This is the first novel I have read by Noelle Adams and I must say that I really enjoyed it. The book is unique in the perspective and narrations. It goes from past to present and back again, and changes points of view between Leah and Kevin.The book opens on vacation in the French Riviera with a foursome (2 couples) enjoying graduation and career changes. The reader can sense that the couples are “consciously uncoupling”,to steal a term from Ms. Paltrow, and are going to return home with changes to friendships and romantic relationships.As Leah and Kevin are somewhat forced to play-up their relationship on a staged vacation, I just wanted to hurry up and see what was going to happen when the truth came out. This in turn caused me to stay up until the wee-hours of the morning to finish!The romance and sex were pretty awesome, which might have been another reason that I stayed up late!  The unrequited love and the double-entendres keep the chemistry alive and have you pulling for the couple.I think my one criticism was that the novel would have been better served with a little more description of locations, further background information of friends, and a deeper understanding of the relationship between Kevin and his father. Which would have made it longer, and less like a long novella.All in all, this is definitely a great read that will leave you with a happily ever after that I so enjoy. I will be reading more of Noelle Adams in the future.Lisa
