About the Book
After getting married and having children way too young, recently
divorced Presley Williams decides to move on with her life, but not
before reliving her teen years while working as a DJ in a teen dance
club. As the center of attention, Presley gets caught up in the
popularity as well as the drama. When Presley meets Drew Mansfield, she takes a seat on a roller coaster that turns into the ride of her life. Her best friend and soul mate, Drew becomes Presley’s obsession. But when Drew gets sentenced to years in prison, Presley’s love and loyalty is tested.
In a desperate attempt for companionship, she turns to Drew’s rival and cousin, Kendall Roberts. What starts out as friendship turns to a hot romance that takes Presley by surprise. Now, caught up in a tormenting love triangle with two bad boys, Presley is forced to make the hardest decision of her life. Choices have consequences. Consequences that affect three souls. Three souls knitted together but forever changed. Who will Presley choose?

Now for the review
Who was your favorite character?
I
actually have 2, Presley, of course, but also Luke. Presley is the
obvious choice, you can relate to her. She has a rough marriage, then
ends up divorced with 2 kids, living with her parents basically. She's
in her mid 20's and doesn't quite want to grow up yet, to an extent.
Next is Luke, even when Presley isn't being the wife she should be, he
still stands with her. He loves her, and you cant help but admire that
quality. He wants his marriage to work, so he waits patiently until she
tells him to leave.
Did this book make you laugh or cry?
Both. There are instances where you're doing both at the same time even. You laugh, cry, get mad, you feel it all.
How long did it take you to read this book?
Only 4-5 hours. Once I started, I didn't stop until I was done.
Would you read another book by this author?
Most definitely!
Did you find the book believable?
I
really did. As a woman who was divorced at 22 with a small child, I had
some of these same feelings and thoughts. My life wasn't like
Presley's, but if my story had been anything like hers, I could see
myself responding in some of the same ways.
If this book was made into a movie, who would you see as the leading male?
I can't really come up with anyone right off the top of my head, I'll answer this later lol
What was you favorite thing about Presley/Eve?
She
knew in many of the situations that she was in, it wasn't right. Yet
she had this urge to just let go. At times she might've let go too much,
but she learned from it. I think it made her, in the end, a better
mother, wife, and person. Sometimes you have to mess up before you can
truly find yourself.
Awesome!
