Gen and Evan are childhood sweethearts who got into a lot of shenanigans around their small town growing up. Gen realizes she needs to make significant changes to her life and stop drinking and having brushes with the law, but she can’t do that with Evan around, so she leaves without a word. When she returns to town for a funeral, she tries her hardest not to get swept up by him. 

I found these characters toxic to each other and the “will they/won’t they have it all was insufferable. I appreciate the fact that they both tried to better themselves for each other, but it felt like they were also dragging each other down without meaning to. I’m generally a very fact reader but I struggled with this one. I took a two week break on reading this and seriously considered DNFing. I normally don’t mind a second chance romance but this wasn’t my favorite.
