Mini Audiobook Review: 4.5 -This was my first Rainbow Rowell book and I will say I really enjoyed it!!! At first I wasn't sure what to expect from the book but I was genuinely surprised. I will say I was getting nervous as to where the book was heading but to my surprise it didn't go the way I thought it was. 

The title of this book is very accurate. If you are a fan of slow burns, this could be a good one for you. But if you are not a fan of miscommunication, you may want to sit this one out as I feel like this book was a whole bunch of miscommunications. Shiloh and Cary have been playing this flirtatious dance from high school until their adult lives. Never figuring out the best timing that worked for them and if they even wanted to be with one another. 

I was very frustrated with Shiloh throughout most of it because Cary was so certain of his feelings (perhaps he did not communicate clear enough) but she insists that he wasn't telling the truth. I think this was partially her not thinking she was good enough for him in their younger days and then thinking her children & baggage was just too much for him. 

This book is told from two timelines - the past and current. We got to see them as they interacted in high school as well as in college. You can't help but root for them the entire time. I thought Rowell was able to showcase how complicated relationships can be. This was also my first book that had one of the love interest in the military. 

I took off half a point because as Shiloh alluded, they didn't really date before jumping ahead. I would have loved to have seen what dating would have been like between the two of them. 

I felt like that audiobook was well done and quick listen even though it is over 11 hours. Rebecca Lowman did a great job portraying all the characters but especially to Shiloh. 

I read this one for a book club and I'm anxious to hear what the others think about this one.
