Review: A very emotional story that I could read fast enough but was sorry when the story was over.

This is my first book by Chelsea Fine and I received a copy from NetGalley for review.I've had this book to read for a while now (about 3 months).  I think that I didn't read it right away because I felt that I'm probably a little (ok, maybe a lot) outside the target demographic for the book.  I'm in my mid-50's and the story is about two young people (early 20's) who share a lot of history with each other.  I'm sorry I didn't read this sooner - it was a great book that was hard to put down once I started it.I have to admit - it seemed at first to be a bit slow for me.  You know right away that there is some sort of problem between the two (Pixie and Levi) but what the problem is isn't revealed quickly, rather it's given to you bit by bit as the story evolves.  I think this is why I thought it was kind of slow at first.  However, this is also part of what kept me reading and not wanting to put the book down.  Eventually I understood that this was just great story-telling on the part of the author.The story is told in first person, with alternating points of view between Pixie and Levi.  There are 63 chapters - but don't let that scare you off.  Because of the way the story is told (Pixie and Levi alternating chapters) some of them are only a paragraph or two long.  I'm not particularly fond of first person books but this one didn't bother me in the least, in fact, I think it was the best way to tell this story.I felt that there was a great connection between all of the characters; especially between Levi and Pixie and the author did a good job of making me feel their emotions.There is no cliffhanger for this book (thank you very much) but there are several great secondary characters that author has books scheduled for, according to her website (chelseafinebooks.com).This is a story that will stay with me for a while and those are usually the best kind.  I would definitely recommend this book and look forward to reading the others in this series.
