Fred and Olivia met as teenagers. They fell- hard. But the timing wasn't right. Five years later, they fell again. Again, the timing isn't right. History keeps repeating itself every five years. But now things are different. Olivia's family is losing their family estate in the Hamptons. Olivia escapes her crumbling marriage in Manhattan and goes home to ready the house. Where she finds out that the new buyer is... Fred. Fred is seeing someone. Olivia thinks she wants to repair her marriage. So maybe everyone is where they should be. Or maybe the timing is finally right.

I like the concept of the story, but I didn't like any of the characters. It is hard to root for a couple in a romance if you do not even like them. And I saw the climax coming 10 miles away.

I still enjoyed the book. But I feel it would have been so much better if the characters were better people.

Megan Tusing narrates the audiobook and does a good job, as usual.

I received an advance audio copy in exchange for an honest review.
