Ms. Finn OFFICIALLY has an auto buy fan in me!Once again, I was so into this story...literally sucked into sir world, and in love instantly with Ms. Finn's writing. Flowing pages, lovable characters, hooked to the max. Each page sucked me deeper and deeper and by the end I was so in love!My lord I love Adeline. Some people might consider her at first glance to be completely weak, or back boneless...you know, the dreaded door mat heroines. Hell, even I thought it to begin with. But, the more I pondered over this beautiful girl, I realized she is literally little fish big pond fighting upstream. She is shy, ill give her that. What comes across as doormatish (IMO) is actually just how deeply she feels. Her depth of emotion causes more of a flight rather than fight mode to crush her. I get it. We have all been there, when you would rather avoid the humility of embarrassment and shut up instead of "fighting". I respect Adeline much more for knowing which battles to pick.There were times I wanted to shake both of them for not communicating. The dreaded "I don't know how he feels" stuff, but it added a certain quality to the story watching them battle within, both equally afraid to express their feelings.Jordan I didn't initially hate, as I've notice the trend in most reviews was to loath him to the extreme for his "this will only be once or you can leave" attitude. Uh, hello...can we say honesty. I will agree, to an extent, that he wasn't the sweetest talker (mild understatement) when they first met...but he grows on you, oh boy does he. By 40ish% I was ready to fall at his feet and profess my undying love for him. Lol. Once we learn more about Jordan, his past mainly, it all starts to make sense and he no longer becomes the guy you can hate. He proves his love her Adeline, and then some. I couldn't keep the stupid happy grin off my face! Haha!Once again, the chemistry was off the charts perfect, I almost felt the need for a cold shower! I. Loved. This. Book!Between the two of them, I would say I connected more with Adeline than Jordan. Then again, that wouldn't be very fair to say because I connected with him as well. Adeline had that sweet girl, shy and scared of the confident sea of the real world she jumped into. Jordan, for all his armor and bravado is basically still that little boy desperately in the need of love. Together, ah...together they are just pure magic. I loved watching them come together, grow as individuals and as a couple. Just perfect.This is again one of those reviews I'm convinced is just my rambles, I have such a hard time putting books I love into reviews. I just want to scream "I LOVED IT...READ IT, NOW!"
