Overall it was an interesting story.  I love how these two individuals talk on the suicide hotline and have no idea that they are the two people who have been attracted to one another.However, I had a hard time staying connecting to these characters.  I initially connected, but then lost the connection.I am not sure where it happened.  This story is told in first person dual POVs by Ella and Quinn.  I think the switch in POVs happened too quickly.  By the time I was used to one POV, there was a switch.  Also, I think the switch in POVs hurt the suspense of the story. It would have been better just to leave the story in one person’s POV. If the author wanted to switch, maybe do a chapter or two from Quinn’s POV.I really liked Quinn’s character.  He is just a nice and good person.  It killed me that he carried a lot of guilt from an accident that happened earlier.  Quinn meets Ella when he calls the suicide helpline and she is the person who answers.I am not sure how I felt about Ella’s character.  I am not sure what it was about her that made me not feel that she was the best choice for Quinn.  Ella was a nice person, but the way she hung out at the fraternity.  It seemed like she was one of those girls that did not get the “hint” that she was not wanted. She had a boyfriend who later she found out cheated on her, but I felt even when she was given information about this ex-boyfriend, she still wanted to “stick around.”  I like the heroines to be smarter.  To have a clue.Even though you know how the story is going to come together, I still wanted to finish it. It was not a bad read; I just did not feel a strong connection between the characters.A copy was provided by PENGUIN GROUP Berkley, NAL / Signet Romance, DAW via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
