Summary:
Far from love at first sight, Jen and Wes slowly begin to encounter each other in ordinary situations, eventually discovering that they share a strong chemistry. But Jen has always been a drifter, leaving city after city because of her father’s job. When it’s time for Jen to move again, the two must decide if the relationship is worth salvaging.

My Thoughts:
Like the movie Going the Distance (starring Drew Barrymore and Justin Long), Wes and Jen, an average young couple, must decide if their intense connection can overcome the miles that separate them. Hautman has created a refreshing novel that challenges the conventional boy meets girl love story.
