Review: Enjoyable story - longer than I expected

This New Adult novella features characters who are sophomores in college and is almost as long as a category romance, so it's a full story. Rebecca broke up with Scott over a year ago although she never told him the real reason she did so. Since he didn't really know why she broke up with him, he kept expecting her to call him back, but she hasn't, and he's finally decided to try to get her back. Rebecca is annoyingly stubborn and Scott is/was a bit of a player, but they are likeable characters and I was rooting for them. I love it when the guy is doing the chasing instead of the girl! I found their actions to be quite realistic for 19/20 YO's, which is a change from many of the NA books I've read where the characters are young, but act much more mature than they should be. When people are college age, everything is a drama, guys tend to be a bit shallow, and girls haven't yet learned that guys aren't mind readers. Becca somehow expected Scott to know what she was thinking even though she hadn't told him exactly what the problem was and I just had to laugh and shake my head over that as it is so true to life (and some women don't learn that lesson until they are much older....). Anyway, I enjoyed the story and I definitely want to go back and read the first book in the series. Note that I downloaded this as "Those Nights in Montreal", but I guess there has been a name change for both this and the first book (which was previously called When In Paris).
