3/21/14: Almost by Anne Eliot

Cover: I love the simplicity of it overall. I like how it ties into the book also. 
Author: Anne Eliot
Genre: Contemporary, Romance, Rape
Goodreads Blurb: At a freshman party she doesn't remember, Jess Jordan was almost raped.

...Almost. Very nearly. Not quite. Three years later, Jess has managed to make everyone believe she's better. Over it. Because she is.

...Almost. Very nearly. Not quite.

Unfortunately, until Jess proves she's back to normal activities, her parents won't discuss college. So, she lands a summer internship and strikes a deal with hockey jock, Gray Porter: He gets $8,000. She gets a fake boyfriend and a social life. 

Jess has no idea Gray signed on for reasons other than money. She also never expects to fall in love. But Gray’s amazingly hot, holds her hand all the time, and makes her forget that he’s simply doing his job. It’s like having a real boyfriend.

...Almost. Very nearly. Not quite.

Gray Porter is hiding secrets of his own. About Jess Jordan. About why he’s driven to protect her, why he won't cash her checks, or deny her anything she asks.

Review:

This story touched my heart. It told an amazing story about a broken girl and a guilty boy in a terrifying world. It was funny and snarky and sweet. It was beautiful in every single way possible. 

 Guys I am not joking. This book made me unbelievably crazy with feels. I was crying and jumping up and down and smiling like an idiot.

I loved the ultimate character development between both characters. Jess learns more from herself. Jess digs deep and opens up. It all just touched me so much.

It was such a well written story and I will forever have no words for its perfection.  

Future News:
Anne Eliot is the author of Unmaking Hunter Kennedy and there is no news about future stories.

Note: 
Sorry this is such a disappointingly small review. It lacks a lot of detail. I read this book a while ago and totally forgot to review it. Just know that it was extremely good.
