Truly, Madly, Deeply, You is a quick and fun read. It's a story between two best friends - Liese and Frey, who are starting to acknowledge the real feelings between them. Liese is grieving over the loss of her husband and unborn child through a tragic accident that left her devastated. For 2 years, she's just going through the daily motions of her life like on an autopilot. The story started off with Liese holed up in her house, isolating herself, revisiting the events that happened same time 2 years ago. Frey, being the best friend that he is, came to her rescue and did everything he could to put her mind off of what happened and helped her in overcoming her grief and guilt. Liese has been blaming herself about what happened. Guilt that kept on haunting her preventing her from moving on with her life. Frey, who's been harboring romantic feelings towards her ever since they were 13 years old unknown to Liese. He's just scared of ruining the friendship they have and might push Li farther away from him.At first this story started quite slow for me but as I read further, I began to like how things are going. It's a short read but still enjoyable. I loved that the author wrote some back stories with what happened to Liese on that tragic day and how she and Frey became friends. It really helped me in understanding the characters and made me feel connected to them. I didn't like Li's constant denial of her true feelings towards Frey but I understood from where she was coming from. But still, if I have somebody like Frey around, it won't take me that long to realize that who I really wanted all along is just in front of me. I won't be pushing him away rather pull him towards me. Frey is a wonderful character. He's caring, lovable, loyal and patient. A true friend and someone who could be more than a true friend.All in all, I love this book. It was entertaining though the ending is abrupt and there are some things left unresolved, it was okay since there's another book in the series. I can't wait to get my hands on that one.
