The amount of times they “grab a bite” in this book is ridiculous. It felt like it was all telling, no showing. Pretty boring. Didn’t root for either of them. 

a beautiful story of yearning and being in love. the ending is everything i could have hoped for!

This book was sooooo slow to get started. However, as the love story unfolded, I was charmed and inspired by two women that really went all in for love
