Kara Marcus is
desperate to forget the past and move on. But she can’t escape her
choices—especially when she finds herself falling in
love…
Since the first day she stepped
into her childhood Southern Baptist church, two truths have been engrained in Kara
Marcus’s head: sex before marriage is bad and murder is a sin. And that’s why
Kara can never forgive herself for what she did at the age of
sixteen.
Now, as second semester of freshman
year comes to a close, Kara has stood by her high school boyfriend, Ethan. But as they
seem to grow further and further apart every day, Kara realizes that she has
feelings for someone else: Ethan’s roommate Colt.
Suddenly, Kara’s clear-cut world
shifts out of focus, and she’s torn between what her head tells her is right and what her
heart is desperately pushing her to do—even if it means committing another
undeniable sin...
Connect with Melissa
Miles From Kara was
pretty good. The story was pretty straight forward that didn’t really have that
much drama outside of what Kara was putting herself through. She never really
brought other people into her drama. She was one who tried to deal with
everything by herself. Even though there were other characters in the book it
was definitely the Kara story.
“This…this kiss was powerful and intense and full of
deep, dark emotions that we’d yet to explore.”
Kara went through
something that she can’t forgive herself for. Now years later she feels it
creeping in a taking over her life. She is no longer the Kara she used to be
and everyone can see that. Now she has to decide if she is still IN love with
her boyfriend of two years or is it time to move on. Maybe with her boyfriend’s
hot roommate.
“I had stood mere feet away from Ethan and had felt
nothing at all. Not regret. Not a tug of old feelings. Nothing. But being here
with Colt, seeing the worry on his face when he’d opened the door, it was
unlike anything I’d ever felt before. And that was when I realized what I was
feeling-love. I loved Colt. I absolutely, completely, and totally loved him.”
This story was pretty
interesting and the writing was done well. I liked Kara’s narrative and the
dialogue between the characters was full of caring and emotion. One of the
things I didn’t really care for was that we didn’t really get to know any of
the other characters. I felt like I didn’t really get to connect with Ethan or
even Colt. I felt like the timeline was a little off too. I mean it felt like
she had this big epiphany at 90% and then she was changed and completely
better. It didn’t feel genuine to me. Other than that I really enjoyed the book
and would really recommend it.
