Could NOT put this one down. A really wonderful story about the growth of friendship into first love (had so many flashbacks to mine while reading), and finding each other again after many painful years apart.
That being said, The Big Reveal of what had happened in their past made some of the rest of the story...not as plausible. I acknowledge that the timing of the reveal was likely for dramatic effect, and sure, people respond differently to situations and trauma, but...it lost some believability for me.
Still absolutely loved it. Going on the favorites shelf.
