Maria Luis is usually a go-to Author for me because her books are typically safe, humorous and have likable characters. But honestly, that was just a minor grievance, and all in all, I thought it was a fantastic book. I think the story could have been about fifty pages shorter. This is what I would call a slow burn type of story as it takes quite a while for this couple to get their sh!t together. I found that the story did drag here and there, and I struggled a little bit not to skim in places. So with all that good stuff, why not 5-Stars? I thought it was a bit too long. Last, it was all wrapped up in a sweet ending. Sure she still harbored a crush for the guy, but it didn't stop her from living. In fact, one of the things I especially liked was that even though Mina had been crushing on Nick since she was a teen, she didn't sit around pining for him but moved on with her life. He wasn't an asshole or a manwhore (thankfully), just an all around decent guy. Both the main characters were very likable. It had a great cast of diverse secondary characters.
