SYNOPSIS:
- Kate is a widow & a single mom. Her husband, Cam, passed away, and she’s understandably struggling.
- She has a great support system. Her mother, her best friend, Grace, and her boss, Hugh, are her inner circle.
- She works at a university fundraising job, and she is traveling with Hugh for work. Due to some in flight issues, Hugh and Kate end up having a weekend on the east coast of Australia when the plane reroutes. With this weekend, she finally has some time to figure out what she wants in her life.
MY THOUGHTS
- Full disclosure: this isn’t my usual genre, so I do think avid readers of romance genre will enjoy this more than I did.
- I give the author major kudos for writing a story that is so personal to her own journey. In the acknowledgement section of the book, she mentioned she is a widow herself.
- The book covers some tough topics, like being a widow, grief, and learning to love again.
- The writing was okay, but overall, the story felt predictable & had a lot of cliches. I didn’t feel like there was a whole lot of character development, and they felt very one-dimensional.
TL;DR: ⭐️⭐️⭐️decent read. not my usual genre. predictable with lots of cliches.
