These kinds of books/covers always catch my eye. The impossible love story where they are just destined to be together in the end. The fluff, the feel good.

This story caught my attention with the tag line on the cover 'their love sorry started with goodbye'

I loved how Phoebe and Sam met. I think saying goodbye to someone like that for a year would be incredibly difficult so I really wanted to respect and absorb the individual journeys they took that year apart. I think that was my favorite part of the book, when they were apart physically but together in their hearts.

What I didn't love was the back and forth and constant interrupts of their love taking flight after their year apart. I understand that it's fiction and that there has to be a struggle to find their way back to each other but I found there to be too many. Too many misunderstanding, too many interruptions.

In the end, I thought Miranda ended it beautifully and I am glad the novel ended where it did.

My favorite line in the book which, is true of all relationships in life, was "You can only walk through a door: if the person on the other side chooses not to open it, what can you do? In the end, I think it's better to seek the open doors and accept those that stay closed. Life, I'm learning, is holding everything lightly; being prepared to let it go. You can't control how anyone else lives. You can love them, but that's the only power you have. You can't make somebody love you."
