This is a very short novella and I think the story suffers from that. Although I really liked Cooper, his friend (the bride) and his family, it was hard for me to comprehend why he couldn't forget Will all these years and what he really saw in him.

Maybe if it had been a longer story, it would have been possible to show more of that. I am still rating it three stars because as I said, I generally liked the characters, and also the atmosphere of Cooper's home town.
