(Never) Again by Theresa Paolo is a sweet story of a college romance that is a New Adult novel.  Our heroine is Liz Wagner, whom we meet early attending her first day of college.  She and her roomie, Sadie, join up with Liz's boyfriend, Joe and their friends on the campus.  Much to Liz's shock, she sees Zach, the boy who broke her heart a year ago.Zach had moved away and never had any contact with Liz. It took her awhile to move on, and now she has found happiness with Joe.  But when she sees Zach, after all this time, Liz knows she still has feelings for him, but she is determined to hide it, since she wants nothing to do with him now.  But as the story continues, Liz finds out that it isn't as easy as that.  Zach is determined more than ever to win back Liz, even if she is distant with him.As I said above, this is a simple sweet romance. Zach, is a sweetheart, even though what he did was wrong, and we truly never understood why he left for a year and never contacted Liz.  But he was great with Liz, never pushing her to accept him, and yet made it difficult for her to ignore him.  Liz's current boyfriend, Joe, seemed nice at first, but in time he wanted to spend more time with his band, and Liz, did not see the obvious staring at her.  Perhaps this was because Joe was really just a protective shield on her heart, and getting hurt again.  But a tragedy would force Liz to see the truth.  Would Liz forgive Zach and be with the one person she truly loved.  Could she trust Zach to never leave her again?Besides Liz and Zach, I though Paolo created some nice characters, such as Sadie and Liz's brother Josh, who was awesome.  Paolo has a very nice writing style.  I thought (Never) Again was nice sweet simple read.
