Publisher's summary

From New York Times best-selling author Penelope Ward comes a new stand-alone novel.

The beginning of my sophomore year in college was off to a rough start.

On the first day of orientation, I had an altercation with an infuriating British dude in a campus bathroom.

(The ladies’ room was out of order. So, I used the men’s room. Don’t judge.)

I got home later that night and realized that the foreign student we were expecting to rent a room in my parents’ house was allergic to our cat.

So, the spare room went to someone else: Caleb - the British guy from the men’s room.

And so it began...my love-hate story with Caleb Yates. Or was it hate-love in that order?

The guy knew how to push every one of my buttons.

Sometimes I’d email him to express my aggravation and disdain.

He’d actually rewrite my own words and send them back to me.

That was the type of infuriating person Caleb was.

So frustrating.

And...

Sometimes incredibly funny and endearingly sweet.

And hot.

He eventually grew on me, and Caleb soon became one of my best friends that year.

Too bad he was headed back to England soon, so nothing could happen between us - for so many reasons.

I definitely couldn't fall in love with him, especially since all we had was just one year.

Predictable.....

Penelope Ward is an amazing writer, but this one just did not hit it out of the park for me. Definitely a little disappointing. Story is cute.

Sexy and British...yes please!!!

This is definitely a serious slow burning friends to lovers romance, heart-achingly beautiful when they get there. Towards the end I just had to finish so stayed up late on this one, needed to get to that HEA!! Shane East-why I wish there were more books for you to narrate...just love him!!

Beautifully Fantastic

Penelope Ward has done it again, a fabulous read with all the feelings one could ask for. I have a strange new addiction to s'mores :)

Beautiful Story & A Must Listen!

Every once in awhile there is a story that comes along and gives you "All the Feels" and Penelope Ward hit it out of the park with this novel about young love. Two characters who have their own baggage and heartache as children that find each other as adults in a fate-driven circumstance. While the story text alone is great, the narration team of Andi Arndt & Shane East completely gave a homerun performance making the words come to life. Andi is always great at turning a detached character like Teagen a space to belong and turning on all your emotions for her happiness to survive. Shane is impeccable in his delivery of not just the comedic, smart alec lines that Caleb spouts from emails & texts, but in the loss, heartbreak & falling in love moments quietly spoken.

All the feels is the best statement for this novel! Definitely going into the "repeat listen" category!

Sweetness overload!

I loved this beautifully broken couple and their story. I couldn’t turn it off once it started. I know I will listen to this one over and over.

Good not Great

I got this book due to the author and narrators. I didn't even read the synopsis. Word of advice read the synopsis before you buy.

Good Book

Caleb and Teagan's first encounter is the funniest part of the book, although there aren't many laughs following, it has more of a serious side when they discover they have feelings for each other they began to open up to each other about their broken past. There are some deep parts. This book was very entertaining. Great narration

Can’t go wrong with Penelope!

I love everything Penelope has written! She’s excellent and the narrators are too! I’ve read and listened to this one and I liked reading it better than listening. Idk why… sometimes that happens for me.
