Derek had a string of girlfriends, and Tegan was stuck in a dead-end relationship with her high school \u201csweetheart.\u201d\u00a0 Tegan was planning to break up with her long-time boyfriend when she discovered she was pregnant.\u00a0 After Tegan announced her pregnancy to him, Derek realized that their relationship would never be more than a close friendship.\u00a0 Their paths took different directions, and they grew apart.\u00a0 He married another girl, they had a baby, and Derek and Tegan\u2019s friendship ultimately dissolved after one devastating phone call.<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward thirteen years, and Tegan and Derek\u2019s fated paths crossed again.\u00a0 After a horrific tragedy, Derek found himself back in his hometown and forced to confront Tegan who was still deeply hurt by the way their friendship ended.\u00a0 There were so many obstacles they must overcome to repair their friendship, and even more drama awaited them when their two teenagers became enemies at school.\u00a0 On their quest to revive their practically deceased friendship, they realized they both want more from their relationship than just a good friend.\u00a0 It\u2019s a race against their horrible timing to see if they can finally be who everyone thought they should be so many years ago.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Why I read it: Sent to me by a member of one of my book clubs on Facebook<\/li>\n<li>Trigger warnings: Language, sexual content<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>This was a serious rom\/com in that it dealt with some heavy issues, but in a lighthearted way.\u00a0 I enjoyed the characters\u2019 witty banter with each other, and I thought the main characters were developed well.\u00a0 I always like it when I feel like I would be friends with at least one of the characters in a book.\u00a0 I felt some parts were slow, but not slow enough for me to stop reading.\u00a0 By a third of the way into the book, I was invested in it and wanted to see what would happen.\u00a0 It was slightly predictable, but not in a horrible way.\u00a0 It would be a great beach read or book club pick if the group is in the mood for a romance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s all about the timing.
