Elijah Stevenson was the resident nerd at Spring Hills High. Convention said he should have never been friends with someone like Kennedy Myers. He hid in the shadows and avoided the spotlight, where she thrived. Not wanting to risk their friendship, Elijah watched as she ran off with the boy he knew wouldn't love her the way he did.
The Spring Hills Ten-Year High School reunion gives them both an opportunity to revisit the point in their life that they both hold with regret. Will the reunion allow them a second chance or will it be just another missed connection?
Review
What a gorgeous, sweet, and angsty book! Kennedy and Elijah are super cute together - it's clear they've always had a strong connection when it's just been the two of them. Their little in jokes and ease of communication make them such a good couple with a lot of history, and I loved them together.
Unfortunately, when the rest of the world is around, Elijah's insecurities return and Kennedy finds herself falling back into the role everyone expects of her. Being forced to confront their feelings (and each other) is exactly what they need. Thankfully, there's a whole lot of supporting characters and situations there to push them together! While Elijah's sister Jada is the real MVP, there's this moment of Kennedy and her cheer friends that stands out as it reminds us that the 'popular airhead cheerleaders' were also hardworking girls with their own lives and ambitions.
I have mixed feelings about school reunions but none about this book. It's such a good time!
