Before Matt, Ella had a plan. Get over her ex-boyfriend and graduate high school—simple as that. But Matt—the cute, shy, bespectacled bass player—was never part of that plan. And neither was attending a party that was crashed by the cops just minutes after they arrived. Or spending an entire night saying "yes" to every crazy, fun thing they could think of.
But then Matt leaves town, breaking Ella's heart. And when he shows up a year later—wanting to relive the night that brought them together—Ella isn't sure whether Matt's worth a second chance. Or if re-creating the past can help them create a different future.” - taken from Goodreads.com
This is another book that had been on my TBR list for a while. The story takes place over two different nights, Then and Now. Then is the night Ella first meets Matt through her best friend, Meg and her boyfriend, Jake. Matt is the new bassist for Jake's band. Now is when Matt turns up six months after leaving town breaking Ella's heart and never communicating with his friends again.
When Matt turns up unexpectedly at a party thrown by Meg's brother, Ella is floored. Deciding to go off with him despite Meg's objections, Ella realizes that Matt is trying to recreate the night they first met. A night where they said yes to everything that was suggested. Told between Then and Now, the author beautifully weaves together the story to show how Matt tried to make both nights similar.
“Seventeen-year-old Matt had the perfect life in Orlando. He met the girl of his dreams, rocked out on bass in an awesome band, and partied with the best group of friends he could ask for. But then his family gets a call and he has to move back to Texas—immediately. Now stuck with no possibility of ever seeing his friends in Orlando again, Matt is ready to give up. But can he open up his heart to new friends and a second chance?” - taken from Goodreads.com
