This so was flipping good!! This is really more a mystery than a romance I feel, even though romance is a key part of the story.

There’s a lot of underlying themes about grief and mental health that was unexpected but handled with care.

The mystery of Joseph Carter kept me intrigued. At times though I was getting a little frustrated on how there were more questions than answers as the story got going that was I was beginning to lose interest a few times. I’m really glad I stuck with it, especially as I got to buddy read it with a friend, which I found helpful to keep going (it was fun coming up with theories as to what was happening, with my theory being it was a whole “Time Traveler’s Wife” situation). The more the story progressed though and pieces started to come together, the results broke my heart. 

This is really a book you have to go into blind because just giving the smallest detail or reaction is a spoiler on its own. I will say though, read it and read it to the end. It all comes to together quite beautifully.

I am not a romance reader, but this book had me. At first, I despised Joseph but as the story progressed; I slowly seen the twists O'Leary very smartly hid for the progression of the story. I liked Siobhan, Jane and Miranda for their unique personalities.

It may be that it was a very timely read but I thought that it was an absolutely gorgeous book and the way in which the story was told just added an extra layer of intrigue and interest.
