I thought this book was pretty good. The author has a good writing style, and I did like the back and forth POV, but some of it seemed abrupt. It would have been nice if there was a little more to each POV so it flowed a little better. I liked both characters and the set up of the story.I did have a few complaints though. First, it kind of annoys me when we hear about this major angst that is discussed and gone over but then at the end, the character has been through therapy and is doing better. I wish that author's would actually tackle some of the therapy so it's not just tacked on at the end. It's like a nod to the idea that love doesn't cure all, but they can't admit that or it'd mess up the story so they throw therapy in at the end. It seems like what Fran faced would take years and years of therapy, especially because she still had flashbacks.Second, I thought the book had a good vibe going without the graphic sex scenes or explicit language, not because I'm a prude, but just because they didn't seem to fit the characters or the story. It just didn't mesh. I've read plenty of romances with those scenes and language in them, it's hard not to anymore, but something about it just didn't flow. It was like the author was trying to hard or felt she had to just because that's a common thing now in romances.I'm curious about whether or not Caleb and Peyton get together now too.Overall, it was a good book and enjoyable.
