Ellie Glass has had her whole life planned out for as long as she can remember. Following in her parents footsteps she's hoping to go to Columbia university to study law. Ellie never allows any distractions to derail her fom her planned course in life. When she briefly meets a handsome guy in a coffee shop, Ellie is bemused by the affect this man has had on her. When fate plays a hand and throws them together, they both find their mutual attraction hard to deny.I have read one other book by this author, but this is far superior IMO. The story itself is beautifully written with real feeling and passion. The author makes the reader truly believe in her characters. Ben is a classically trained musician, but he also plays in a band, at first look he doesn't seem like he would be Ellie's type. He's just come out of a long term relationship, which does cause Ellie some concern. I liked Ellie even though she was frustrating at times, constantly looking for reasons why she and Ben shouldn't be together. When her plans for her future start to unravel, Ellie finds it easy to blame the one good thing she has. With disastrous consequences. Her best friend Mark is the one who is her best support, even if at times she balks against his advice. Her other two friends Payton and Ainsley share a flat with her. I liked how the three girls characters were all different but just contrasted against one another perfectly.A really enjoyable read, descriptive and well paced. There are love scenes, but I thought they were very tastefully done. With characters that were easy to relate to, and a great story. This is a recommended read.
