Tessa is a struggling artist. In love with art, her life and her long time boyfriend Mark. Or so she thinks. In comes Ryan. A man she loved from afar for many years. A man she declared her love to but according to her knowledge it was never returned. Little does she know that Ryan has been looking for her for the last 5 years. Hoping that she what she wrote in her letter was still true. That she would love him forever.I was really looking forward to this one, as it is so close home. Thus my disappointment when I wasn't absolutely in love with it. I had some issues with the dialogue. It felt quite stilted at times and very forced at other. Looking past that though it had a very lovely story line and the characters were really well written.Tessa struggles majorly with a lot of life decisions. Should she stick with what she know is safe and try and make the long distance thing with Mark work, or should she follow her heart and go for Ryan. Throw into the mix the need to have a family. Tessa was a really strong character. Making decisions that would not only benefit her, but that of a little baby that has no one else.Ryan on the other hand, I didn't quite get. He has known where Tessa has been for months, and mooned over her. Surely he could have made a move earlier. But after the initial shock of meeting each other again, and getting over hurdles he turned into a strong character.I haven't read a local book in some time, and even though there were a few disappointments it was a really good, quick read.book provided by the publisher for the purpose of an honest reviewreviewed by Angelique
