I gave this book 4.5stars and love finding a well written book like this by an indie author.  It was witty, funny, romantic, sometimes angsty, hot in parts and just overall kept my attention.  The story line was interesting as this couple was married at one point and were very much in love yet they divorced.  It wasn't a typical meet a new guy/girl and fall in love in fact they're past the college years and established in careers, etc.  The book keeps your interest because "something" or a few "something's" occurred in the past and you'll need to read to find out what happened to break them up and then the big question is will they get back together in the present.(Of course I was rooting for them!)The road for the present time is littered with very vocal family and friends that really added to the story.  There was drama, jealousy and for those that worry about "cheating", they did not cheat while together but the author wrote some stuff that had me anxious to turn the pages...  I recall laughing towards the beginning of the book during one scene(after the first bar visit) and thought I was going to wake up the house-I can't remember the last time I laughed out loud as much as I did while reading a book.I don't know much about the author or another book but while it didn't end with a cliffhanger, it did just sort of end.  This actually fit at the part of the story that was being told yet I could see a follow up book come out about them or just end there.  That leads me to another thing I liked about the story and that's the author kept it pretty real and while the funny parts were a little exaggerated(but not too much), it was nice to see this couple have real issues that weren't just going to get swept away with a kiss and some nice words.  Riley and Christina have alternating points of view that also go between the past and present at times.  All the writing flowed well during these switches and I think the secondary characters that were constant also helped these transitions.  I'm definitely keeping my eye out for the next book and look forward to reading more by this author.
