I will definitely remember this book for a long time! It was a slow-burn with Maria falling in love with Aristotle and the author ran with it in just the right speed and word amount. I was very pleased with that. The book touched on just about every question that I needed answered, which brought me comfort and surprise at the same time. I still have a hard time deciphering whether or not I was content with the ending, as far as Maria finding out about Aristotle’s wedding. On one hand, I felt like it was too rushed. On the other, it felt right ending it that way. I think I will always be debating about this.
