I loved this book! It was the age old tale of a lost flame and what happens when adults assume things and do not communicate effectively. So many relationship delays, missed connections, and hurt feelings can be avoided with communication. Girl loves boy, leaves boy, runs back into boy, just as a new boy (who know know if probably too good to be true) comes into the picture. Eventual the new boy is found out to be the scoundrel he is, and girl gets the first boy, now a man, and we all live happily ever after. Add in a university, books, and parties, and we have a winning book! Cute dogs always help too!
I thought the book's timing was perfection! I gobbled the book up in no time and found myself thinking about it during work, staring at the clock to make it go faster so I could go home and read. I also think the book was very realistic. Nothing felt forced or unbelievable for all the characters involved, even when you could see where it was going as the reader.
A few times I wanted to smack Anne for being blind or silly, but it's usually easier to see a scoundrel when you are on the outside of the relationship.
