Loveable characters:
Yes
I loved this book. Joe and Cate stole my heart and I couldn't help cheering for them and wanting to know how their story ended up. I also loved the way this book was written in a more biographical way with the dual point of view. Joe feels a little bit trapped by his family's name and the expectations placed on him because he is a Kingsley. Cate sometimes struggles to get past the trauma that marked her childhood. When they meet, they can't help but be drawn to each other. Unfortunately, at the time they are both seeing other people, but life brings them together again, and this time they don't let go. That is until something is revealed that threatens to tear them apart.
