I'm not really sure what I expected when I got this book, but how the story actually developed surprised me a bit. I thought it was going to be a light hearted love story, but it turned out that the story went deeper than that. It is a love story, but Maddie's past plays a bit part in how the story develops.I loved that Maddie had an alter ego. Her writing allowed her to open a part of herself that I think she suppressed. The real Maddie was vulnerable and a bit insecure at times. The writer was less inhibited. I liked the combination of both personalities. I think Scott helped her open up a bit more too. Maddie had a major trauma as a teenager and she needed someone like Scott to help her heal. The relationship they developed was mature and loving. I liked that they took time to get to know each other before jumping into the physical connection that they clearly had.Overall, I really enjoyed the story. I think this a good contemporary romance for the summer. If you're looking for a romance that has a bit of a deeper story, this is a great pick for you.
