What happens when the past rears its ugly head and messes with who you thought you were? Will it break down all your walls and set your whole world on fire?
Meet Julia Delaney, a.k.a Jules, the lead singer of Love Sick Ponies, sex superstar, and a heart full of rocks. She loves them and leaves them, a bad girl through and through.
That is until she meets Brennan Curtis, a fan boy, a wannabe friend, and the only one who can possibly tear Jules’ walls down.
When the plastic snaps wide open, Jules finds herself in a vulnerable and awkward situation with Brennan and her band.
Jules’ journey of self-discovery started at a young age and her self- image, which is engrained in her brain, might just be there for life. Desperate to alter how people view her, she realizes that she might never be able to escape the past.
Follow the past ghosts into the now for the emotional roller coaster ride you all expect from Alisa Mullen.

**I received an ARC from the author for an honest review.**
This book is so very emotional and pretty powerful. I connected with this book even though I was a bit skeptical at the beginning. I love that this book spanned the life of Julia "Jules" Delaney from the time she was 12 years old until she got her HEA.
Jules' character is one that I was for sure that I was not going to connect with at all, but holy hell was I wrong. Alisa did such an amazing job writing her character. You love her and you hate her for the things that she has done in her life and the poor choices that she made. There was never a point through this where I wanted to stop reading. I needed to know what Jules' ending was. I needed to see if she made herself better and made a better life for herself. I needed to know that she learned to love herself and that she gave herself a chance at a happy life. I just needed to know.
So, Jules Delaney is a self proclaimed, well Ouija board proclaimed, SLUT. She lives her life one "one night stand" at a time. Her life really starts on this SLUT path at such a young age and I connected with her deeply. There was that turning point where you think she is going to have "THE" moment and change her life by an interaction that she has with Brennan. They have this connection that neither one wants to ignore, but there are circumstances that Jules does not see coming. She makes a choice and that choice ends up hurting her more that she thought that it would. Both emotionally and professionally.
There are just so many things that happen in this book and it is hard not to give any spoilers. I really can not go into one thing specifically without accidentally giving something away. I definitely recommend reading this book, but be warned it is not for everyone. It is not sweet and cutesy with sunshine, rainbows and flowers. It is emotional and angst ridden. There are some sweet and loving parts, but they are not given lightly and they are well earned.
I think that this is a MUST read, but read at your own risk and definitely go into this with OPEN mind.
