Summary:
“There was true depth to the story and the characters that moved me and emotionally gutted me. I was so taken by Nate and Emi’s love for each other. It’s the kind of love that few have and many desire but never get to experience.” – Megan, Reading Books Like a Boss
Independent and sensitive, idealistic and hopeful, Emi Hennigan lives her life with optimism and an open mind. Between sharing a tiny Manhattan apartment with her fun-loving roommate and spending most of her free time with her heart-breaker friend, Emi’s seen enough failed relationships to know what to avoid in her quest to find her true love. Not only that, but a single moment from her past lingers in her mind, setting high expectations for every man she dates.
Emi’s best friend, artist and hopeless romantic Nate Wilson, has been her closest companion all of their adult lives. After swearing off love with Emi in a silly high school pact, Nate has been seeing other women in hopes of finding one that evokes stronger feelings than the ones he’s been harboring for Emi since he was a teen. Over the span of a year, boundaries are crossed, feelings are confessed, and their unique friendship begins to blossom into something more.
Through Nate’s eyes, an atypical romance unfolds, disrupting the comfortable safe haven their friendship has provided. With a promising future ahead of them both, fate intervenes to bring two soul mates together.
My Thoughts:
This book takes place about 10 years after the first one. Emi and Nate are still friends, but they are not together, they are keeping a pact that they made when they were younger which I find cute.
There is a lot of chemistry between Emi and Nate, but they don’t do anything about it until later. They both date other people and go their separate ways. There relationship didn’t feel forced an I liked that about it the story because some you read, and you like there just getting to know one another in one chapter and in the next there sleeping with one another. So, it was nice to see that this one was realistic and took its natural course.
There was a part of the book that I saw that something was going to happen because of the way the book as going. I don’t remember when it actually happens but oh my gosh! I had to re read it a few times because I thought it didn’t really happen. With that being said… I think that it made more of the story more relatable. Nate is an amazing guy for Emi. I loved this book because we also got to see more of Nate which I loved. He’s such a charming, cocky, caring guy. Emi Is a lucky to have him, if he didn’t I wouldn’t mind scooping him up.
