I wanted to conquer the world.
She wanted to gaze at the stars.
It’s been twelve years since I last saw Scottie Rucker. A
grim prognosis has upended my life, and no amount of my hard-earned money can
fix it. So, after leaving a note on the nightstand, I search for my first love—I search for life.
When I find her in Austin, working at a quaint general store
and living in an RV behind it, those twelve years vanish. She’s exactly how I
remember her.
Scottie thinks our reunion is a small-world coincidence, and
I’m not ready to tell her the truth. After we rekindle our friendship, she
convinces me to work part-time at the store while she pursues her budding
relationship with Koen, a welder and the grandson of a customer.
Scottie’s ability to live in the moment is exactly what I
need. But how do I convince her new boyfriend that I’m not his competition?
And what
happens if my heart changes its mind?
Price + Scottie + Koen
Scottie and Price dated twelve years ago while he was in college in Philadelphia.
But they wanted different things from life. Price wanted everything and Scottie just had her little dreams. So they parted ways.
And now - the week Scottie has a blind date with Koen - a customer's grandson - Price shows up at her store. Out of the blue after 12 years!
But he doesn't want her back - he just wants to be near her.
And Scottie is really falling fast for Koen.
What will happen with those three?
Will there be a HEA???
READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT! 
WELL ....Why am I always reading those heartbreaking books?
I hate love triangles and I hate sick main characters.
I don't read those books. So why am I here?
Ugh. Idiot.
I loved this. I loved all three of them and I loved the locations and the dog and the funny moments and the sad moments. But I also hated those sad moments so much!
It was a beautiful book. 'Nough said.
I need to read a super funny rom-com after this!
Wouldn't mind seeing this on TV one day soon!
I THOUGHT OF YOU was such a sweet and heartbreaking and beautiful first love and second chance and ... so much more love story. Read it!
