Chloe and Oliver start out as pen pals in elementary school. From the beginning, it's clear that they have a deep connection and they become best friends. As they get older, they realize their feelings might go deeper than friendship. When they finally both get the courage to tell each other how they feel, Oliver's family has to leave town when his mother gets in trouble with the law. Oliver doesn't get a chance to tell Chloe why he has to leave and just disappears from her life.
Fast forward to present day. Chloe is living in NYC and is laid off from her job as a guidance counselor. Looking for a way to give herself purpose, Chloe starts making origami roses with inspirational messages inside and leaving them around the city.
As Chloe's paper flowers become a phenomenon, coincidences of who gets the messages and how they are connected to her and, it turns out Oliver - who is now also living in NYC - start to surface.
Is this book cheesy and unbelievable at times? Absolutely. But if you want a feel good story that leaves you cheering for Chloe and Oliver, this is it. A great summer beach read. I read it in one day and couldn't put it down.
