Shelby Thatcher loved working in the bookstore that was owned by her beloved Gram. When her Gram suddenly died Shelby assumed that Gram would leave the bookstore to her. She was shocked to learn that Gram had left her only half. The other half was left to Gray Briggs. I suspected the reason Gram had left Gray part of the bookstore and i was not wrong. Gray and Shelby had been sweethearts in high school but broke off when they went different directions for school. Gray had a rough life. His mother was not in his life and his father was sent to prison for killing someone. Gray had a loving grandmother who raised him after his father was sent to prison but the stigma of having a parent in prison left a stigma on Gray. He was mistreated by the town people and was mistreated by his fellow classmates. He lost a scholarship due to someone telling a lie about him. I normally like small towns in books. They are my favorite setting but the way Gray was treated was almost unforgiveable. Even Shelby's family did not treat him right. They disliked him because they felt he had hurt Shelby. Eventually Shelby and Gray rekindled their friendship but the town still mistreated Gray even after all the years that had passed. I can't give too much away. Don't want to spoil it but keep reading. You won't be disappointed even though you experience frustration with the way people treat Gray.
