Story Line: I loved this story line! It automatically grabbed my attention from the beginning with the accidental phone call from Zach to Rennie. From then on the story got even better! As Rennie moves back to her hometown and is forced to work with Zach her life is completely turned upside down. All the events that lead up to her finally telling the truth were very entertaining. I liked that this book was told through both Rennie and Zach's perspectives because it made me love the characters and connect with them more. Also, although I may be partial because I love baseball, I have to admit that I loved the incorporation of baseball into the book!!
Relationship: Rennie and Zach connection is the real thing when it comes to love. They grew up as high school sweethearts and even though they were separated for ten years their love for each other never changed, in fact it may have even gotten stronger. I loved reading about how they rekindled their relationship by falling in love with each other all over again!
Characters:
Rennie: Rennie's character annoyed me a little in the beginning of the book (because she left Zach at the alter over a problem that could have been dealt with if she had talked to him and then she lied to him too); however, as the book progressed I grew to enjoy her character. Rennie has to confront her past and the consequences of the choices she made. I liked reading about the growth of her character from a weak and dutiful girl to a strong, confidant, and independent woman.
Zach: Zach, while not without his faults, was an AMAZING character! I fell in love with his character in his first chapter. I loved reading about his growth from an immature boy to a loving and mature man. It was sweet, heart pulling, and inspiring to read about his constant love for Rennie, even with everything that happened. In all, I absolutely loved his character and it was so easy to fall in love with him as well!!
Overall: This book is a combination of misunderstandings, lies, jealousy, deception, family relationships, true love, and baseball! So, overall this book has it all!!! I had a blast reading it and couldn't put it down for one second! Perfect feel good book for the upcoming summer (especially with the third major character that I won't spoil but who completes the book!
Rating: I would give this book a 9 out of 10!!!
