“Time is the one thing we waste more of than anything else.”

This follows Sophia who at the age of 12 in the middle of the night was woken up by her mother to fleeing the ranch and away from her father to move to New York. She is now 32 and a family member has passed away in the place she once called home. It’s been 20 years can the truth of why she left be revealed?

This was just good. I enjoyed the story but the execution of some bits fell flat for me. I also listened to the audiobook and it wasn’t my favourite. Sophia and Braxton didn’t really like each other at first but it didn’t feel like an enemies or grump element to the characters. It was a little back and forth between them so I wasn’t fussed on the relationship growing. Then they kissed and started getting closer. Personally I didn’t feel much for them. Towards the end when you find out why she was taken by her mother the execution of the aftermath was shocking. The mother deserved worse then what happened she took 20 years of her daughters life and her rocking up to the ranch is just strange as well. Worst part was Sophia wanted to go back home and was set to leave then everything came out the MMC didn’t have to lift a finger for her to stay which I thought we would have got.

The main characters relationship wasn’t believable at all. They had so few interactions just the 2 of them. They’re were a few cute lines of dialog but it wasn’t enough for them to establish a relationship. I don’t think they had a single conversation about their feelings until the last chapter. It was so odd.
