I really worried that I wouldn't get along with this one, because I really struggled with the first chapter and wondered if the whole of it would be a chore. Alas, things got better with the second chapter and from there on, the story was rather nice.
Nova's finding her feet as an orphan, moving back home to look after her sister. Ronan, next door, is finally putting his life back together after a rather spectacular meltdown after life handed him a bad deal. Circumstances throw them together, and attraction keeps them together.
I found the story cutesy, and the characters lovable, but wasn't a fan of the obligatory caricature that was Melinda. Also not a great fan of the ending where Nova gets her cake and eats it while Ronan has to choose love over the opportunity of a lifetime. I'm sure it's romantic and whatnot, but I'm not a fan.
Anyhow. A good read regardless.
