I enjoyed this story, but I feel like there could have been more to it. There was a lot of real emotions that you don't always see. There wasn't insta-love, but a build up over time. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to connect completely with the characters or I probably would have enjoyed it more.Zach is a rock star and is primarily behind the scenes. He changed a lot from his college days, but there is still part of him that is the same. Violet changed after college as well, but it was almost a fake change so she was able to get back down to her roots easily. It's always nice seeing characters grow as time passes-that's what happens in real life after all. I never really clicked with this couple though. I'm not sure why-I just didn't really feel for them like I have other characters.The best part is how real everything seemed. Two people fall in love in college but are too scared to really own up. When one of them finally does, things don't exactly work out. We enter the story years after this when they happen to meet each other again. This is definitely something I can see happen in real life-you hear stories like this all time! It was nice seeing them come to terms with their life and their feelings and their differences.Overall I did enjoy this and will definitely read more from this author. I just wish I connected with the characters better than I did. Still, this is a good romance to lighten things up a bit or if you need a realistic dose of fiction.
