Crave was so much more than I was expected from the synopsis.  Jake and Lilly both have issues from their past to work through and have a hard time not only trusting each other, but trusting in themselves and the emotions they feel.  Their relationship seemed to be something of a "push-pull" affair - they both alternated between pulling each other in and pushing each other away.  I think this added to the personality of each character.  Both Lilly and Jake were very well-developed.  I particularly enjoyed  Lilly's character and her outlook on life, and she was very easy to relate to - I could see myself saying "damn hair dryer" since I have experienced mornings just like Lilly has.  While Jake was depicted as being a playboy, there was enough back story provided to see it was a protective mechanism so he wouldn't get hurt again.The story was primarily told from the perspective of both Jake and Lilly) and in the first person.  Ms. Delaney did an amazing job with the transitions between the two characters and using the first person perspective - not once was I confused as to who was telling the story, and I feel that it added more to the story to see the different ways Jake and Lilly looked at things, as well as be privy to the internal thoughts each of them have.I will definitely be reading more of Ms. Delaney's books.  It should be noted this book was received as a gift in exchange for an honest review.
