megelizabeth's review against another edition
emotional
hopeful
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
3.5
"She wanted to drop her forehead against Sam’s chest, to cling to something, anyone that could drive out this painful throb in her stomach, this feeling of rejection or grief or whatever was crawling along her skin."
I found this to be a bit of a slog for a while, and it took me a bit of time to warm to and therefore root for the characters, particularly Sam. However, it did end up picking up a lot and I came to really care for Hayden and Sam; their slow-burn romance worked well and I enjoyed the explorations of their friendships and family relationships too (and appreciated some of the themes that went along with these).
I also HAVE to mention how much I adored Hayden's cat, Frank, and how much I loved that he played such a prominent role in the story!
This wasn't a new favourite romance for me, then, but I enjoyed it overall and it was both a cute time and a story with a decent amount of depth.
