Given Our History by Kristyn J. Miller
3.0
funny hopeful medium-paced
Loveable characters: Yes


If you are a looking for a second chance romance in an academia setting then this one is for you. Clara and Teddy met at camp as teenagers and grew to have feelings for each other but something happened and it ended. 10 years later they are reconnected as Teddy is a visiting professor at where Clara teaches. 

The story is told in past and present timeline. I really enjoyed the past timelines and all the way they communicated and it felt real that life gets busy you lose touch. 

The story kept me curious what led to the end of their friendship and was disappointed it was a miscommunication. 

The present time, I felt that Teddy fell too fast and there wasn't much reconnecting for me to buy it. I did enjoy the addition of Clara's sister to add some sass to the story.

Thank you @smpromance for a copy of the book.
