I have yet to be disappointed by a Katherine Center book! This is my third book by her, and they’ve been consistently excellent. I think now that I have a grasp on how her balance of romance to non-romance, I have a decent idea of what to expect from her books. This book was exactly what I wanted it to be! It was funny, but sincere. It dealt with real-world issues in a way that felt approachable and authentic to the characters. Did I guess all of Duncan’s secrets? Yes. But this isn’t a mystery novel, so I have no problem with that.
I will say that I started with the audiobook, but enjoyed it a lot more once I switched to the physical book. I’m not sure if it was just me getting used to the voice of Sam, or that I didn’t vibe with the narrator, but I preferred the physical book.
The characters were great, the story was interesting, and the pacing kept me reading. 4 stars.
Moderate: Medical trauma, Injury/Injury detail, Grief, Medical content, Panic attacks/disorders, and Mass/school shootings
