Let me just say straight up that it was a nice refreshing change to read about characters in my age group.The story began with a party and a proposal, a very public proposal, not something that Andie wanted at all. Her boyfriend is rich and successful, giving Andie anything he wants. Notice I said anything that 'he' wants. It is at that moment Andie starts questioning just how much her boyfriend really knows her and if her answer should be the one he is expecting. She is given 24 hours to make up her mind and on impulse, she goes on a road trip.Meet Jesse, the one person who Andie has ever felt really connected to, but whom Andie hasn't seen since that day all those years ago. Who would have thought that they would meet again, but coincidences and serendipity happen. In a place they least expect it, they are once again thrown together and circumstances are throwing fate right in front of them, begging it not to be ignored.I really liked this novella and I am definitely interested to read more from this author. It was well written and I nearly read it in one sitting except for life interrupting. The characters were realistic and as I said at the start I really enjoyed reading about characters in my age group. I was caught up in Andie's head and could feel the turmoil she was going through and when we met Jesse, I felt the electricity going between the two. The couple of twists were well written and I felt they really fitted in well with the theme and feel of the story.I would have loved it to have been a longer book so I could really immerse myself in the whole atmosphere of the characters world and their feelings. Overall a great quick, enjoyable read.
