     Honestly, I liked this book. The pace is a bit slow, and the book is told in chapters. Some of the chapter are in present "Now" and some are in the past "Five Years Ago", I got so confused some times, that I had to go back and reread a few pages, it was frustrating! But I lived through...

     The storyline is your typical happy-ending romance, with some unexpected twists added here and there. It is an enjoyable ride that will teach you many lessons about true love and surviving hard times. I enjoyed it, but didn't love it! You idea might be different, but if you want a romantic, quick read, then this is the one!
