Trish Milburn has a good idea (though not exactly original) and writes it in a way that grabs readers' attentions. Although there was a bit too much of unsaid miscommunication between Sydney and Jake, the back stories of these two played in well to their hesitance toward each other. There were no superfluous scenes that seemed out of place and I really enjoyed this book.The main problem, however, is that the first 85% of the book seemed to be leading to something great. The pacing felt right - it wasn't overly exuberant nor did the writing ever get too descriptive to consider the book slow. But the ending seems short and crammed, as though the author had a word limit and was too close by the time the climax was ready to be written.Despite the rushed ending, this was an enjoyable read with realistic characters and a mini-mystery to figure out.
