Really enjoyed the book being inspired by Wreck this Journal, but I don't so much love the "old friend waiting in the wings to be loved" aspect. That said, this was an entertaining and well written book. ( )

Sweet story, best friends, one hopelessly in love the other clueless until she starts getting a life. Lots of little dramas and possible set up for a future couple. As I read the last page, I just left feeling it was a nice story. ( )

"I've loved you so long, I can't remember what it's like to not love you. And I will go to my grave loving you. You're my everything."

Abigale and Zach grew up together in front of the camera in Hollywood. Now they are adults; they have left it all behind them. Living their lives together but separately. Zach has loved Abigale for what feels like forever. Abigale loves her best friend, and she knows that she can always count on him.

After Abigale's fiance leaves her for "not being true to herself," she sets out to chuck planning her life, and just live life. One thing she wants is to have a torrid affair. Once she sets her mind to it, the only person she can see in her bed is Zach. She struggles with losing her friendship and possibly finding happiness. Zach couldn't be more ready to risk his friendship to finally have the woman he has loved for most of his life.

I will be honest. When I first began reading this book, I groaned. Realizing I was reading yet another unrequited love story, I was not anticipating it. I was greatly rewarded with love at its height. Sure there was the back and forth with denying love and refusing to love. However, there is reality and a little drama in there. This book is both typical and untypical of the usually unrequited love story. I found myself begging for Abigale to finally open her eyes to what has always been standing right in front of her. Zach's character coulnd't have been anymore dreamy. He knew what he wanted, and he was willing to stand by and wait for what he wanted, even if it took forever.

"She never seemed to notice that I was staring at her when she walked into the room." ( )

I adore a good best friends turned lovers theme and this one was good.

I loved how well they fit together. They truly were best friends who knew everything about each other. That they had sexual chemistry - once they crossed that line - was just an added bonus. I had no problem believing they could go the distance.

Zach Barnes has been in love with his best friend Abigale for what seems like forever. Since they were kids starring in the same tv show. Abigale has been clueless the whole time, but everyone around them knows how Zach really feels.

Abigale ran from LA as fast as she could when her dad died. Anything to get away from that life, and her horrible, overbearing, star climber of a mother. She really thought nothing of it when Zach followed fairly soon after. She totally bought that he just happened to find a job in the area, and, well, Zach was her best friend, he'd always been there, so she just didn't look too closely.

Only now, at age 29, after a broken engagement to an utter asshole, both of them have to rethink things. Zach needs to decide if he's willing to keep waiting on Abigale to SEE him, and Abi needs to figure out her whole messed up life.

It's really not helping settle her mind that she's suddenly starting to think of Zach differently. Little moments, touches that make her shiver, she can't really be looking at Zach like THAT, can she?

Oh, but she can, and we get taken on a lovely ride, as Abigale finally starts to realize what's been staring her in the face all along, and Zach finally decides to reach out and grab what he's wanted for forever.

Abigale is a bit of a mess. She ran from her mother and her life in LA, only to end up engaged to a guy who wants her to go back to that life. When he dumps her, telling her she's not true to herself, at first she thinks it's BS, but the more she thinks, the more she wonders. She loves her life, but yeah, she's a bit uptight, and lonely. All she's ever had that's steady in her life is Zach, and she can't risk losing her best friend if things don't work out.

I absolutely loved Zach, he's just a great guy. Yeah, he's got tattoos, long hair, and runs his own tattoo shop, but never once are we lead to think Zach is a bad boy. He's just a really nice, fantastic hot guy. He loves Abigale SO much, if only she could see. He also has a great family, and I'm guessing we'll be seeing more of them in future books? Hoping? ( )
