This romance between two college students has all the intensity, emotion and yearning of all first loves. A. M. Johnson does such a great job of capturing that feeling of that first adult relationship, how the stakes feel so enormously high.

The thing is, though, that the whole book was like that. It was over three hundred pages of intense longing, of facing perceived obstacles at every corner, and it started to lose its impact. By the end it felt almost unrealistic, which was a shame as it started out so strong.

I would have liked more variation, more shades and colours of emotion. There was nothing light-hearted to balance the heady romance, and there were no real sub-plots. The romance was a very enjoyable read, but on its own it was just a bit much.
