they support each other. They build a bubble around them, and when it explodes, it’s painful. And the present is a big delicate and difficult healing process until Thea and Ramsey reconnect.
It was such a bubble, though, that we barely see them interact with other people. Even Nora, Ramsey’s sister, is more a function than a character. The past is a collection of important moments, the various steps in their relationship–the first meeting, the move from friendship to relationship, etc. Their life outside is barely mentioned. Of course, that means we focus on Thea and Ramsey, and it makes their story more powerful.
The narration is amazing. Both narrators know how to express the depest feelings, and they cause many tiny heartbreaks. But they also offer witty and lively banter. Just know that you’ll need a box of tissues.

I loved it!
I loved it! Ramsey and Thea are soulmates tragically torn apart as teenagers in this wonderful friends to lovers/second chance romance. It’s an emotional, rollercoaster ride with all the feels, and some surprising twists and turns. Another great read by Aly Martinez!

Really enjoyed it
This was a quick pick for me when I ran out of books to listen to, but turned into a binge listen!
I really loved it! The storyline reminded me of the Something in the way series which I adored. Andi excellent as always and Jason Clarke is now officially on my list of favourites.
Would recommend!
