Budding photographer Josie Saint-Martin has spent half her life with her single mother, moving from city to city. When they return to her historical New England hometown years later to run the family bookstore, Josie knows it’s not forever. Her dreams are on the opposite coast, and she has a plan to get there.

What she doesn’t plan for is a run-in with the town bad boy, Lucky Karras. Outsider, rebel…and her former childhood best friend. Lucky makes it clear he wants nothing to do with the newly returned Josie. But everything changes after a disastrous pool party, and a poorly executed act of revenge lands Josie in some big-time trouble—with Lucky unexpectedly taking the blame.

Determined to understand why Lucky was so quick to cover for her, Josie discovers that both of them have changed, and that the good boy she once knew now has a dark sense of humor and a smile that makes her heart race.

I enjoyed the setting of this book, it describes the cute New England style town you dream of visiting. I did enjoy the book for the setting, story, and characters individually. However, I found the main characters to be frustrating and almost annoying when together. The fact that these two former best friends couldn’t figure out how to act like normal humans around each other without constantly being mean and angry all the time seemed over the top. I understand hurt feelings and anger from the past can make things strange, but just when you think these two have it figured out they are mean and fighting again. I wouldn’t go as far as saying I don’t recommend this book but if someone asked for reading suggestions it wouldn’t be first on the list.
