I have to say I did like this story. The book is a debut novel for new author Beth Ashworth. The plot was really fantastic, and the character dynamics with all of the supporting players was really good. I always love the best friends in the book.I felt a connection and love between Cullum and Charlotte aka Charlie. You could tell how strong the love is. The story pretty much takes you right into the relationship. You see how they meet and then it fast-forwards to 13 months later. I could tell there was going to be something big that was going to happen and OH BOY is there. That was the tough part for me in the book, it seemed like the big reveal took way to long to get to. I found myself skimming through some of it just to get there.I started to enjoy it more when the explosion finally happened. I would have liked to see Cullen and Charlie interact more. There are some great sex scenes when they are together, but I wanted more depth to their relationship.  Charlie seems to have so many more scenes with others in the book than she has with Cullum. The way the plot of the story is, I understand why the author had to write it that way. That being said, it pulled me away from being as invested in the characters as I would have liked to be.What I am so impressed with is how the author gave an entirely different concept to the book. It was not your standard timeline of events and you do not see that very often. I think it was very imaginative and I saw great potential. Overall I enjoyed it, it just did not have that wow factor for me.
