Many thanks to NetGalley for a chance to read and review this book. I have The Handover by David M. Bennett three out of five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️
For the first half of the book, I found it quite hard to connect with the characters, writing style and the dual stories that were unfolding although there was the mystery part of the book which kept me going. I was very intrigued to find out this big secret Daisy has been keeping since she was nine years old.
As I kept reading, I started to enjoy this story a lot more and liked reading about Daisy and Nate. I loved the setting of the museum and the various lessons learnt throughout the book.
Definitely mixed emotions on how I felt throughout reading this book but overall it was an averagely enjoyable book to have read.

What an absolutely beautiful book!!!
It all begins with Daisy and Nate working alternating shifts at museum… Daisy does nights, Nate does days. There paths cross for only 15 minuites a day but 15 minuites is all it takes to fall in love…
If you’re a fan of Grumpy/ sunshine AND slowburn then this is the book for you.
Their story’s are SO heartbreaking and the way they cope with their trauma feels so real making them especially relatable and loveable.
Read this book now. You will laugh. You will cry. You will fall in love. And i guarantee you that you will not be disappointed. David did a spectacular job with this one!
