Here's what I'm giving it:
Rating: 4.5 stars
Here's why:
Disclaimer: I received no compensation from the author, Netgalley or the publisher for this honest review.
This one was really close to a 5-star for me but I felt some of the angst about telling the parents about their true career desires was a bit much.
Other than that, the romance which was well written kept me captivated as I watched a young woman blossom and a young man finally believe in his own worth.
The familial relationships were intricate but realistic and you couldn't help but sympathize with both characters as they tried to find the correct path they needed to take.
Would I recommend this? Yeppers! I'd even read a sequel.
