Honestly, I could not care if they ended up together or not. Lily and Avery are one of those couples who are so dramatic, so intense, that you just want to read the end and not get thru the drama. The first 5 years happen fast; in these letters, at least, I did not feel the chemistry. Their love-hat...
God I love Brockway!"Avery?" she whispered.He gathered her closer, his eyes still closed."Avery?""Shh." His voice was low and infinitely sad. "Hush. Tomorrow's waiting outside this door.

Neither groundbreaking or groundshaking, this was a good book to read at the beach or whilst curled up on a comfy chair.Avery and Lily have amazing chemistry but some of the lines were a bit cheesy and on top of that, Lily's feminism ways were colored by something close to misogyny. It looks like th...
