Promises Hurt (Promises #1) by Elle Brooks


I wasn't planning on falling for Ethan Jamison, hell I wasn't planning on our paths ever crossing. He’s the most popular guy at school and a complete player. Me; I’m the perpetual good girl, trying to carry out one last request. But when you make a promise, how far do you go to see it through?

It’s a running joke that I’m a terrible liar, if only people knew the truth. My whole life has been spent making excuses and deflecting questions. I was pretty good at it until Blair Thomas entered my world. She saw through the mask that everyone is so willing to accept. She makes me want to tell her all my secrets, but can she promise to keep them?

First let me start off by saying you’re going to need to go ahead and grab a box of tissues or two before you start this book. The story begins with a flashback of Blair dealing with one of the most difficult times of her life. Then flips to a few years later when she meets Ethan, the schools notorious, rock star/bad boy who has a scary secret. Ethan is just trying to hang on until graduation so that he can escape his person hell at home. Blair is trying to complete a bucket list left for her by her best friend. I don’t want to give to much away because this is definitely one you’re going to want to read for yourself. It pulls you in from the very first page, I couldn’t put it down. I lost myself in the characters, the book never lagged, and I was definitely never bored. Such a great blend of romance, difficult, yet relatable, situations, and adventure. Highly recommended, and I cannot wait for the next one!
