  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated

I liked the story and I finished it relatively quickly, but I felt dissatisfied with the ending.
I don’t like that when we learned Brian was the one who killed Mile’s wife, the story became all about that. I know that was an important part or the story but I felt like I spent most of my time reading about Miles & Sarah and I would have rather learned more about the way they made up and decided to be together rather than Brian going to medical school.
