Thank you NetGalley, Montlake, and Cathy Yardley for this e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

It's a second chance romance between high school sweethearts who have been apart for 10 years and one party does not know why they even separated in the first place especially since it was during a crucial time for the break-up-ee then fast forward to 10 years after the break-up, the break-up-er requests the break-up-ee to do something for him (with something in exchange, of course). Need I say more?!

[P.S. break-up-ee is Emily and break-up-er is Vinh]

I love, love, love second chance romances! There's just something about it, you know? It's definitely the angst. Unfortunately, there wasn't that much angst in the book and it was more of a rom-com type.

There were so many LOL moments, like
when Emily literally dropped the pie and ran when she saw Vinh
. They all got their moments. The romance between Emily and Vinh is really cute.

Overall, 3.5 stars.
