4.5 stars
The second book in the series and a lovely story about Nix and Elle.
Firstly, i have to say that i loved the first book and was looking forward to this story for a few months now.
What i didn't expect is to find both of them so lovable and so real down to earth.
Nix has been through a lot a quarterback in high school and college. All his life seemed already settled by his father decisions mostly. He wasn't allowed to make one wrong step and when something unexpected happened, he needs to do a good deed and is brought face to face with Elle.
Elle has no time to breathe or think for herself between the job, school and volunteering jobs. She has trust issues and doesn't want to let loose for a second. I must admit that i didn't like her at all times but i do love that the author has created characters that we can relate to and remember that nobody is perfect.
Close proximity can do miracles to these two that becomes friends and more than friends in a short time.
I always found this time in everyone's life a very important moment for the future because there are decisions to take that can change and shape our lives. And the story is exactly about that, about making future decisions and make space in there for what our hearts want.
I love the side characters and can't wait to read more about mysterious letters.
Nothing less but the best love story from the author as we're used to by now.
