Review: "From Me To You" by Mary Carson

From Me To You: A Sweet Second Chance Forced Proximity Small Town RomCom Novella by Mary Carson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

While spending the weekend in her college roommate Julie's hometown, Lizzy Cross met Julie's older brother's best friend, Theo Hayes. They hit it off and even dated long distance for a while, but Theo kept canceling their plans to get together in person. The last time they were supposed to meet up, he not only canceled, he unexpectedly broke up with her. Three years later, Julie is getting married and has asked Lizzy to be her maid of honor. She'd hoped to be able to avoid Theo during the wedding festivities, but when she arrives at the rehearsal dinner, she's dismayed to learn that he's been asked to fill in as a groomsman at the last minute. Theo, meanwhile, sees it as an opportunity; he's spent their time apart working to be worthy of Lizzy and intends to put forth his best effort to win her back before the weekend is over. Can he convince her that he's changed and won't break her heart a second time?

I very much enjoyed this fun, quick read. Lizzy and Theo's banter had me chuckling from their very first encounter. Lizzy was understandably hurt by the way Theo had ended things between them three years earlier, but his explanation of the circumstances behind the breakup made a lot of sense. I think their biggest problem was that they were just too young when they first met; they needed time to grow apart before they could grow together.

I highly recommend "From Me To You" for all sweet contemporary and romantic comedy fans and look forward to whatever the author writes next.
