Kit Maxwell, a friend of Annie’s friend, is an aspiring writer, and current student. He needs to complete his novel and have it accepted by a publisher before he can graduate. He’s afraid it’s never going to happen because he simply cannot find a quiet place to write. And then he learns of all the lovely space available at Annie’s. Space she’s not positive she wants to fill with a male.

When Kit moves in, things go surprisingly well, and Annie, and her family, are delighted that Kit really is just a friend. They’re all even more delighted when Annie and Kit start dating other people. That works well - until Kit ruins one of Annie’s dates. A sequence of events have them analyzing their feelings for each other, but will they be able to act on them before it’s too late?

Much of Ms. Steinsiek’s story is very predictable, but charming all the same. A group of friends who all grew up together gives built-in dynamics to the story. There is a fun cast of quirky characters in Annie’s Song, and the play between Kit and Rosina, the Morgan’s cook, makes for especially delightful reading.
