Growing up, Shiloh's friendship with Cary was the only thing that got her through high school in Omaha, Nebraska. However, after graduation they lost touch when Shiloh went off to college and Cary joined the Navy. Fourteen years later, Shiloh finds herself back in her hometown, a divorced single mom who lost her dreams along the way. When Cary returns for a friend's wedding, Shiloh hopes to reconnect with Cary, whom she never realized she loved until he was gone.

Rainbow Rowell's latest novel is a classic miscommunication and second-chance romance. Cary and Shiloh are so joined at the hip and yet both AWFUL about sharing their feelings. You just want to smack a little sense into them. Despite their numerous flaws, I was hooked by their love story and I think I'm realizing I'm a sucker for second-chance romances.
