Our main characters share a February 29th birthday, and we see them primarily every leap day over the course of 20 years. It was an interesting change of pace to see a romance novel with such a long time span, and you do get to see character growth in a rewarding way. They seemed to spend a lot of time apart in between leap years though, so kind of weird romantic development. I didn’t have a bad time reading this, I just don’t think it’s going to stick with me for very long.
