I will 100% admit that I picked this book solely off the cover and I am so happy I did!!! I really liked this story and I found the characters extremely likable. I loved the overall plot but I wish the story was longer, not because it felt unresolved but because I like the characters so much! I felt like I was there at times, feeling their emotions, laughing with them. Overall it made me excited to read the next book in the series as well as explore other books by the author.
This was my first book by the author and I definitely recommend it if you are looking for a quick insta-love story that will make you feel all the feels.

Cody was living his best life as an NFL played engaged to a beautiful girl, but it all disappears in an instant. Angie is a nurse in NYC living her dreams with her boyfriend/boss by her side or at least she thought she was. While starting over is hard , having to start over after heartbreak brings it to a new level. These two are both a little fun she on starting a new relationship but their pull us just too strong. They fight through the pain and finally start to get their footing when a bomb is dropped at their feet and in the midst of the carnage the unthinkable occurs sending them off to find out what is truly important in life. This book was absolutely amazing! I lived all the characters and their personalities. This book was funny and heart wrenching and uplifting all at the same time and I did not want it to end!

I have read other titles by this author and this is just as good as those. The author did a great job with giving these characters life. The chemistry is undeniable and steamy. The storyline flows smoothly from beginning to end.
It’s always a pleasure to read books by this author.

I love Angie/Angel. She is one strong, independent, fierce woman who is just a little bit broken. I love Cody. He is so strong and his determination allows him to overcome a defeating tragedy. Their interactions from the start are fascinating and lovable and so much fun. Their downs make your heart beat slow to a crawl. I love Mabel, Holt, Sam, Jim and all of the friends and family that surround this couple. The writing is good, the characters are three dimensional, realistic and likeable. I laughed a lot. I cried great big fat, rolling tears when the author chose to tear my heart out. I am not sure I can figure her for that. I am also not sure I can read the next story, no matter how badly I want to. After days of finishing this book, I am still sad and reader miserable with a little ache in my soul for Aliza and all of the friends. This one is well worth the time.

There are so many ways that life can knock you down. It doesn’t always mean physically, but life did knock Cody physically on his back. The dream he had worked so hard and for so long came to an end. It took a bit, but he was able to stand back up and find a new dream and a way to succeed. The initial meeting/run-in between Cody and Angie could be a little cheesy, but sometimes meeting a person that you have an instant connection with doesn’t work and the timing could be all wrong. That is why I like the second-chance stories. Life and people can disappoint you, sometimes to where it feels like there will never be an upside. But you cry and grieve and stand up and look for the beauty in life. It could be a new love, it could be a new (or maybe old) friend, new job, new hobby. You never know what is waiting around the corner. I also love the song that the title is based on.
My first book by this author and it won’t be the last. I really enjoyed this cute instalove story set in a quaint southern town. Ange and Cody were great characters and I couldn’t help but root for them. Excited to see where the author takes this series.
