This was a good read. I had thought that it would be a lot different than it was, but it is what it is. I really liked the chemistry that Noah and Jordan obviously had. And then he gets a message that changes everything. Then there's Griffin, he's a real sweetheart, but Jordan and Griffin just don't have that connection. Yes, there's attraction, but nothing beyond that. They are great friends. Noah and Jordan make a lot of mistakes, and assumptions are made on both sides. They both are hurting and take it out on the other and themselves. There was a lot of angst happening all through this book. I hated to see two people who should so obviously be together, make the choices that they did. It was a difficult year for both of them, a long road where they were constantly being thrown together. In the end, final choices were made that made me happy, and there was a great possibility of a happy ever after which is always good. **I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review**This book grabbed me from page one. It's written in first person present tense, which I think is hard for people to pull off. A.J. Pine delivered!From the moment I was introduced to Jordan, I loved her. She's uncertain of herself, but not in a way that turns me off. She's the girl that struggles with her own desires and needs, and questions her actions, yet she's strong and confident enough to speak her mind.We meet the two love interests - yes, I said two - Griffin and Noah - within the first two chapters. Griffin, we learn, is the male character that doesn't want a commitment. He's smoking hot, and all Jordan (and the reader) can think about is planting a kiss on him. Then comes Noah, also good looking, but the type to commit. He and Jordan have a lot in common. Griffin and Jordan do, too - instant, undeniable attraction.The book guides us through Jordan's year abroad, and the internal struggle to go after what she thinks she needs - a fling, no attachments - and what she wants - a sweet guy who shares her interests. There's heat with both guys, and A.J. Pine does an excellent job with the steamy :)I highly recommend this book. It's sweet and funny - a perfect summer read.
What do You think about If Only (2014)?
Noah was the most frustrating book boyfriend, but still it was a fun read
