“I want to be by your side as we figure out the mess that is our lives.”
Miles has always been know as the quiet and nerdy roommate. After a car accident took his sister's life, he has buried himself in school work. Miles has crushed on Nessa all through college but never thought he was good enough for her.
Nessa is finally starting to get back to normal after her best friend she was crushing on fell for her other friend. She finds herself crushing on Miles, one of the other roommates, but keeps telling herself she can not fall for another roommate.
After Nessa goes on a couple of dates that don't go well but the guy does not get the message and tries to hurt her, Miles knows he just can not stand in the background anymore. Miles and Nessa start spending more time together studying which eventually leads to more but someone else has plans to keep them apart.
I hate writing reviews like this but I struggled with this book right from the beginning. Between all of the insecurities and the constant woe is me feeling from both Miles and Nessa, I was surprised I actually finished the book. I did feel sorry for Miles and what he went through just before college. Once Miles and Nessa finally came together, their chemistry was off the charts.
Stephen Dexter and Emma Wilder did do a good job of narrating the book and bringing the story to life.
