This was a cute little romance in which our characters end up living in the same flat, although at different times of day.  Their paths don't physically cross (until much later in the book), so they leave one another notes in the flat.  The notes were my favorite part!  There are a few heavier aspects to this romance, but they don't overwhelm the story.  We have a wrongful imprisonment and a  medical/illness element to the story.  The romance feels more like a friendship in my memory of the book because it was not overly sexy or anything like that.  This was well done, just not the absolute most enjoyable romance I've ever read due to having a bit of a more serious and less fun tone.

Should really be 3 and a half stars. Very easy reading but also not entirely frivolous as it deals with the important subject of gaslighting.Great choice for summer holiday reading.

Somewhat predictable end-game, but an interesting storyline nonetheless, with enough intrigue to keep me interested. Mainly feel-good.
