I went into this book blindly without checking out what the book was about. I assumed from the title that it would be another a romcom so that’s why I decided to check it out. Far from but much more deeper type of story. I’m on the fence about how I feel about the book. The writing was great and the elements of the storyline was there but it just didn’t grab me like it could’ve. I didn’t love it or hate it. I just wanted more so I could invest in.

The book centered around Alice and Daniel. Two unlikely people to come together but they had a connection that really could’ve been explored more. Alice had been the black sheep of the family despite being told she wasn’t. She had felt like that for a long time. Ever since the death of her mother, she never quite felt like she fit in as seamlessly as her other sisters. The feeling of being unloved and not good enough led her to make some challenging choices in her life including her love life. It isn’t until she gets news of her dying father that makes her confront her past and explore the life she had been running away from.

Daniel just came into the picture. I wish the transition of his character in the book would’ve been different. The connection to her life was just a parallel. It was only a brief moment that we could experience a connection between them and learn what brought them together but I’m just left with uncertainty.

For me, much of the details I felt were a bit sparse. There were moments that I was holding on waiting for something big to be explored or revealed and felt a bit let down. There were certain moments that if had a different outcome, I would’ve hung on to every word. Those moments for me made the difference for me saying this book was great to just ok. On the bright side, I thought the writing was wonderful and the quality was there. Despite my thoughts on this one, I’d check her out again.
