One of my top 5 favorite books EVER! Bailey and Noah were engaged when they were in college. An unexpected turn of events tore them apart. Now they’re face to face to face once again. Did I mention that their spending the next week in a remote cabin?!?!?!
I really enjoyed everything about this book. The characters were developed and I was invested in the characters. I’m not drawn to the sappy, cheesy fairy tale love stories that end with a prince. This was definitely not that! But the story kept me flipping the pages as fast I could to see how it would end. I’m ecstatic that there’s a sequel, which I am going to start to read right now!

Three and a half stars.
Bailey is a divorced single mother, working as a social worker and barely making ends meet as her ex continues to believe that his band will one day make it big. Then her widowed father announces that he is getting married and he wants Bailey and her daughter Lily to spend the half-term week with him and his bride-to-be at her son's lake cottage.
All is great until Bailey arrives at the cottage to find that her father's fiancé is the mother of her college ex-boyfriend, and the cottage belongs to said ex-boyfriend Noah. No-one made the connection until it was too late, now Noah loathes Bailey and can't stop making snide comments, he even deliberately burns her burger! Bailey can't believe it, Noah is now a successful ER doctor with a swanky car, home in the city, boat and a lake-side cottage while she is sharing a bedroom with her six-year old daughter.
Told through flashbacks we learn how Bailey and Noah met, why they split and why Noah can't forgive her.
This was an enjoyable read, I guess it was a massive coincidence that Bailey's father and Noah's mother meet and fall in love but I thought the set up for why Noah hates Bailey (and why she acted the way she did) was pretty believable.

This was a pleasant surprise (I'd initially written Costa off after my first read, which was CRAZY IN LOVE).
It was 4.25 stars instead of 5 because I felt the Theo storyline/interactions were a bit contrived and Lily got a little annoying.
But I'm already on B2!

Read it in one sitting
Fun great read! Read the whole thing in one sitting while my daughter was getting her hair done! Definitely a feel good chick lit!
