A rule-breaker with a fiery attitude, Ella always wore her heart on her sleeve. Then she left everything behind to go to college, where she transformed into someone who follows the rules, keeps everything together, and hides all her problems. Now it's summer break and she has nowhere else to go but home. But once there, Ella fears that everything she's worked so hard to bury might resurface-especially with Micha living right next door.

Smart, sexy, and confident, Micha can get under Ella's skin like no one else. He knows everything about her, including her darkest secrets. If he tries to tempt the old Ella to return, he will be impossible to resist. But what Ella doesn't realize is that when she left, she took a piece of Micha's heart with her. Now he's determined to win back the girl he lost, no matter what it takes.

One of the reasons why I bought this book, besides being on the NYT Bestseller, is the title: The Secret of Ella and Micha. I love the mystery of the title so I decided to read.

Ella and Micha have been best friends since childhood; unfortunately they never had the opportunity to become more. They both come from broken homes but one tragic night makes Ella leave without any explanations. Devastated from her departure, Micha puts his life on hold and decides to search for her whereabouts. .

Ella used to be a wild-child, rule-breaker and very spontaneous. She left her old life behind, leaving to college with a new self-preserve attitude. With nowhere to go during her summer break, she doesn’t have any options but to return home. With her sudden reappearance, Micha, the sexy and confident neighbor, is determined to bring his old best-friend back.

I truly enjoyed reading this book. I found myself loving the characters; they each had something to give. I loved their friendship and the real-life scenarios. The story was well built providing us enough information of each character. I cannot wait to read The Forever of Ella and Micha! I am glad I decided to give this book a chance based on the title.
