Elle Sampson has had a crush on her neighbor Jonah Quinn forever. She has found out bits and pieces of information (including his name) from other people. In fact, her thirst for information or even glimpses of Jonah borders obsessive. One day a mugger attacks Elle, and Jonah rescues her. It is then that Elle finds out that Jonah has been watching her too.
They begin spending time together, but Jonah is holding back. Soon Elle discovers that Jonah has a an issue answering the most basic questions about his life. Since he is not being fortcoming, Elle becomes suspicious. What is he hiding and is Jonah someone Elle should stay away from, or is he just afraid to trust people? Elle has to figure out what to do because she is falling for him but doesn't know if he is shy guy or an axe murderer.
I like the story. It was paced well, it had some emotional scenes and it was well written. I liked both Elle and Jonah. Elle definitely is a patient girl, a lot more patient than I would have been. But she was just what Jonah needed to overcome his trust issues. There was a good depth to the story and their relationship was very believeable.
I wish the author spent a little more time on Elle as the bulk of the story focused on Jonah and his baggage, but I enjoyed the evolution of Jonah Quinn.
