I'm not too enamored with this book because I've been getting a little tired of insta-love lately. They get intimate immediately, but there's no real development of the relationship that the reader can witness. They're just suddenly in love but not yet saying it. The emotional progression of their relationship is referred to in passing in that Miles and Adam spend lots of time together at the resort, but not much of this is shown in the dialogue. Then the really big thing, the explanation of what happened to Miles, comes from his sister rather than Miles himself.

It's still a good story, but it just didn't affect me on a deep level.
