\"21SK<\/a>Book Blurb:<\/h2>\n

When I first met him I resisted.
\nLike any forbidden love, I told myself he was a crush, and it would pass.
\nThat was a lie. It never faded.
\nAnd I never expected he would fall for me just as hard.\u00a0<\/em>
\nThere were so many reasons that should have kept us apart, least of all, the decade that separated us.
\nGrowing up in New York City, I learned early on that love is a double-edged sword.
\nLove broke up my parents, love took away my friends, and love — the big, intense, never-been-like-this-before love — landed me in therapy.
\nNow I’m heading to college, and it’s time to give love a clean slate again. But, can I really start over when he’s still in my life?
\nBecause the one man I’ve always wanted, is also the only guy I absolutely can’t have\u2026
\nAnd he wants me just as fiercely.
\nCan I settle for anything less than the love of my life?<\/p>\n

Review:<\/h2>\n

Kennedy is the daughter of a very popular TV show writer.\u00a0 She is also the daughter of a woman who shows that love is exchangeable.\u00a0 Kennedy doesn’t want that.\u00a0 She only wants the love of her life.\u00a0 Unfortunately, that love of her life is the twenty-something Noah.\u00a0 Noah also happens to be her mother’s agent.\u00a0 To complicate matters they must pretend and lie which is exactly what neither wants to do.\u00a0 Though their love affair is made up entirely of stolen kisses they know that nothing can go forward until she is 18.\u00a0 But, will they last long enough to see if they are just made up of stolen kisses or will they find out that there is more to them then their love.
\nNoah and Kennedy were such a great pair of characters.\u00a0 You can’t help yourself but to fall for them.\u00a0 As a reader you will go back and forth whether you are cheering them on or condemning what they are doing.\u00a0 The complexity of Kennedy’s story was so deep that you really felt like you were reading about someone much other than her 17 years.\u00a0 It’s in this that you really forget the age gap between them.\u00a0 Their love pops off the page and will burrow its way into your heart.\u00a0 It will make you feel all gooey and warm until its broken and unfortunately you feel that too.\u00a0 Overall, it was a great book.\u00a0 I loved every enthralling word that Lauren Blakely put on those pages.\u00a0 I will definitely be picking up more of her books….as should you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
