This was a nice story about nice people who managed to rekindle their romance in 5 minutes. The dialogue was stilted, the character development lacking and the scene exposition was clumsy. It felt like an outline, actually. There were places were what was happening seemed like a shopping list.Jenna went to her mother's.Jenna and her mother baked.Jenna and her mother discussed their lives.Jenna and her mother got along.It was just... awkward. The characters were likable, so I would have liked to see them fleshed out more. The most descriptive and best scenes were the final, climactic scenes.I think if this were expanded into a longer book, with more dialogue rather than a litany of what Jenna was doing or feeling, it would be much better. And if Nathaniel were less of a skank.
