Thank you Netgalley and Boldwood Books for the ARC in return for my honest review.
Liv and Ben - one chance encounter trying to rescue a cat - sets off a chain of events that last eight years.
Liv meets Ben. She is instantly attracted to him. He seems to be attracted to her. They get locked in a shed and after two hours of sharing her innermost thoughts, issues, etc. she finds out he has a girlfriend (what a jerk!).
This story is all about missed chances, miscommunication (Ben and Liv do not communicate well together) and lots of feelings. When Liv and Ben decide to give themselves "just one night" - - things don't go as planned.
Ok. So this is a bit of a romantic-mystery. Ben has secrets that he is keeping and so while we try to figure it all out, Liv is really confused. If you read Beth O'Leary's "The No Show" - this is a similar type of book. Not an all-right romance: but romance is the underlying theme that keeps the story going.
I don't want to give too much away - but this was super cute. I loved both Ben and Liv. I wish Ben's POV had been shared more often (it's dual POV but not 50/50)- and because it's mostly Liv's story, you really feel like you are in the dark about 90% of the book.
This was a quick read: lots of fun, quick paced and has you cheering for our protagonists to find their HEA.
Recommended. This should make you smile.
