Review: This book is a sweet and light romantic read. I expected this to be a little bit of a love triangle between three best friends type of book, but it was more than that. I liked that this took place over many years of JJ's life.  In the first chapter she is in fourth grade and by the end of the book she is out of college. That is a lot of jumping around and at the beginning of the book, it kind of annoyed me because it would only show brief scenes and then jump to a later time period. However, once she was older it caught up to "present day" and then it became one continuous story. Basically, the first part of the book is giving  a background on these characters. I didn't expect things to be so obvious, as far as which guy she would end up with. I expected a t least a little bit of suspense and surprise. I liked the characters. Although, JJ was a little bit annoying at times. I'm not sure if I am going to read the sequel because JJ's attitude about things was really getting to me. If the kindle edition ever goes on sale than I will probably get it, but otherwise I don't know if I will. I'm honestly not sure there ever needed to be s sequel because this is a sweet and fun story and there is nothing wrong with things ending here. Overall, this a sweet and fun read that I did enjoy.
