This book for me was all about not living life with regrets but taking chances.  It was also very much for me about not judging a book by its cover. And I don't me the cover of the book, I mean people.  This story has a surprising twist to it that I really didn't see coming.Summer feels betrayed by her mother after coming home on college break to find her mother has already moved out and moved... Her parents whom she always thought had the perfect relationship are now divorcing and her father seems to be all to ok with the situation for Summer's liking.  She pretty much takes the bitterness and holds the axe over her mothers head.  Determined to cut her out of her life for her failings as a wife and a mother.  Summer is pretty bitter about the whole situation, she leaves behind her dream of a city job and the perfect boyfriend to move back to her dads farm and take care of him and the job her mother has left vacant.Ford's a wanderer.  He's flitting through life living a day at a time and planting roots everywhere he goes.  But these aren't roots in his life these are literally his plants.  His job is an interesting one to say the very least.  He is cross pollinating plants trying to develop versatile herbs that double as food with healing properties... He's brilliant literally but honestly.  I really would have liked to have seen a lot more of this unique aspect of the book, I found the little we did get fascinating and something we haven't seen before.  When Ford meets Summer something in him changes.  But he is solid in his decision that he isn't going to put down real roots anywhere he is still determined that the life that his father chose is not what he wants for himself.Overall I really enjoyed the book.  There are some twists that I really didn't see coming and then there were just a few things that I think were overlooked and could have had a lot more detail.  The first half of the book was just a little slow but it was enough to keep me reading and it was worth it in the end.  I really did love Ford's character, he was quite unique in many ways, which is something hard to come by, he's not a tattoed rocker or a bad boy he's charming and sweet and likes to have fun.  Summer and Ford have good chemistry and though they fight it you can't help denying what's meant to be.  Love will always find a way to break down barriers and walls that we put up to protect ourselves.  In the end the question is, is Love enough?  With these two you'll have to read to find out.... I give this one 4 stars.  It was a sweet read...
