This One's For You is a poignant new adult romance that follows Brennan Daniels' journey of coming to terms with the death of her best friend, learning to open her heart, and the acceptance to move forward with her life.

Author Brandy Jellum weaves a beautifully written tale that will tug at the heartstrings and stir the soul. After losing her best friend Reagan in a tragic accident during senior year in high school and needing a fresh start, Brennan leaves her hometown for an out-of-state college. She is keeping the promise that she made to Reagan: no boys, no dating, no falling in love while in college ... that is until she meets Owen Scott, who lives across the hall. There is definite chemistry and sparks fly between Brennan and Owen, but both have personal issues that keep getting in the way. Can Reagan let down the wall around her heart, can Owen let go of his playboy ways, can they both let go of their painful pasts and secrets, open up their hearts, and let love in the door?

This One's For You has a wonderful mixture of emotions and romance that easily draws the reader into Brennan and Owen's story. You can't help but follow their emotional journey as college life and the promise of a budding romance offers a new start for them if they allow it. There is enough angst, drama, tension, and sweet romance that will keep the reader engaged and turning the pages.

This One's For You is a touching story about learning to cope with loss and painful pasts, letting go, opening oneself to new found love, and moving forward in life.
