Thank you to Random House Publishing Group for an advance copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
The premise of a wrong-dialed number, a connection for two people across the world was well done. I enjoyed the relationship that blooms between Hannah and Davey. I appreciated that we get an insight into both of our main characters' lives. The relationship that they share is very sweet.
The side characters for both Davey and Hannah were enjoyable. With Davey's best friend and Hannah's neighbor being a stand-out.
My two issues are these:
The side relationships that Hannah and Davey have were very toxic. Hannah's boyfriend is the worst, and I would have appreciated her dumping him LONG before she actually does. His obsessive behavior with her weight and diet was terrible. Add to the fact that he is rude to all her family and friends.
The other issue was something that may have just bothered me. Davey leaves his job, and before he starts his new job he is diagnosed with cancer. He's still in Texas, so where does he get insurance to pay for this? Is he rich enough that he can pay out of pocket? Ok, again this may have just been a thing I had an issue with, but it constantly pulled me out of the story.
Overall, this is a sweet romance that tackles tough topics.
