Sweet Spark: Shiloh and Cary aren't sure if it's possible to pick up the pieces of their golden friendship from their childhood and young adult lives. And then they're not sure if they want to risk it to see if there's something more.
More than a decade has passed since Shiloh and Cary even saw each other. But when the third from their high school trio invites them to his wedding, they both show up and reconnect.
They've each followed their expected adult path, to an extent. Cary is a Navy man, and Shiloh has a career in the arts. But maybe there's enough of the people they were back when they were the closest of friends that they still recognize in each other.
Of course, if they'd actually dated in high school, as everyone had expected, it would have undoubtedly been easier. Now they've got plenty of adult problems in the mix as well. Shiloh is divorced and a single mother who lives with her mother in the house where she grew up. Cary is the most responsible member of his childhood family, and now continues to try to manage everything for his mother from a distance.
Overall, the story went pretty much as expected. High school relationships can never end up as simple as they appear in the beginning, and adult live makes everything harder. The book earned 3 out of 5 stars and was a nice cozy friends-to-lovers romance for a pretty quirky girl and they guy she never thought she'd be with forever.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for my free electronic copy of this book. Receiving the book for free did not influence my review.
