Review: Cute and Quick, but slightly disappointing

This was a cute, quick read that was sort of a second chance romance...well for one half of the couple anyway. I really liked Mitch from the get go. He wasn't afraid to say what he wanted or to call Cassidy out for standing him up back in high school. Too bad she didn't really think he was asking her out back then and she never really said she was going to show up. I wasn't so sure about Cassidy. I didn't find her as relatable as Mitch and I was often confused by her actions.I was kind of torn by this book because everything happened so quickly. It wasn't quite insta-love and Mitch had been interested in Cassidy back when they were in high school, but the development of feelings between them did seem really fast. On top of that, there was a weird situation with Cassidy's stepfather that bugged me. I mean, I know a lot of adults who keep financial things from their kids, but this was a little above and beyond that. Also, because there always has to be some kind of drama or bump in the road for the romance aspect of the story, there was a misunderstanding that seemed so far out of Mitch's character that I was really confused by the scene. The entire book he talks about people believing the gossip about Cassidy and how they shouldn't. He defends her left and right and then all of a sudden he's believing something stupid that some old gossip monger told him?Overall, this was a decent book. I would have liked a little more development of characters and a little more time between meeting and the declaration of love, but what can you do.Arc provided by the publisher via Netgalley
