I started this book as an audiobook, but soon realized that the audiobook wasn't fast enough for me, and that I had to switch to my physical copy I bought for Indie bookstore day and I'm so glad I did.

This book took me longer than I thought it would, but honestly I'm glad it did. I'm glad I didn't gobble it up, and slowly enjoyed Helens and Grants story.

I wasn't sure how this love story would end. It is a romance, and you need a HEA but there was so much against them. I did find that the ending was severely rushed and that possibly another 20 or so pages would have been nice.

Overall, a great read. Would read another book written by Yulin.

This romance differs from a lot of contemporary romances in the seriousness of the main subject matter. It still has the occasional comedic moments and the hot scenes, but there’s always that elephant in the room. I’m still not sure if that’s a good or bad thing, but I was rooting for a happy ending and for a man to love me and wear his heart on his sleeve the way Grant does. This one will suck you in!
