This book was a second chance romance between former high school sweethearts six years after their break up. Their mothers get them to work together in getting a house ready to be put on the market and they are forced to confront what happened to make their relationship come to an end. I really enjoyed some aspects of the book. For example, I really enjoyed the humor and the characters However, the plot fell a little flat for me. The book heavily relies on the miscommunication trope and that is not something that I enjoy in a novel. I also really wanted to feel the tension between the two characters and I think that a dual point of view would have made that happen. All in all, I really enjoyed the book, and would recommend it to people who enjoy second chance romances.
