Lucy and Reese, the antagonism is strong in this love/hate road trip. But when circumstances and the truth finally comes out you will be glad you took the time to read the book.

Lauren Layne is one of my favorite authors and all her books are on auto-buy for me.I don't think I could ever hate or even dislike anything that she writes.
Her writing and characters are so beautiful!And LL does it again with a second chance romance in Love Story!
Lucy had been in love with Reece, her brother's bestfriend ever since she was a kid.But he has his issues and he broke her heart, right after one of the most memorable moments of her life.She went off for college and they haven't been in contact ever since.Now that she's back and has gotten a new job in SF, she can explore, but she will have to take Reece along!
But just because you haven't talked to someone or haven't seen them in years, doesn't mean that you don't love them anymore right?
Lucy and Reece were such a great couple!I loved seeing them in the present, along with the flashbacks that showed us what happened previously too!The story flowed beautifully and it had me turning the pages, wishing the characters would just get their heads outta their butts soon.
Reece really tested my patience in this one, but I couldn't not love him you know?
In true LL style, he does mess up, but he is human and has his flaws and his reasons.
I loved the constant push and pull between the characters and the angst.The sexual tension between them just leaped out of the pages!And I was rooting for them every second!
This was a perfect book and I urge you to grab it!Especially because its Lauren Layne and its Valentin's Day!There's no way you couldn't love this book!

this pissed me off BAD. at first i was okay with the angst and miscommunication because i understood that they would find their way back to each other.
BUT when her sister told her to “go after him” and have a “real conversation like adults” i wanted to SCREAM bc thats what lucy had been trying to do the WHOLE TIME.
also reece took the wholei don’t think i’m good enough for you so im gonna self sabotage thing way too far.
i mean heREAD HER FREAKING DIARY!!! THATS A TOTAL VIOLATION OF TRUST!!
BUT
also reece took the whole
i mean he

Entertaining and sweet, but not spectacular or anything. Wish there had been more of the making up and less of the fighting. Every few chapters there would be a flashback scene from when Lucy and Reece were younger and I enjoyed those more than I enjoyed the present tense stuff. As a road trip lover I wish there had been more (really anything) about the trip besides quick descriptions of seedy motels. I did love Lucy's focus on her endgame and dedication to her career and goals.

Apart from the desperation I got from the two main characters because they WOULDN'T TALK ABOUT HOW THEY FELT, I really liked this a lot! I think Lauren Layne is going to be my go-to new adult author when I'm in the mood for it.

3.5 maybe? This was fast and fun and a nice break from all the SFF I've been reading.

The friends to enemies to lovers element to this was really fun to read though IRRITATING at times. The time these two spent hating each other was just unnecessary & a total waste of more than half of this book. But I still found myself enjoying it for the most part.
