I am a fairly new fan of Harper's but I must say that since I started reading her work I haven't looked back.  Harper has such a great way of bringing out a character's inner monologue without it being too much "tell" and not enough "show".  The way Eli responds to Amy throughout this story is both heart and gut wrenching because of its absolute truth.  The way the fear, regret, and self-consciousness all flow through Eli's mind so effortlessly should at once be recognizable to anyone who has ever been a teenager with a crush.  All the hurt and anguish mixed with the love and lust is totally reminiscent to the teenage years of which I, yes, still remember.I also love that this story took an unlikely couple and truly made it feel believable.  The history of two best friends of whom neither can fully understand or communicate the feelings they're having beyond their friendship, which ultimately affects both of their lives in different ways.  I hope everyone in the history of ever gets an HEA like this one, and that if it does have to take as long to find it as it did Eli and Amy, it's as fulfilling and scrumptious as Harper Bliss can write it :)Thank you Harper for providing a copy of this eARC in exchange for my honest review.
