In this charming small-town romance, two best friends sharing a kiss might have made the worst mistake of their lives—or found the best thing that's ever happened to them.
Between helping at her family’s inn and teaching painting, Elizabeth Wu has put her dream of being an artist on the back burner. But her plan to launch an arts festival will boost the local Blue Cedar Falls arts scene and give her a showcase for her own work. If only she can get the town council on board. At least she can rely on her dependable best friend Graham to support her. Except lately, he hasn’t been acting like his old self, and she has no idea why.
Graham Lewis has been secretly in love with Elizabeth forever, but it’s past time that he faces the cold, hard truth: vivacious, amazing Elizabeth will never see him as anything but a platonic pal. He’s going to help her get the festival off the ground, but after that he needs to forget his one-sided crush. Until one impulsive kiss changes everything. Can they really rebuild their entire relationship—and the festival—from the ground up? Or will it all come crashing down?
Elizabeth and Graham are best friends and things are seeming off when he breaks the news that he's moving into a new house. To Elizabeth was always there and dependable and now it's all the more confusing he's relocating from thier comfortable friendship. Graham always had a thing for Elizabeth and her flighty ways but he need to learn to move on. But after a impulsive kiss it seems there's more feelings going on. As they work on Elizabeths new arts festival project they navigate this new non platonic relationship they seem to be forming.
So I really enjoyed this book. It had the small town feels without the over dramatics. It seems there was alot going on when it came to Elizabeth she always felt like the black sheep. Then there was this one time run in with the law that everyone seems to never want to forget and she's grown but being in a small down trouble isn't something people easily forget and let go. So while reading reading this book the reader gets to know Elizabeth character and really understand why she is the way she is which I really liked. As for the ever-supportive Graham who is really there for her when she needed it it was interested in getting to know his story as well. He has a overachieving brother and the father who just wants more for him in his own grumpy way. It was interesting how he played his part in this book. As for the whole friendship to lovers thing I really enjoyed seeing how these two working on figuring out how things were going to be now that feelings were out in the open. It must also interesting seeing how they tried working together to form the Arts Festival. Over all this is a really good book I really enjoyed it.
