I
actually did not expect to like this book as much as I did. It was refreshing and unexpectantly
grounded. This book started off with
childhood sweethearts, Carly and Austin.
Carly has had it up to here with Austin and his rodeo adventures and she
is ready for a wedding. Austin is quite ready to hang up his saddle from the
rodeo just yet. Carly finally gets a backbone and breaks up with Austin, but in
the process she makes a hug mistake? Is it too late for Austin to save his
relationship with Carly? Well, let's find out.
You
see, Carly and Austin are childhood lovers and Carly is waiting for the life
changing question. While Carly runs her
grandparents diner, Austin is a bull rider in his prime. Carly and Austin are the town sweethearts and
everyone in town just know that they will be together forever. Lately, Carly has been reassessing her life
and their relationship and has come to the conclusion that her life is siting
still and she is not being taken seriously by the townspeople or Austin. After a big, yearly argument, Carly and
Austin break up for good or so Carly believes.
Ready to come from Austin's shadow, Carly buys her a motorcycle and
takes a much need trip out of town where she makes a huge mistake. When Austin realizes too late that he has
lost Carly, his inner battle is raw and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing him
mature. The rise and fall of their
relationship was inspiring and realistic.
The long, hard road that they had to travel for their relationship added
appeal and grit to the story.
On
the other hand, Carly as a character annoyed me a little throughout the story,
but as I read on, her character arc won me over. Austin started off immature, but his
character gradually grew up . The pacing
was kinda weird because when the story concluded, it seemed unfinished.
I
loved this story and it has been a long time since I have read a book that was
so down to earth and unconventional.
This story is about growing up and finding your self-worth and this book
oozed with girl power. I give this story
4 stars and I will advise you to go pick up this amazing read.
p.s The title does not make much sense to me. 🤔🤔🤔
