Lora's Review
3 1/2 out of 5 stars
This is the story of Lauren and Connor who were best friends growing up and then had a very brief relationship before he left for college. Lauren moved on, married (and divorced) someone else and has a little boy. Connor never really moved on and his grandmother’s death is the perfect chance for him to reconnect with his one true love.
The writing felt a little disjointed at times early in the story. It is told from 3rd person point of view and it felt like it was jumping around a great deal and hard to follow sometimes. There was also a little over explaining, but the characters were well developed and the story definitely came to life.
Connor and Lauren were good characters though Lauren was not my ideal heroine because she seemed to be playing games with poor Connor. She was in and out and then back in, but he never really had a good grasp on her emotionally and where they stood as a couple. Connor was just trying to do the right thing and love Lauren and her son.
The story flowed pretty well, but there were a few places where it lagged -- and then a jump or two, but overall I enjoyed reading all about Connor and Lauren’s reconnection and love.
