4/5 Stars.

Description: If you have seven days to fall in love as a teen, then not see that person again for 15 years, would you do it? Eva and Shane didn't have a choice; that's what happened to them. Both grew up to become authors and when they reconnect after 15 years, there are questions that need to be answered. Will they reconnect or will the past break them apart in the present day?

The good:
- All the characters in this book I absolutely adored.
- I want more from this universe.
- I thought the movement of time between past and present was done very well.
- This book was a lot deeper than I anticipated. This isn't just a light romance read and I appreciated the depth from this novel.

The loss of a star:
- The ending was way too open-ended for me. I have a million questions and without seeing a sequel for this book in any type of production or hints, I can't rate this higher than a 4. I am a person who loves standalone to be wrapped up nicely and this was not that.

Overall: I'd recommend it if you can handle open-ended endings/cliffhangers in romance novels. If you can't do the open-ended endings, I wouldn't recommend this.
