Summary

"Where'd you grow up?" "I can show you," Matthew shrugged, "But leave your questions at the door." &&& Matthew Adler is a mystery to some people, others think they've got him figured out. Especially since the drama that he calls his childhood. At 22, he's fighting to get away from his older self but it doesn't help when he's paired with a former classmate to volunteer at a local orphanage. As things progress, he realises not everyone will judge him on his past mistakes...but his father's. Roseline Alvarez, more commonly called Doe, has always been known as determined and religious by her friends and anyone whom she called family. What they didn't notice, was that she had found herself having no choice. Three years after senior year, and struggling to make her absent mother proud, she gets paired to work with someone whom she has no interest in getting to know. All she knows Matthew as is a 'Doubting Thomas' who couldn't stay put during his teenage years. But that's not all, and there's a reason for everything. As time goes by, she realizes that he's not who she thought he was, at first, and they have a lot more to do with each other than they know.

Doe’s POV

By the time Doe was eleven years old, she found herself taking care of an Alzheimer’s-struck, elderly man.

She had been living most of the time with her closest friend Ashley, and her family after her young mother decided she couldn’t take care of her anymore.

She also worked part-time with a group of problematic individuals. It was a household whose income & family unit was slowly collapsing. That was the home she was paid to visit every day. Doe helped out until this home wasn’t better off itself. The eldest, a son, was never at home, the daughter found her way into the stripping industry and the mother was simply a traitor to her kin. It hadn’t always been that way, but when it became that, it stayed.

Nevertheless, Doe worked her way through schools until she was on her own. Meanwhile, the elder of that house, who she had spent most of her childhood caring, died three years ago.

May he rest in peace.

Feliz: I am learning a lot about hockey because of the almost commentator-like transcript that is part of the storytelling style of the book. I like it. Coming from a country where there is no hockey culture, I am beginning to understand why it has so many fans.

Ashley: I enjoyed the story. It was a short one so the fast pace fit. I think something should be put in to show a time jump between paragraphs like a "****" just to make it easier to follow when we skip to the next day week or month. Over all a good read.
