Summary:
A timeless tale of young romance.
Lorona Connelly is ready for a change from her carefully planned, bookish life. When sparks fly at a costume party, she embraces a chance for romance with the handsome Kestrin Feather. However, she quickly realizes that even love and destiny may not be enough to overcome the reality of an overprotective mother-in-law and Kestrin's long, tarnished history of relationships.
When Lorona's curiosity leads her to Kestrin's journal, doubt plagues them both with insecurities and threatens the relationship. Can true love overcome the odds, or was their whirlwind romance just a frivolous crush? Author Elise Stephens shares a journey of young love, fate, and wounded trust in the story of Lorona and Kestrin, a couple who must learn to overcome their fears to share a life together.
My Review:
This book was really good! I loved the mystery and the bit of romance in there. Plus, their obsession with oranges was funny to me.
I really liked their little romance and the oranges, omg. I really loved Lorona. She was so innocent and good. Kestrin is a womanizer in my mind though. But whatever. They were cute.
I didn't really like how the book was so fast paced. It seemed like once some plot was finished, it started on a new one right away. And their relationship, they just rushed into it and then when they stopped to breathe, they found out they didn't really have much in common with each other.
So, this book had the right amount of romance and mystery in it and that's why I like it this much!
Overall, this book was really good and I cannot wait to put this on my re-read list.
