Having read and loved King Size Beds and Happy Trails that Theresa co-wrote with one of my favourite authors Cassie Mae I thought I would give this a read and I must say that I really enjoyed it.As mentioned in the blurb Liz is enjoying her life as a college freshman with her boyfriend Joe but when she goes to walk into English class and hears her ex-boyfriend Zach’s voice she freaks out and dives into the girls bathroom to hide. What is he doing back? And after their painful break-up does he seriously expect to be friends with her?Due to a seriously heartbreaking break-up with Zach when he had left town over a year ago, she is conflicted over her feelings for both Zach and Joe. It doesn’t help that Joe behaves like an absolute moron at time and is being selfish pushing her to do things that she really doesn’t want to do, but the way she behaves about her feelings towards Zach got a bit annoying at times. She claims that she is over him and that she is happy with Joe (even planning on losing her virginity with the moron) and then she starts getting jealous when other girls flirt with Zach. Seriously make up your mind. You are either platonic friends with him or you want to take it further and rekindle the relationship. Making it more awkward is the bromance between Zach and Liz’s brother Josh.I did like her relationship with Josh. I loved that they were so close that they would go visit each other at their respective colleges on a regular basis. Josh is a bit of a ladies man and a playboy but is also good hearted.Zach seems to be a real sweetie, coming back to town to care for his grandmother who is suffering from Alzheimer’s. He obviously still has feelings for Liz but is honourable and doesn’t act on them as she is in a relationship with Joe. But when there is a tragedy he steps up and is there for her.Overall a great, light and easy read that I would recommend. Can’t wait to read Josh’s story in (Once) Again
