"Cursive" is the debut novel from Phoebe Lane and what a great start she is having! Ms. Lane has written a book where the characters are relatable, the romance takes a little while, sex is not the first thing that happens and friendships are to be cherished above everything else.The story is of Aislynn and Jace, two people who have had a tumultuous history and are seriously gun shy when it comes to dating and falling in love. When their best friends Ellie and Evan begin dating, it means they are more and more thrown together. The chemistry between them is palpable and there is no denying the effect they invoke by being around each other.As they continue to grow closer and closer as friends, we learn new things about each of them individually and together. Jace really is a caring and gentle man who knows what he wants but isn't going to take anyone down in the process.  He is very patient with Aislynn, allowing her to tell him things on her timetable, without pushing and being demanding. He is understanding when she appears to have moments on wandering off in thought.It is imperative that he be there for Aislynn when her mother contacts her for a visit. The relationship between Aislynn and her mom is strained at best when all her mom (Pam) seems to be able to do is put her down and treat her as if she is not interested in a job. She feels that Aislynn's desire to be a writer is just a hobby and not one to think of seriously.When more and more Jace and Aislynn grow closer, it becomes apparent to both of them that they will need to start being honest with each other and do the things you enjoy and want to do. Both Jace and Aislynn's stories will break your heart.Will the secrets they are keeping be enough to drive a wedge? Will Jace and Aislynn pull down their walls and confide in the other to get them through these trying times.I truly believe this book is a must read for the beach this summer.
