What a great book.Mary Ann Rivers has crafted a short but sweet tale of two people (Carrie & Brian), who are both looking ultimately for the same thing, but the circumstances of life intervene as is often the case. I loved the whole premise of meeting up just for an hour once a week for kissing, it seems to me no-one spends enough time just kissing nowadays, and it made me want to go out and spend an hour kissing someone myself;-)The  build-up of the relationship between Carrie & Brian, and learning of the reasoning behind Brian's reluctance to step any further than that one hour was heartbreaking, and I loved that Carrie "put herself out there" to let Brian know just how much she wanted to be with him, whatever the circumstances. It bought a tear to my eyes reading how he struggled with his responsibilities and the pressures of dealing with them, I wholly enjoyed it, as I said it's a short read, but nothing feels rushed or missed in it's telling.A great first book, I will be looking out for more from Mary Ann Rivers.ARC provided by Netgalley, and I am happy to provide the above honest review as thanks.
