Read this one for a book club, and I’m not sure I would have stuck with it if it weren’t for that, but I was  glad I did by the end.

Sometimes the pace felt a little slow to me, and while the story was interesting I found myself wanting to hurry it along or craving more action. Though this could have been more indicative of my reading mood at the time rather than of the book itself.

However, I did really like this book and how it came together in the end.

The chemistry between Will and Anna sometimes fell short for me, but I enjoyed Anna’s character development and the focus on her personal growth. (In a way, I could have seen this book ending with her not being in a relationship with anyone as a perfectly acceptable ending.) I thought that the friendships she forged and the bond with her sister and kids were so sweet and just as important. 

I loved the Google searches at the beginning of each chapter as well. So relatable!

Reading the end of the last chapter made me smile and I’m glad I stuck with it. Overall a lovely read from Sophie Cousens and would definitely recommend. ❤️
