This was a really great book. This is the story of Clementine Avery and Gavin Murphy. Clementine is closed off and makes sure that she has a very standoffish attitude to keep guys away. In high school, she was with the star Quarterback who she grew up with and then he ended up cheating on her with her best friend. She has a twin brother, Jax, who is going to Boston College while she's at Boston University. Jax is the star soccer player and loves the Papparazzi. While Clementine hides away from it. Their parents are very rich but they have cut her off. She's a published author trying to find a way to write another book but feels writers block. Also, she was stalked and assaulted by one of her freshman professors and now she's a senior. Gavin is an RA in the freshman dorms, he's a musician and in a band, and just a really great guy. Clementine accidentally signed up for a Romance Writing Class when she meant to sign up for a Young Adult Writing class - she's a creative writing major. Gavin is interested in Clementine but he knows with her that he has to take things very slowly. So he starts out as friends and then starts helping her to get inspiration and write her new novel.Gavin is just a wonderful character - he's so in love with Clementine and does so many wonderful and loving things for her. He's just such a deep and understanding individual that will do so many things for his girl. He is a definite keeper and a must have book boyfriend. Clementine is a really great character as well. She's faced many hardships in her past - she feels that no one really cares about her really. She's had people close to her betray her in heartbreaking ways.This book is definitely worth reading and I am looking for the next book in the series - Finding Dandelion which is Jax and Dani's book.
