Fifteen years older than her, Pete had been her crush for as long as she could remember. But she’d misread the situation—confusing friendliness for undying love. Awkward. Add her father to the misunderstanding, and Pete had been left with a broken nose and a business on the edge of ruin. The man had to be just as glad as everyone else when she left town.
Seven years on, things are different. Adele is no longer a kid, but a fully grown adult more than capable of getting through the wedding and being polite. But all it takes is seeing him again to bring back all those old feelings.
Sometimes first loves are the truest
I read It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time in one sitting. It was easy to enjoy. It flowed smoothly in between past and current events with well timed humor and angst.
The story centers around Adele and Pete, who have a fifteen year age gap. Not only is Pete fifteen years older than Adele but he also works with her father.
Seven years ago, after Adele turned eighteen, she decided in a not so well conceived plan to express her love for her best friend, Pete. Her plans turned out to be a total failure. Now she's back to attend her Father's wedding and will be staying at Pete's home.
Before the incident that drove Adele away, she and Pete had developed a close friendship. They had a connection that Adele hasn't been able to recreate. They understood each other, even with the age difference. As adults it takes time for them to reconnect. (Other than in the bedroom, which by the way is smoking hot!) Pete keeps up his walls with any woman because of his past. Adele keeps up her defenses not wanting another broken heart. The struggle is real.
I enjoyed the story of reconnection. The only draw back (for me) is that the story is only written in Adele's POV. I wanted to strangled Pete at times because really what the hell was he thinking? 5 Stars
