Hey, I also want to get back into reading but haven't had much motivation recently. I think 50 books is a good target and look forwards to reading with you. Going to get 'Twenty-Five' on my kindle tonight :)

I loved that I could relate to Abigail and her fears. It was almost as if I was looking back at a younger version of myself.
I loved that I got caught up in Abigail's emotions multiple times, finding myself sobbing when she opened Ben's very thought birthday gift, and then crying off and on throughout the last act of the book.
I loved that sometimes I got so frustrated with Ben, that I wanted to toss the book across the room. I loved that because that's what love is sometimes. It's frustration, heartache, pain, but also forgiveness, happiness, and hope all rolled up into one.
Rachel Hamm did an AMAZING job of getting down to the essence of the perfect love story. I feel very lucky to have an autographed copy of this work. It's earned its place next to my other all-time favorites on my bookshelf. It's a great pick me up to remind me that love can truly conquer all, even the darker parts of ourselves. I can't wait to read it again!
What about y'all?
I found this book, an easy read and a light hearted romance. Can't say I loved it as at times it felt very cliche. I found I got a bit annoyed at the whole 'no sex' thing. But that did make up a lot of the contents so i understand why it was needed. That being said the 'break-up' was well done and I found it quite emotional.
Didn't relate very well to either of the characters. Found I shared Ben's frustration and therefore saw he's point of more than hers.
I also felt like the storyline lacked excitement at times.
On positive side, it was a warm story and rather sweet. Something I meant re-read if I need a little romantic 'pick-me-up'.
