Charlie and Ramona are poles apart. He's an orthopaedic resident at a busy New York hospital. She's a waitress, busker and daughter of am impoverished land owner. He's building a career and busy beyond belief. She's trying desperately to make money to send home to her parents in Spain. He is planning a life in New York. She is landing to go home to her parents and help them saved their home. Yet despite these differences and difficulties they can't help but fall in love. I did struggle to connect with this book at times. I think the brevity of the book didn't allow enough space for the characters to be developed to a point where I could relate to them as people. It seemed a bit two dimensional to me at times. Nonetheless, this is a good story and would make an excellent follow up to its sister book, The Sweetest Thing.
