Ms. Murray penned a witty and charming story that had me rooting for the characters from the very beginning. Meeting Lily and her quirky friends was like getting to know someone who would be a friend of my own. And the chemistry between her and Nate was so intense I could feel it through my eReader. The only thing I really felt was missing was the lead up to the building of Nate and Lily’s relationship. I think things happened a bit too fast and would have loved to have seen a bit more anticipation before they jumped in the sack the first time. Other than that, the suspense and romance angle worked really well together and kept me guessing until the last page.

I’ve never read Hannah Murray before, and was pleasantly surprised by this book. I’m so pleased I got to review it. This author’s works would make a great addition to anyone’s book shelf, and any other’s by her will soon be making a home on my shelves.
