Ooh this book gave me chills! It's a coming of age, second chance romance that's beautifully written. Though lots of second chance books dip into the past throughout the book, slowly revealing the first romance while the second unfolds, this book gives us both in full. We see the entire beautiful love story from the past and then the present. There's lots of chest-clutching angst, but it's all appropriate to the story - no frustrating miscommunication - it's all a logical, heartbreaking, bittersweet, part of their love story. The only thing that slightly bothered me was poor Ben. The chemistry between Tori and Leah is so strong though, and so rewarding. Add to that TJ's beautiful prose and flawless metaphors, and you've got a perfect romance. Highly recommend.

Short summary: When Tori returns home with fiancé in tow, the last person she expects to see is Leah, and the flood of memories and emotions that comes with that reintroduction. The two couldn’t be more different, yet they are drawn to each other. Can it be enough?
