Great book and well written but didn’t grab my attention that well.

Predictable and boring with no characters worth rooting for. Easy to read but would not recommend.

I thought overall that this book was okay. I understood her situation and I related to how she was feeling. I thought the romance was cute but not something I need to read again.

the synopsis of this is so dramatic the book itself is underwhelming if this was just marketed as what it is a simple romance then i would have liked it more

This is very boring and unrelatable. The main character is an entitled heiress. The story is very cliché and shallow...

It was good...not Light We Lost good but still good. Nina was harder to connect with because she came from such a life of privilege, that it was a little “woe is me.” I’ve lost my dad too, so it made it easier to connect on that level. But I felt that I’ve read other books that make the pain of watching someone die more real. Allen Brennert’s Molokai for example. All in all, it was a good story and a real page turner. It’s fast-paced and I like the short chapters. I still think about the characters from her first book and what they could have done to change their destinies. Not so sure this book will have the same staying power. Will I read her future books? Of course!

TW: death, chronic illness, grief
The story of a young woman who after her fathers passing learns who and what she can become to achieve the future she wants for herself. At the beginning the story felt a little bland, but once I got more insight into the MC’s deeper emotions and struggles I really started to cheer for her. Other than seeing the main character evolve and believe in herself, there wasn’t much else to the story, but it was enjoyable all the same.
Our main character is dealing with a lot and through her struggle with grief we see her fully bloom into the person she wants to be instead of a person who others told her she should be. I always like to see this happen with main characters, especially female characters. I like the characters surrounding and supporting our MC through the story, I thought they were helpful for our MC’s journey and they were all stylized well.
The romance felt a little unrealistic but that was probably because it was so fast paced, there was no question about their physical connection but I also thought the characters had strong emotional connections as well - so I enjoyed it well enough.

As long as she lived, so did he. He would be alive in her. Every time she folded her laundry, made coffee, celebrated a holiday, took a ski trip, went for a swim, ran a race. And so so much more, he’d always be there - except that he wouldn’t.

By the laws of probability there had to be at least hundreds if not thousands of people who were going through the same thing at the same time.

I loved Jill Santopolo's first book. It spoke to me. I did enjoy this book to. Very easy read. I loved the New York location. I felt for Nina. Being an adult sucks sometimes and finding out your father's secrets after his death has to be be terrible.

Sort of cliche ... a romance where the girl is picking between the spontaneous guy that makes her feel wild and free or the stable safe adoring guy.
The twist was the author threw in the story of her father who passes and leaves her with secrets and a large inheritance.
It was cute, didn't give me the feels though. It was a solid 3 stars.

A beautiful love story that also takes place in New York City, just as her first book had. I loved the characters and the trust your instincts-follow your heart-theme of love and relationships.
