Synopsis:
Anna works two jobs to get herself through college and never, ever talks about her family. It’s easier to keep her distance from everyone until she can finally leave her old life behind. That is, until chance throws her together with Gabe …
Gabe is top of the class, in a fancy fraternity, and has a big, perfect, warm-hearted family. He is everything Anna is not. Their connection is undeniable. His silver-blue eyes pierce right through her, and he makes her laugh in ways she never thought possible. But Anna would do anything to stop Gabe from discovering her darkest secret, and the real reason she goes home every night to a cold, silent apartment…
When Gabe and his family get close to the truth, Anna runs, vowing to never see them again. But forever is a long time…
Years later. Tragedy brings Anna back to the town she grew up in—a place she escaped a decade ago. When Gabe wraps his strong arms around her, it’s like finally finding home.
But when the truth comes out after all these years, will both their worlds come crashing down? Gabe is the one person Anna trusts but what if he has secrets, too? And how much pain can two hearts endure, before they are torn apart forever?
It All Comes Back to You will make you laugh, cry with both joy and pain, and hold your loved ones tight.
Review:
The author is new to me so I wasn’t really sure what to expect here but it definitely exceeded any expectations I had because this was really good! From the moment I started I was immediately drawn into the story of Anna and Gabe, they’re the kind of characters that you form an instant connection with and I was very invested in their story. It follows the two of them over a long period of time and the depth and growth of their characters was excellent. While I loved Gabe it was Anna who really stole my heart, she had such a sad backstory but she was such a resilient and strong woman that I couldn’t help but root for her so hard. There are some heavy issues explored here but it was also very heartwarming and uplifting as well. I adored my time with these characters and so appreciated this beautiful story of love, loss, hope and friendship.
Overall rating: 4.5/5
