How is it that this book was published in 2014, and I’m just reading it now?

The two main characters, Tate Collins and Miles Archer, agree to enter into a “friends with benefits” arrangement. It seems perfect for both of them. Miles isn’t looking for love. Since Tate is going to graduate school during the week and working as an RN on the weekends, she has no time for dating. Miles has two rules - never ask about the past and don’t expect a future. But, is this the perfect arrangement? What if one starts to have feelings for the other? What if one wants to break one of the rules?

This book is told in alternating points of view between Tate and Miles. Tate’s point of view is told in present time. Miles’s point of view focuses on events in his life that happened six years earlier. Readers slowly learn Miles’s struggles with love in his chapters.

Don’t underestimate the importance of the character, Cap, to this story.

There are some readers who hated this book. Not me! I really liked it. This book made me laugh, it brought me to tears, it made me mad, and I also felt sad while reading it.

“But sometimes we don’t do it for ourselves. We do it for the people we love more than ourselves.”

“I didn’t fall in love with you. I flew.”
