This is a 5++ book.  I wish it were in PB because I would snatch it up, but either way, it is a re-read, keeper shelf read!  Ben & Mia are adorable and hot and funny and all the things that I love about romantic leads.  Their story is about redemption & forgiveness, but in sort of a light way.  I laughed out loud so many times with this story, and I also had some emotional teary moments.Mia goes back to her hometown to hang out w/ her best friend, and prays that she won't run into said best friend's older brother.  The brother who tormented her childhood to the point that it really sort of traumatized her on more than one occasion.  When Ben realizes just how much his stupid actions hurt Mia when they were younger, he does EVERYTHING in his power to make up for it.  His heart breaks for the way he hurt her, and watching his journey to earn Mia's trust... Seriously swoon-worthy!  : )There is a lot going on in this story, but it went fast because I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN!  And while it could be classified as a chase book (H or h pursuing, other party resisting) I think the chase portion was handled really smoothly.  There was never a point in the story where I felt like things were going to slowly or not progressing.  And even through the pursuit, the H/h are together, there's no extraneous breakup or misunderstanding or whatnot.  The drama that occurs is perfectly placed.I really loved this story!  :D
