dark emotional hopeful inspiring mysterious reflective sad slow-paced
This was cute and pretty short but a bit annoying? I loved the friends, the great dad that Theo was, the anxiety Charlie had towards motherhood and her distancing from Petal. I loved that Noelles dream of the flower shop came true, and I love the coincidence/always meant to be in each other’s lives aspect that was floating around the whole story. Now some things I didn’t like was the romance aspect? The ex-boyfriend I really didn’t care for it all and even the beginning of Noel and Sam‘s relationship was iffy for me but it all came together in the end and I did enjoy myself although I did spend a little bit of time wishing it would be over already I think the slowness of how it all felt assisted the irritation at the romance but I think that was just me not liking the character and not a flaw to the story.

Noelle’s story perfectly sums up living in comfort of the now and not wanting to change. I related to her. This story was a slow start for me but once i got about 70% or so I read it rather quickly. It was a cute rom com and I enjoyed it.
