MY REVIEW
Ivy's the new girl in her senior year of high school when she catches the eye of the one of the cool guys. She knows there's not a chance in hell that Corey's really interested in her, not when only one person in the school actually talks to her. But somehow Corey seems really interested, so much that he even proposes a fake dating situation to be a buffer between her and the rest of the mean girls and guys at the school. She had no idea that fake would quickly turn real, and now she's faced with what happens when they graduate and their dreams take a divergent path.
I'm an 80s girl, so this story really resonated with me, even though nothing like what Ivy went through even remotely happened to me. The flashbacks gave a strong view of Ivy's past, and the balance between them and Ivy and Corey and their time together in high school is well done. Really the only complaint I have is that the majority of the story is based on either Ivy's past while she was in captivity, or in the 80s when they were in high school. The actual time of them as a couple in their present was too short for my tastes, but what there was of them in the present was sweet and their chemistry is seriously sizzling. I need to read more 80s love stories now, because Ivy and Corey reminded me just how much I love that decade!
