I enjoyed this one, but it did take me a while to get into (about 100 pages). I liked it when I was reading it, but often did not feel drawn to pick it back up when I wasn’t reading if that makes sense. This definitely felt like women’s fiction more than contemporary romance to me. I liked the characters, story line, and FMC Roisin. She has a good group of female friends, which I always enjoy seeing in books (girl power!!). I’m not a huge fan of cheating/dishonesty in books, and that seemed to keep coming up in the story.

I did go into the story expecting romance to be the focus based on the cover, but that really was a secondary plot. I felt like Roisin’s journey to reconnect with herself and find her strength was the central point. She makes a lot of hard decisions but is never willing to compromise on what is best for her, which I really admired. I was really in the mood for a good romance, so I think I would have enjoyed this book more if I had gone into it expecting women’s fiction from the start.

Overall an nice read!
