Just loved this book. The writing is excellent and the pace and flow of the story is perfect. Auburn and Owen have crossed paths before, but only Owen knows. They meet again several years later and despite Auburn's misgivings and personal issues, they connect in a lovely way. 
 Auburn has moved to Texas and works as a haircutter (there's a wonderful scene where a drunk Auburn cuts Owen's hair). Owen is a successful artist who takes peoples' anonymous confessions and paints them. They must work through several issues to find a happy ending, but the story is very believable and relatable. They are nice people and you root for them all the way. A very satisfying and romantic story.
