Goodreads: How Long Is Too Long To Be In Love With Your Ex?

Ivy Stratton's best friend-turned boyfriend-turned best friend, Giuseppe, is the One That Got Away.

Ivy's the one who let him get away--and since then, Giuseppe has put her firmly in his friend zone.

It's nothing short of embarrassing that she still hopes there might be a second chance for their relationship.

But, no matter how hard she tries, Ivy can't imagine life without Giuseppe—until she inherits a time machine.

Kritters Thoughts:  A great companion after reading How to Host a Holiday, the reader gets to revisit with these adorable characters.  Ivy has a love/hate relationship with her semi ex boyfriend, Guiseppe.  He has a love for women and always has one, whether it be Ivy or some other lady on his arm at all times.  In this book, we leave Ivy's home and spend more time with her on the job and with her boss, Sy.  An interesting turn of events takes Ivy down a road where she discovers how one small change can affect many people and the outcome of their lives.

Of course, I can't divulge too much as this sweet and short book is hinged on one twist of events that takes Ivy down an interesting path.  I definitely enjoyed taking a step out of her apartment from How to Host a Holiday and into her job at a rare bookstore - who doesn't love a book that takes place in a bookstore!  Ivy is a character whom the reader knows needs a little molding, so she can find and enjoy happiness, but the reader just doesn't know how it will come about.  It does and I loved every moment of her trip.

A sweet chick lit that can be read from start to finish in one seating.  I am definitely excited to see where Ivy is headed next!   

Rating: absolutely loved it and want a sequel (which we will!)
