MY THOUGHTS
This is a book to read if you are wanting realistic characters trying to make a seemingly impossible situation work. I enjoyed just about everything in this book, including Chris and Corrine, and I would recommend it to those searching for a light, romantic read.
Chris...sigh! What can I say about the guy? He's pretty awesome all around. Not only is he great looking, he's got charisma oozing from his pores, and he can sing! Despite all this, he's definitely not perfect. He's a recovering alcoholic, so he's struggling with sobriety on a daily basis. He's also starting off a solo career, but with a pretty severe case of writer's block, he's in a bit of a bind. That's where Corrine comes in. She's had to grow up very quickly, and while I won't get into her backstory here a whole lot, I will say that Josephs does a great job of explaining Corrine's motivations in a way that will help the reader empathize with her. So while I sometimes got frustrated with Corrine - come on, girl, this guy is hot for you and he's awesome, go for it! - I could always understand her reason for caution.
There were times I thought the plot moved a little slowly, but by the same token I can see why the author decided to move at a slower pace. It was nice to see that even with their obvious attraction, Chris and Corrine developed a pretty healthy friendship before deciding to progress to something more.
There are, of course, some inevitable bumps and bruises on their road to happily ever after, but overall, I'm happy with how Chris and Corrine resolved their issues. I look forward to reading more in this series!
