This was the intro into Melanie taking her life in hand, making some changes and quitting her job as the secretary to her long term crush and moving on. I liked Melanie well enough from the glimpses of her and it was fun seeing her do the things she's wanted to like getting back into art and getting a tattoo. The relationship between Rafe and Melanie is one I usually enjoy. They've got a little history since they've known and worked together for years. So I was all good there.But other than that I felt very lost in this opening to the book. There was too much backstory just missing.I guess we were expected to have read the other book but it was rough and left me incredibly confused.Is Rafe working at his family business or touring with his band? Was he dating her best friend and his brother's fiance? Or were both brothers with the fiance together? Why did she quit her job "because seeing Rafe and Jessica together" was hard if he'd been on sabbatical the past year with his band. And if he wasn't there during that time how was she his secretary since he'd obviously not need one if he wasn't working for the company. If he's not with Jessica and she's not working for his company and he's acting interested why is he "off limits" to her. Blerg. It was just a jumble of way too many things with way too little explanation.
