Booklist Review

Fallon meets Ben when he saves her from an unpleasant lunch with her actor-father on a terrible anniversary. It has been two years since a fire scarred her, ending her own acting career. She is about to leave to pursue her dreams in New York, but they spend the rest of her last day in L.A together and agree to meet on November 9 every year for five years so that he can write a book about their relationship. Without contact in between dates, they meet each year in increasingly emotional reunions, helping each other deal with huge changes in their lives. While this idea is not new, Hoover (Confess, 2015) infuses it with her trademark passion and emotion. When Ben suffers a terrible loss days before one of their meetings, the plot and feelings ratchet up to a stunning, surprising conclusion. Hoover continues her spot-on streak of NA winners, with a relatable, appealing cast and vivid scenarios.--Alessio, Amy Copyright 2015 Booklist

Library Journal Review

With one of the most fetching opening scenes in a long time, Hoover's (Confess; Maybe Someday; Ugly Love) latest will have readers hooked from the first pages. Fallon is having a horrible lunch in L.A. with her father when adorable Ben slips in the restaurant booth and pretends to be her boyfriend. She goes with it, and the two have an amazing day together. She is moving to New York that night, and they're both only 18, so they decide to meet on the same day next year to touch base, without exchanging any personal info. As the years unfold they stick to this plan, despite many obstacles between them. Additionally, how does their relationship factor in both their lives, careers, and where they choose to live? Just when you think this romantic story is following a clear path, Hoover throws in a doozy of a plot twist! Then this heartfelt novel combines with an emotional thriller that readers won't be able to put down. VERDICT Hoover joins the ranks of -such luminaries as -Jennifer Weiner and Jojo Moyes, with a dash of Gillian Flynn. Sure to please a plethora of -readers.-Beth Gibbs, Davidson, NC © Copyright 2015.
