Very cute story.
Overall a good story about second chances, letting go of the past, and not jumping to conclusions. I just wish I liked the FMC more.
Lauren's anger with Will about what happened all of those years ago (when Will was CLEARLY plastered and incapable of making rational decisions, and then afterwards...not remembering) turns her into a real crappy person for a while, but luckily Will powers through it. She doesnt deserve him TBH. There were a lot of great moments and banter between the two main characters.
Aside from Lauren's crappy attitude that ebbs and flows throughout the book, her jumping to conclusions, trying to explain away everything, her judging about his flirting or even just conversing with other women, and her idiotic views about people not ever changing were extremely annoying. Her insecurities also get in her own way, which never really get addressed.
I liked the ending, even though it was pretty obvious how she was being set up. All in all it is a nice, quick feel good story.
