Promises We Meant to Keep by Monica Murphy (Sylvie and Spencer)

ABOUT THE BOOK 

Spencer Donato.

My brother’s best friend.

My dirty little secret.

We fell for each other at Lancaster Prep. Sneaking around. Not wanting anyone to find out. He was my first love, my protector, my knight in shining armor. We were made for each other, and I truly believed he was my forever.

But then I did the unthinkable, and betrayed him in the worst possible way. I thought I lost him for good…

Until I saw him at my brother’s wedding. Now he’s older. Crueler. Unbearably handsome. We’re drawn to each other still, but will Spencer be there for me when I need him the most? Or did I ruin us forever?

I received a complimentary early release e-book prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.

 This was a story that I was really excited to read but OMG it was a really tough book to read. There were times my heart hurt for Sylvie and Spencer and at times it was hard to read this romance. 

Sylvie is a character that I have met in other books and at times she was a mean girl and a bully but at other times she was more sympathetic. As the author has written other books for her family, we have seen that she had a hard life, and she made some really tough decisions. In this story the author delves into her mind, and we see the decisions she made and why she made them.

What I really liked about this book was that we don't just get the bad and the why but we also get to watch Sylvie become this really strong character who had a messed up childhood and mother and even marriage but who found her own strength within herself and came out the other side as a strong woman who can be proud of herself and her accomplishments.

One aspect of Spencer that I really liked was that while he could hate Sylvie he also could love her as well. He realized that he was not perfect either and that who are families are shapes us but it also allows for forgiveness and moving on and pushing forward. I loved that he was always there for Sylvie no matter what.
