I previously had not read anything by Lea Coll. I am really glad I read Take a Chance on Me. The characters are rich in character and multifaceted. I really enjoyed them. Sadie’s struggle is so real for many. Her struggle of having no one that sticks in her life and learning to depend solely on herself. The trauma of an alcoholic mother and her own assault along with that of her friends profoundly affected her. But even in her lonely existence she was able to finish college and law school. While her life choices haven’t always been the best; she has learned from her mistakes and is trying to keep her head above water.
This was such a profound read for me. It was a very emotional story. This was a 4.5/5 star read for me. My issues were with some of the outlying relationships, but I am really being kind of not picky. I would highly recommend this book. It is a slow burn romance with a pretty rocky bath to the HEA.
