I always enjoy Liz Isaacson's books. She writes a clean, entertaining love story. With my personal life in such a turmoil right now, I love that I can take one of her books and get away for awhile, without leaving home. I am sorry to say this is not one of my favorites. It is a personal thing, but I thought the age difference between the two main characters was a little too much. I felt Ben due to earlier circumstances was naive and more like a teenager than a twenty five year old man. Rae on the other hand is ten years his senior and is very mature. She has had a few bad relationships. Serving as over seeing of the recreational director of the town. To me it just didn't seem a plausible match. ( )
