This book was good, but I thought I was going to enjoy it a lot more than I ended up. I think I enjoyed it most when Mike and Gina were younger. You could tell how much they cared about each other. Even though Mike was in the dark about the PTSD Gina was going through, he was still so kind and understanding. I find reunions to be entertaining when people haven't seen each other for many years, as well. After the reunion, it kind of just fell into a slump for me. The upset that occurred was too depressing and too much of the story focused on it. It didn't hold my attention well, so my mind wandered off. If there is some type of distraction that causes the development of a relationship to be put on hold like that, I prefer something more like an ex-lover causing drama. I was looking forward to the steamy scenes, considering the book cover, but was sadly disappointed. They were too quick for me. I need more detail. At the end, the yearbook entries were entertaining, at first, but eventually became too long and I was bored with them. I stopped midway through the entries, so technically, this book would be considered a DNF for me, but I did finish the actual story.
