I really liked this book. I admit it took some time to get into, but once you get passed the first few chapters, it starts to pick up speed. I really enjoyed the 80's and 90's references throughout the book as well since I was also in school at that time.

Katie/Kate had a crush on Jake since the 6th grade. They finally become a couple in high school - each other's first true loves. I think most women can relate that their first true love (especially if it was in high school) holds a special place in their heart. Jake leaves town without telling any of his friends (the members of his band) or the love of his life, Katie. In fact, he stands her up for the senior prom. Thirteen years later Kate has the opportunity to get revenge on Jake when he returns to their hometown for a MTV special. There are definitely still sparks between the two and what happens next may surprise you. In the end, Kate makes her choice and the reader also gets to see how the beginning came to be.

Definitely worth reading, but take your time. Don't try to rush through it.
