Liked it but it didn't blow me away. Rachel is a really well written character but I didn't feel like I had as much insight into Andy - kind of wish he'd been in first-person as well. Some of the minor characters felt a little cartoonish (like Maisie) but I thought they were overall effective. Solid but nothing spectacular.
Rachel Blum - high brow Philly/Miami; heart defect
Andy Landis - poor, runner, Olympian, lost
Story moved too slowly, and felt no attachment to characters.
It's been awhile since I've read a romance, but after a week like I had (it was the first week of school...need I say more?) a gentle romance was about the only reading my tired brain could handle. I read it in three hours, gobbled it, really, and it was the absolute perfect book for me after that long, long, long first week of school. Like a soda after a detox or summer break after the first year of college or the new fall lineup after summer reruns. A lovely little romance.
