This is a seriously good book, most especially if you know someone with ADHD. I absolutely loved the main characters. It was very well written and edited. I will be following Madeline Ash after reading this book.
Nice to see a romantic hero with ADHD
I really did not care for this book. It tried to convey the thinking of an adult with ADHD and left me confused. I can sympathize but it was not an enjoyable read.
Great characters. Gives a bit of insight on what a person with ADHD struggles with daily. However I was not a big fan of Zack having to make the decision to allow Stevie to date or not. I believe children should be allowed to express what they are feeling. However, there are limits. Other than that great book.
Good raining day read.
Unusual in creating more realistic flawed characters who have real problems that they struggle with.
This story is an excellent insite into adults who live with ADHD. The premise is love lost with two lost young people . When they reconnect as adults they work to learn to deal with their life issues before making a commitment. Interesting, insiteful, and romantic. What’s not to like?
Predictable but easy to read.
An enjoyable story
To predictable.
For some reason I couldn’t get interested
Madeline Ash doesn’t let you put the book down!
Enjoyed reading it.
I appreciated the strength and vulnerability of the characters. Descriptive heartfelt and really just a wonderful story. People you can admire and identify with who are flawed and courageous.
