I really enjoyed this story, and I believe it is, for me, a first by this author. Nat and Jeremy are both likable characters working through their own issues. These issues led to the breakdown of their original romance. They’re still creating chaos as they strive to find balance in their new tentative friendship/work relationship.

Each character, main and supporting, are well-written. Readers will get a clear picture of each one. Even the less-likable ones, you’ll understand the reasons why they do what they do.

Nat and Jeremy are both carrying enough junk from their past, together and otherwise, to provide plenty of drama and hurdles to overcome on their own. And the author does a good job mixing in more light-hearted and fun moments to balance out the heavier issues.

However, Nat and Jeremy aren’t the only ones with issues. A side plot to the story, which I won’t get into for fear of spoilers, deals with church, church leadership, and sin. The author does a great job showing how sin can and does have a ripple affect on the people around us. However, I think the topic deserves more depth than what was presented. As readers, we get the problem, but not a good solution. Maybe the author intends a sequel, but if that’s the case, I feel she’s given almost too much in this one, instead of hinting around at the problem.

Overall, though, I did enjoy this story. I connected with the characters and wanted to know how their story turned out. Realistically presented, I felt for the characters as they experienced their highs and lows throughout the story.
