This was all over the chart and there was so much of it that I just didn't "get". These two went to school together ten years ago but they barely gave one another the time of day let alone expressed any romantic feelings. Actually, Gideon hated Jonah and blamed him for something that he thought he had done but was willing to forgive him for ten years down the road. Really??? What exactly was Jonah supposed to have done???? Gideon was a train wreck waiting to happen. He was moody, insecure, hot tempered and too quick to jump to the wrong conclusions. Such an unlikeable character that I thought Jonah should have counted his lucky stars and shut and locked the door. It's a likable enough storyline, but not believable, understandable, or executed very well, which is unusual for this author. Too much was left unexplained. Felice Steven's characters are always "damaged" but so far in all her books that I have read, they have been worthy of the time to "repair" them. Jonah should have just put Gideon back on the shelf.

There was something compelling and warm about the this life choices story. There was realness in the action of each Gideon and Jonah. Each had a life that lead them each in a different direction than when they knew each other from a distance in high school. I enjoyed the overall struggle to get to that point in life where its time to have what you want at any cost.

Gideon and Jonah had to come to those crossroads for themselves to make that a straight decision that would be met with no regrets. I say good job Felice Stevens.
