I was too excited to claim this book from Amazon's First Reads program this month! I love Silvia Moreno-Garcia's books and The Lover was no exception.
In this short read, our MC is Judith and her plight is simple: she wishes to be loved and whisked away by her true love. If you loved this author's other book, The Beautiful Ones, then be sure to read this as well!
It has a lot of similar elements and I thoroughly enjoyed both reads.
The one thing I would change is the length of this book! I think this needed to be a little bit longer, though I do understand the purpose is to be a short story. The ending comes far too quick and leaves me literally wanting more!
