Sandy Halls debut novel is an irresistibly sweet romance between two college students told from multiple perspectives.Lea and Gabe are in the same creative writing class.

Booklist Review Consisting of fourteen viewpoints, it would be easy for some dissonance to creep into the story; however, all chapters are easy to read and form a cohesive whole.
