I was given this book by the author for a fair review.Kasey lives next door to Joseph. they spend the night together before he leaves for Boot Camp. after letters get lost, and lies are told, they lose touch, and move on. Til one day, Joseph is visiting friends, and comes across Kasey, and a shock to his very soul! Can time heal whats happened??I will be honest and say, the blur didn't do much for me, so I went into this not expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised! A genuine mix up, and crossed wires, as well as lies mean Joseph (and I LOVE that he was not shortened to Joe!) and Kasey lose touch, but for each of them, there really has never been anyone else. Even if Joseph is engaged to another. But after crossing paths again, there can be only one conclusion, truly! these two were meant to be together, they really are!the story moves at a fair pace, is well told, (but in first person, present tense, so not my thing) the characters are lovable, and believable, even if Kasey's parents are the meanest on the planet! the love scenes are sweet and tender, not explicit, and almost til the end I was going to rate this as young adult 15+, because it really is a lovely tale. But then, right near the end, and I only noticed it twice, there was swearing, I don't mind swearing, not at all, I noticed it, because it seemed out of place in this book, to me, so I upgraded it to young adult 16+.a genuinely lovely tale, a true romance about second chances.
