This story not only entertained but held some real life truth within it's pages. So often we become so comfortable within our lives that we make excuses and write off things that seem out of place because we don't want to rock the boat. In this case, Jillian's life had a plan...she was going to continue to enjoy her friends and her boyfriend and move forward with her life uninterrupted this summer. Turns out that life had another road for her to take. Grant also had a plan and no desire to change it...until Jillian entered his life. 
 Now, you might be saying to yourself "been there, read that". But, don't think that way just yet. This book was a little bit different. Yes, there was the romance and the chemistry, but it was also a story that challenged the characters to think outside their preconceived notions about what would happen next in their lives. It allowed them to understand that maybe what they'd settled for wasn't necessarily in their best interest. And it made a point that none of us should be blind to the possibilities that exist just outside our comfort zone. 
 I enjoyed the characters and their interactions with each other. I must admit that I didn't always agree with the decisions Jillian made and at times wanted to tell her to get a move on, that the obvious choice was right in front of her. But at the same time, I appreciated the fact that she didn't just jump. Grant was definitely a swoonworthy character...caring and genuine, while still sexy and smart. And, I have to say that I loved getting this story from both of the POV's. It was great to understand what was happening to both of them. 
 Overall, this was a quick read that was not only enjoyable but that had a good life lesson in my opinion. Never shut yourself off from the possibilities that life throws at you...they may be the ones worth living for.
