I received this book in exchange for an honest review and I am so thankful I did. I had not read anything by Ms. Bay before. But I so loved this book!!! There are many characters in here that you will fall in love with. But Joel and Ava stole my heart, and there were many times I wanted to shake her by the shoulders and talk some sense into her. There is a lot of angst that occurs in this book and I couldn't wait to see how this love story played out."You'll heal and you'll find another love. I promise." He was trying to comfort me but it was me that felt sorry for him. He'd never felt what I felt for Joel, or he wouldn't say that."I don't think so. Men compartmentalize these things in a way I don't think women can. Men can say, 'We've split up, life moves on, I'll find someone else,' and then never think about that person again. Women, I think, bruise more deeply, love longer."He finished his mouthful of food. "You think Daisy will take me back?""I think that if you feel the thunderbolt, you will love her whether or not she takes you back."I loved the jump between past and present, but was so engrossed by their story that sometimes, I'd finish a present section and groaned when I had to wait to find out what was going to happen because I needed to go back to the past. But it read quite smoothly and I liked this transitioning very much.The friends in this group are both charming and aggrevating at times, but they are true friends and you can feel the love they have for each other.And yes, towards the end of the book, I was an emotional mess! I would definitely recommend this book! I am looking forward to reading more books from Ms. Bay!
