And just like that Lizzy Dent has done it again. I think she has a way of creating a world that is very realistic. The characters are always fleshed out without it being an exposition dump.
I loved Amy, Maggie and Jake and loved the way they bounced off of each other while still being in the know of the fact that these people are perfect strangers. Their meeting destined. I think the relationship that grew between Jake and Amy was fun and flirty without being sickly sweet.
Amy of course makes a couple of really dumb decisions, but I'll give her a pass.
I can't wait to see where Lizzy goes next... Italy?
Crying Score: None

i loved this book!! the banter was everything! it was a funny, lighthearted, as well as a romantic read that was quite enjoyable.
the FMC, amy, is a force. she is a breath of air to this genre. it is hard to find books that have a FMC in her 30s that can’t figure out how to pull her life together. it’s refreshing to see from a younger view! it shows that it’s ok to not know what you are doing and everything takes time.
jake is the divine. he is the hottest! his personality is one of the best i’ve seen from a MMC. i love the introverted aspect of him. his flaws? none.
i just HAVE to add the revenge amy got on chris is empowering! i loved that she took her power back!
but with all of that i feel like amy is missing something and maybe that’s the point; her being 30 and lost. i also felt like it needed more umph. i LIVE for drama and tears and i felt like it fell short in that area.
