This book was just about perfect as a charming friends to romance story.  I adored the shy and sometimes awkward characters, the plot line, the way the romance developed… everything.  The story centers on Lizzy and Jack who have been best friends since childhood but live in different cities.  When Lizzy’s career as a corporate attorney causes a panic attack, she takes a three week break from work and rents a place in Jack’s small town.  To add to the charm, the apartment she rents is above a bookstore and she gets to live out her childhood dream of helping to revamp it in her spare time.  While Lizzy is in town, there is a slow and flirtatious build where they are both nervously realizing the depth of their feelings.  The reader gets to see both of their perspectives which adds to the cuteness.  
 
The romance itself was written so well I could picture their facial expressions and the town they lived in (please make this a movie).  Their families and friends were lovable side characters (please please make a book for each sibling) and the bookstore setting was just too much for this book lover – I was smitten.  I sincerely hope that there is more to come for these characters. 

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my review - I really enjoyed reading it!
