At a party with her BFF Meg, Ella runs into ex-boyfriend Matt, who broke her heart when he left town abruptly months ago; he's there to apologize and win Ella back. Though debut novelist Gibaldi overwrites at times, her narrative switching between "now" and "then" (the night Ella and Matt met a year ago) effectively develops the couple's swoon-worthy romance.
