This is a story of second chance.  Best friends in Jr. high turns to love in college.  He from a very rich family she from a family where the father is a drunk and they are very poor.  His mother seems to have a big problem with the heroine's social status and she works to break the two of them up. When his dad dies, he is forced to step in and run the business and take care of a dependent mother. They lose touch with each other.Twenty years later, he a successful businessman with all the trappings runs into her, still poor and wallowing in it.  Seems to be resigned to her lot in life.  He still loves her and wants her no matter what.  She still has problems with it all.  Now at this point these two have to be close to mid-forties.  Is this their second chance?SPOILER...now if you don't want to know why I rated it 3 stars then don't read any further.  I had a real problem with the heroine.  She is close to 45 years old.  She has lived just above the poverty line her whole life.  Lives in a run down apartment, works for a n almost defunct used book store, future not bright.  Then he steps back into her life just about taking up where they left off in college.  He has apparently tried to find her through the years.  She on the other hand puts down everyone with money rather she knows them or not.  Skinny bitches dressing in designer clothes and driving fancy cars.  Throwing money around and spending foolishly.  Seems she has a bigger problem with them than they have with her but she is looking for problems where none exists.  He doesn't care how poor she is and wants to give her everything.  NOPE, still too big a difference in their lifestyle so she will weep and wale and go her own way.  Big blow up at a charity event and she runs away.  Over two weeks and she won't speak to him. Behavior of a teen, but a 40+ year old woman?  He should have walked.  I just did not like her.  he offers to give up everything just to make her happy.  Weird, but she makes no effort to adjust to his way of life...all take and no give.  Not my cup of tea.
