August and Luke were sorta high school sweethearts. They weren’t actually together, they were friends. They wrote songs together. They were in love with each other but their lives were very complicated.
Luke became famous singing a song they wrote together that she didn’t get credit for. He was a has been at the beginning of the book and got tapped to sing that song alongside August’s famous mother at a performance in their hometown.
As the story unfolds, you slowly learn how they got to where they are now through flashbacks sprinkled in with the flow of the present story. You truly don’t get the entire backstory until you get near the end of the book.
This was a beautiful love story. It didn’t end the way I thought it would and that made me enjoy the story that much more. It was much more than a romance. It was about the relationship between parents who dealt with difficult situations and their children.
