I Never Planned on You by Stefanie Jenkins

Dani had her entire life planned out by the time she was thirteen. She was going to marry the boy who stole her heart – her brother’s best friend – have a great life, and live happily ever after. Then tragedy struck and Dani had to bury those childhood dreams in a pine box along with the love of her young life. 

The memory of what she lost haunted her until she disappeared into the night, leaving behind everyone, and everything she’d ever known. 

Years later, she returns home to find everything has changed. When she meets Kyler, there is something about him that gets past the walls around her heart. Will she let fear control her, or will she let go of the past and learn to love again?

5 Heart Review by Lorena

I haven't read such an emotional book in such a long time, and I mean an emotional book that will put me through the wringer. I had to have a full box of tissues next to me and it seriously had my heart in turmoil.

To have to read a book this emotionally heartbreaking really had me wishing I found this author sooner. I may like my books normally dark and depraved but I sometimes do crave these books that make me emotionally devastated in a sweet and nice way, nonetheless it's sad and heartbreaking. 

I cannot express how much this book affected me because of what Dani went through. Whenever someone loses a loved one, no matter the circumstances, or in which way, it's always devastating, whether it's a break-up or a death it doesn't matter. It hurts either way. And it is always hard to move on especially if you loved that person unconditionally.

I did fall in love with Kyler and how much he cared for Dani and how he went over and beyond for her. He certainly deserved all the stars for how good he was to her. 

This book has won my heart in all the ways you can possibly think of <3
