Goodreads asks "What did you think?" and I'm just not really sure. I loved the concept of having a one night stand and ending up trapped in your home with him the next day. This is what happens to Olivay, who was widowed one year earlier when her husband died in a freak accident on the sidewalk in front of their building. Olivay slowly but surely came out of her self-imposed seclusion and meets Henry in the coffee shop she frequents. Her conversation with Henry is enjoyable and they end up talking the afternoon away, going out for dinner, and then back to her apartment for the night. The next morning a bomb goes off nearby which shatters the windows of Olivay's apartment and sends foreign objects flying in causing much destruction and a serious injury to Olivay's knee. Henry is okay because he was quick to take cover. Henry and Olivay are now stuck in the apartment building and basically cut off from the world for awhile as phones, wifi, TV, etc. do not work. Olivay begins to realize that she doesn't know this man and she isn't sure she can trust him. Some of the things he says and does cause her to question who this man really is and if he is hiding something from her.

So that right there makes for a pretty exciting book.

Ah, but there is more. As the story moves along we are provided flashbacks of Henry's life and I found these flashbacks so weird. The way the situation is described, I couldn't help but picture it taking place in the 1940's. I had to remind myself each and every time the chapter switched to Henry's flashbacks that it should take place in the 2000's and consciously erase the image of Geneieve and Henry looking like Liesl and Rolf from the Sound of Music.

And then there is the ending. I was lost and had to re-read it - I was sure that I had missed something. No, that's really how it ended. And THAT is why I don't know what to think.
