I thought this book would be based in "my" kind of reality. It isn't. Both main characters have over-the-top jobs. The guy is too perfect (how is he able to, in 1 guess, name her favorite type of ice cream? And don't get me started about the knitting store).
I got 80 pgs into book and still wasn't attached to characters or their oh-so-fabulous lives. Decided to just move on to the next book in my tbr list.

I loved the hero's family and the falling in love portion of the story. The heroine's move across the country after they had just met was frustrating, and the plot line of the business project with her long time friends made me feel like I was starting another book. I liked it enough to look for the next one in the series, but I hope it will be less disjointed.

I loved this book. I believe she is a new author for me - I know she is on my TBR. I was rooting for the couple the whole time. As I was reading though I was hoping the ending wasn't going to be so sudden. I am not sure that I agree with how the book ended but I am glad to know that this is the start of a series. I can't wait to get the next one.

I gave up after chapter three and usually I try to give books a good old try. I kept waiting for these characters to connect. I wasn't inspired to care or to invest my time further. I was very glad I borrowed the book from the library.

I have to admit I read more than 3/4 of the book and then gave up. I couldn't connect emotionally with the characters. I think disjointed was a good way to describe the book.
There were so many things going on in Grace's life but things are placed in the background as other things show up. What was supposed to be a really emotional development with her grandfather kind of gets put away when she decides to open the store with her friends. The emotional development with her friends doesn't really happen, you are just told repeatedly they are closed. This keeps going on. As a result I felt like I got a bunch of little parts of Grace's life that never really meet up. Everyone was so flat.
It wasn't a horrible book. Just not the type of writing style I enjoy. This is my second attempt at reading Skye and both times I didn't care for her style, so most likely I won't try her again.
