Blurb:Living in one place your whole life has advantages, but everyone knowing your business isn’t one of them. Liz Matthews is no longer the shy tenth grader nicknamed Specs. Her eleven-year relationship with her high school sweetheart is definitely over. And she is never dating anyone from Everett, Indiana, again.
Then she walks into the optician’s shop and discovers the new owner is the one boy from high school she never forgot. No way David Sherwood’s decision to move back to Everett after all these years has anything to do with her. Is there? Liz is too raw to put her love life up for town fodder again, and too attracted not to…

David Sherwood is not about to admit he’s spent years pining over someone else’s girl. Can his silly jokes still make her laugh? Or is he too late for a chance with Liz Matthews…

Review: A sweet, cute story with all the makings

Small town life can be a royal pain. Especially when everyone knows everything about everyone in town. Ms Brenton has shared with us a glimpse of the small town life and what it’s like to move forward with so many eyes watching.

I connected with Liz from the get-go and could really feel her anxiety about what she thinks the town is thinking about her. Come to find out….AH HA!!! You thought I was going to spoil didn’t you? Nope not on your life. If you wanna know what goes down between cute Liz and studly David, and you know you do, then you just need to read. Though there were a few blank pages in the PDF that I am not sure were supposed to be there I promise you won’t be sorry if you grab this one :)
