Kiss To Remember - Anna B. Doe

Some moments define the trajectory of your life.

Grace Shelton has experienced her fair share of loss and trauma, but moving to Blairwood is her chance for a new beginning.

For Trent Remington, going to college is a chance to break free of his overprotective parents and finally play basketball.

Some moments will change it forever.

When Grace collides into Trent by accident, she sees the last person she ever expected to find - the boy that’s been haunting her dreams for the past two years. Trent might belong to another girl, but he can’t seem to get the redhead with the sad eyes out of his mind no matter how hard he tries.

Together, they might risk everything for a chance at love, but will a kiss be enough to make him remember?

This book was so much more than I had anticipated and I loved every second of it. I was already a fan of the Blairwood University series so when Anna reached out to see if I was interested in the latest installment I jumped at the chance and I am SO grateful because WOW.

We get a peek into the lives of those characters throughout, and get to see their stories unfold along side the story of Trent and Grace. Trent is a college basketball player who is trying to find his place in the world. He suffers from headaches occasionally, some of which are caused by the nagging of his girlfriend (couldn’t help the dig there) but some come from the moment he lies eyes on Grace. Grace is a realistic example of a girl who found and lost love and is trying to put herself back together again. She fell hard for a boy at her local community center at 16 and after their first date, first kiss, he disappeared without a trace. Worlds collide when Grace meets Trent, a carbon copy of the boy she loved, so how could she not fall for him when he’s just as charming and handsome as her Mason? 

The friendships and family in this book were top tier. I love the support Grace has surrounding her. Not once did any of them make her think she is a burden or a nuisance. They let her express her emotions how she deemed fit and helped her along the way. It was amazing! Trent also had great friendships, some of which readers understand the significance of at the end. 

This story was full of twists and turns that I was not excepting and got much deeper as well. I read a lot of surface level, just for the steam, type books but something I’ve said I the past is I admire Anna’s writing. She takes serious topics, some that may be uncomfortable for others, and forms these beautiful stories and character arcs that make readers think about our own character and traits. 

So this is technically book 4 (but really more like 5) in the series and while I don’t think you necessarily NEED to read the rest of the series to enjoy this book but I do think you’ll appreciate the story significantly more if you do. Blairwood University is full of amazing characters who haven’t always had easy lives and they’re all worth a read. There is a novella that accompanies THIS book which is critical to understand the depth of the relationship between Grace and Mason.
