A stand-alone romantic comedy set against the background of Scottish small towns and locks that will make you laugh, cry, and definitely melt your heart.

Livie Dunn, bookworm and aspiring bookstore owner, has been in love with her best friend ever since he dropped a bug down her shirt in primary school. She never stopped hoping that one day he’d realize they were made for each other.

Until Mia got in the way.

Kyle Huang has been taught to always do the right thing. But when that involves ostracizing his best friend by marrying her childhood nemesis, Mia, life as he knows it derails and crashes.

Suddenly, their happy ever after seems like a broken dream, especially when Livie moves across two continents to open a bookstore in Scotland.

To salvage a love that seems all but lost, Kyle must come to terms with his own bad choices and hope that Livie is willing to forgive and help him face his demons—a task that is anything but simple. Will he be able to reignite her love or will he lose it all?

Livie has been in love with her best friend Kyle for as long as she can remember.  Unfortunately he is marrying her life long nemesis Mia.  She can no longer stand to be around to witness their relationship so moves to Scotland to run a book shop.  

Mia is spoilt, obnoxious, mean and controlling and it becomes apparent quickly that the relationship she has with Kyle is not all it seems and he tries to disentangle himself and follow Livie.

I struggled to understand how Kyle ended up with Mia given the strong friendship between Kyle and Livie and Kyle knowing how Livie feels towards Mia, which had me struggling a bit to get into this book.  I loved the relocation to Scotland and the book shop principle that led Livie there.  I love Kyle when he is with Livie - he comes alive.  I hate how he is with Mia as he is timid and down trodden and just struggling to find his place.  Mia has been controlling him and the realisation for him is hard for him to comprehend and accept.  Livie is such a sweetheart and will help even her worst enemy if they need  it.  Kyle and Livie really seem to belong together.
