Rating: 3.5 StarsThis was a cute, enjoyable read about two former best friends in high school, who due to miscommunication, haven't spoken or seen each other for the past nine years. I enjoy a good second chance romance, and this one certainly had all the elements needed for an entertaining read. Ethan and Ashley were fun to read about, though their poor communication skills haven't improved much since high school, making them a bit frustrating at times. But being that this is a novella, even that didn't last long. Ethan in particular had hang-ups from being bullied as a child, and it was interesting to see how he dealt with feelings he hadn't been able to let go of yet. The ease and renewed friendship between Ashley and Ethan was apparent, and the author didn't skimp on the sexual chemistry. These two fell more than easily into each other's arms without any discomfort or awkwardness. Maybe a bit too easily? But those nine years seemed like nothing, until communication was once again on the line. The ending was predictable but still very sweet. And the epilogue was perfect.
